The last time Pomfret played an official prep hockey game, it fell just short of its second New England championship in four seasons, dropping a 5-3 contest to the Frederick Gunn School in the 2020 NEPSAC Piatelli/Simmons final.
Although the team didn’t walk away with a trophy after impressive wins over St. Mark’s and Groton, it marked another successful season for the Matt Goethals-led group. It was their third showing in the Small School tournament since they won their first title — a 3-2 overtime win over Cushing — in 2017.
After no games in 2020-21, the Griffins are eager to embark on a full season with the goal of once again competing for a playoff spot in March.
