 Season Recap

The 1993-1994 Sheehan Hockey team finished the season with a 12-5-3 record, the best in school history (since broken). Under the leadership of tri-captains Brian Graham, Mike Sims and leading scorer Joe Paul, the Titans went on to beat North Branford, Amity, Shelton and shut out cross-town rival Lyman Hall twice with the scores of 8-0 and 11-0. The stingy defense led by Anthony DiPalma, Brian Graham, Bob Saas, Dave Nielsen and senior goalies Vin DiGioia and Chris Nielsen went on to give up 47 goals in 20 games. Despite the loss of senior forward Paul Stairs for most of the season due to a broken leg, the Titans pumped in 112 goals with the help of Mike Sims, Anthony DiPalma, Jim Flynn, Kevin Sandals, Bob Marcus and  Chris Mendes. In doing so, they became one of the highest scoring teams in Titan history.Returning players Sean McMahon, Kevin Sandals, Anthony DiPalma, Dave Nielsen, Matt Cassello, Mike McCabe and Bill Florczyk will carry the almighty Titans to another great season.
