Cortlandt Manor Native Contributes to Wesleyan's Ice Hockey Little Three Title

This is the first time the team has won a title since the 1986-87 season.

From Wesleyan University: Chad Malinowski of Cortlandt Manor (former student of Hackley School) is a member of Wesleyan's men's ice hockey team that just won the Little Three Title on Feb. 17-the first time the team has won a title since the 1986-87 season. And for the first time in the history of Wesleyan athletics, the football, men's basketball and men's hockey teams all won the Little Three title in the same academic year. Wesleyan, Amherst and Williams first formally banded together in 1899 as the Triangular League. Since 1910, the teams have annually competed in the Little Three intercollegiate athletic conference.
