WEST HAVEN — Even as his New Canaan girls ice hockey team was delivering a spectacular season and winning an FCIAC title, head coach Rich Bulan repeatedly said until someone defeats three-time defending champion Darien in the state tournament, the Blue Wave is still the team to beat.
Now, his Rams are ready to take their shot.
Rivals New Canaan (21-1-2) and Darien (17-4-1) will square off for the CHSGHA state championship when they clash in the final at 1 p.m., Saturday, at Bennett Rink in West Haven.
