The defending Division II champion Amity boys' hockey team has had an up and down regular season. But Wednesday's win over SCC Division I rival North Haven is a good indication the Spartans are on the verge of peaking just in time for another big post-season run.
Joey Ciancola scored with 24 seconds left in the third period to lead Amity to a 4-3 win over North Haven.
The Spartans are 3-1 against Division I teams this season and will close the regular season with one more Division I opponent - against Xavier on March 3 at Wesleyan Rink.
In girls' hockey, Guilford took no prisoners at Hamden on Wednesday in a game that had regular-season CCGHL title implications. Goalie Alyssa Zarillo had 23 saves to lead the Indians to a 5-0 win over Hamden. Guilford ends up 10-2 in the CCGHL. Simsbury defeated CCGHL rival Hand 4-2 on Wednesday and ends up tied with Guilford for the league title with an identical 10-2 record.
