Manchester High Hockey Co-Op Wins Division III Championship

Newington/Berlin/Manchester beat Bolton/Coventry/Rockville 1-0 to win the Division III championship at Yale's Ingalls Rink on Saturday.

The co-op boys hockey team that includes three students from Manchester High School won the Division III Championship on Saturday with a 1-0 win over a rival squad at Yale University’s Ingalls Rink in New Haven. 

The squad, made up of students from Manchester, Newington and Berlin high schools, defeated the Bolton/Coventry/Rockville squad 1-0 on Saturday. Last season, Manchester and Rockville were part of the same co-op hockey squad. 

Three Manchester High students, senior Patrick Mix and juniors Thomas Wood and Joshua Macsuga, play on the team.

Although the victory might be bittersweet for the Manchester High squad, as the hockey program is one of the potential cuts to the education budget proposed recently by Interim Superintendent Richard Kisiel, who said the limited participation by Manchester High students outweighs the $25,000 the school district spends on the program.
