1) Boys Ice Hockey - Fairfield vs. Norwalk/McMahon
It was one of the greatest games Fairfield Hockey will ever play, if only because of one player. Will Capalbo's brother Charlie needed a bone marrow donor. Will interrupted his senior season in goal for the Mustangs to donate. In front of NBC cameras and a number of rowdy fans, Will pitched a shutout in his final game before donating his bone marrow.
