Both teams are co-op programs, including players from multiple schools. This occurs when a school lacks enough players to form its own team, so interested athletes team up with other school players for the love of the game.
New Milford’s hockey team contains two Housatonic Valley Regional High School players: Logan Miller and Melanie Rundall.
The game with the Shepaug started fast. New Milford’s Jonathan DeRoberts scored after only 30 seconds, which was followed minutes later by a goal from Joshua Shook.

The 2-0 lead didn’t last long as Shepaug’s Jameson McTamney and captain Gunnar Ough scored.
The goal of the day came in the second period when Ough took the puck the length of the ice and scored a high-powered slap shot.
Back and forth, both teams played very hard and traded goals. The third period ended with a 4-4 tie.
An eight-minute sudden death overtime period was added, but neither side was able to find the back of the net.
The game ended officiallywith a score of 4-4.
The result moved New Milford’s season record to 4-12-3 and Shepaug stood at 10-7-2.

“It’s been a great season,” said center Simon Markow. “I wish I could’ve gotten a dunk in, but I’m so happy about these guys I’ve been playing with for four years. And I’m so happy with the new guys. I think the team’s gonna be great next year.”
Housatonic built a 15-point lead in the first quarter, fueled by momentum from a few slam dunks in front of the home crowd.
Anthony Labbadia said, “I’ll remember this game more than all the other ones.”
Labbadia led HVRHS in scoring with 22 points. Anthony Foley scored 18, Owen Riemer scored 9, Nick Crodelle scored 6, Simon Markow scored 5, Tyler Roberts scored 2 and Wes Allyn scored 2.
Foley made the All-Berkshire League 2nd team.
Allyn, who missed the season due to a knee injury, scored the first basket of the game — a ceremonial two-handed jam — before exiting the court. He said he expects to be fully recovered by the first week of April, just in time for baseball season.
Gilbert was led in scoring by Trevor Rich with 16 points on five 3-pointers. Noah Holmes scored 13, Avian Tejeda scored 10, Hayden Dileo scored 6, Jackson Decker scored 2, Logan Arthur scored 2, Jordan Higgins scored 2, Michael Rivera scored 2 and Channing Incillo scored 1.
