PRIDE AND TRADITION – State Champs from the past come together for the Fifth Annual Hamden/West Haven Hockey Alumni Game, Friday February 19, 2010.

Alumni hockey players from West Haven High School and Hamden High School will play against each other in two games starting at 6:30 PM Friday February 19th at the Louis Astorino Arena in Hamden. Both games will be played in memory of Coaches Art Crouse and Louis Astorino to benefit Parkinson’s disease research in the name of Coach Astorino and Cancer research in the name of Coach Crouse. The format has changed this year and we have a young crew from both alumni groups playing in what promises to be a great example of what the Hamden West Haven rivalry was back when our teams dominated hockey in New England! Come see how much it means to play in an old time West Haven Hamden hockey game.

We have a growing Facebook group for those that want to join. The group name is “5th Annual Hamden/West Haven Alumni Hockey Game” which can be reached by going to this link
