DARIEN — Carter Ellis has developed into a top weapon for the New Canaan boys ice hockey team this season and the junior forward put an early stamp on the Rams’ game against Northwest Catholic on Saturday with a goal just 36 seconds after the opening drop.
As if that wasn’t bad enough for the Lions, Ellis then added a second tally with 5.2 seconds remaining in the first period for a 2-0 lead.
Buoyed by those goals and playing a relentless, up-tempo style, No. 6 New Canaan skated to its fifth consecutive victory, defeating Northwest Catholic, 5-1, at the Darien Ice House.
