By Emma Johnson and Alexis Kirby – Staff Reporters

Law sophomore Madison Krauss is a member of the Hamden High Co-Op girls hockey team. Advocate Staff Reporters Emma Johnson and Alexis Kirby interviewed Krauss about the team’s winter season. 

Emma Johnson: How did the season go for the team?

Madison Krauss: The season went very well. We made it pretty far in both SCCs and states. 

EJ: What did winning the SCC Tournament mean to you? 

MK: It was good because we beat the team that we lost to in SCC’s last year in overtime. It was very exciting getting to make it that far with my team.

AK: What were your team’s biggest accomplishments this season?

MK: We won SCC’s and also made it to states after not making it the past five years. One of our seniors, Trinity Sweeney, won SCC player of the year and went All-State. 

EJ: How does being a co-op affect your team?

MK: Being a co-op makes it better. It’s a bunch of different schools so there are more of a variety of new people to be close to, which I feel makes us get along better. 

AK: How do you think the team improved the most from last year to this year?

MK: There was a lot more improvement this year because there were only 10 skaters for varsity. It pushes us to get better and work together easier because there is fewer of us.
