The Milford Indians recently finished their winter season with a record of 4-15-1.
The team was coming off a 10-win season and was confident that they were going to make it to states again this year, but they fell short late in the season.
Senior captain Brandon Argyros was one of the main players that helped bring the team to success. He was one of the team’s leading scorers and went All-SCC and All-State.
“My own memorable accomplishments were scoring the game winning overtime goal vs. Amity,” Argyros said. ”Going All-Conference and All-State is something I’ll remember forever.”
Argyros showed his leadership on and off the ice all season.
“Brandon was positive all season,” said Cicarelli.” His good leadership really makes others want to be more like him, they look up to him.”
Argyros has been playing hockey since he was little. He’s been passionate about this sport since the first day he stepped out on the ice and that continues to this day.
“Being co-captains with Brandon was a great experience for my last season,” Ericson said. “He tries his best at whatever he does and it motivates not only me but the whole team.”
Argyros was a co-captain with Andrew Gobany, Luke Gibbs, Nash Ericson, and Doug McLenthan. Some other key players were Jake Comeau, Gobany, and Gibbs.
“My most memorable moment was getting player of the game against Branford,” Ericson said.” Even though our season didn’t go as planned, our team kept up our focus and intensity.”
One of the Indians’ most exciting wins was against Amity.
“Our line was the first to score in the 4-3 overtime win,” Cicarelli said. “I think that was one of the keys to the win.”
Some tough losses were against Guilford, Trinity Catholic, and Fairfield.
“We came in confident against Guilford, but just fell short,” Comeau said.
Next year, the boys have high expectations and their goal is to make it back to the state tournament.
The team has big shoes to fill considering all of the seniors leaving, but they are confident they can get the job done.
