The East Haven-Old Lyme-Old Saybrook-East Hampton boys’ ice hockey squad earned the No. 12 seed in the Division II State Tournament and faced off against No. 5 seed North Branford in the opening round at Northford Ice Pavilion on March 6. The Yellowjackets saw their season come to an end as they dropped a 3-1 decision versus the Thunderbirds to finish their year with an overall record of 9-11-1. Old Saybrook resident Charlie Carlo was a member of the team in his senior this season.

Both teams were firing pucks on the net all game when East Haven and North Branford met up in the first round of states. East Haven forced North Branford’s goalie to make 40 saves, while senior captain Matt Twarowski made 32 saves in net for the Yellowjackets. East Haven’s lone goal was scored by Chris Teto on an assist from Alec Speirs.
