Members of the North Haven boys’ ice hockey team will take to the ice on Saturday, Jan. 28 with more than a win on their minds. The game versus West Haven at the Northford Ice Pavilion will also serve as a benefit for the family of Alan B. Tancreti, Jr., who passed away suddenly this past October.

Born and raised in North Haven, Tancreti was a North Haven High School (NHHS) alumnus, hockey player, and coach. Tancreti was also a former North Haven Middle School history teacher and Newington police officer.

All proceeds from the game vs. West Haven will benefit the Tancreti family and Alan’s three children: Alan III, Catie, and Julia.

Alan III and Catie are both North Haven High School alumni, and Julia is currently a freshman at the school. Alan III is a four-year North Haven hockey player and former captain.

There will be a short program before the game highlighting Tancreti’s dedication to the North Haven High School hockey program and North Haven student-athletes.

Face-off is set for 7:30 p.m.
