What area of the state is it the best represented or most popular or the hotbed for the sport at this level?
That's tough...I would say there are 3 spots...Fairfield County, CT Shoreline area (West Haven to Branford) and the greater Hartford Area.
Thanks for bailing me out Medic...LOL...I can't believe I forgot those.Agreed but then you have to add in the preps tucked in the corners (Gunnery, Kent, AOF, Pomfret, Salisbury, Canterbury, etc..)
Agreed, but an increasingly growing number are in-state "high school" kids are siphoned off public school teams. True traditional public hockey powers (Hamden, West Haven, etc...) continue to lose kids to parochials/boarding preps.The preps are in a league of their own as most of their players are not from Kent, Salisbury, etc.
Don't forget the teams like the CT Oilers and USHL teams siphoning talent away too. This is one area where Joe Periera and Brendan Buckley will help...both know the organizations these kids play for VERY well.Agreed, but an increasingly growing number are in-state "high school" kids are siphoned off public school teams.

There is good talent in CT.
