A very sad day for our New Canaan Football family as we lost one of the greats. Bo Hickey was a storied athlete out of Stamford and a legendary assistant coach for the Rams under Lou Marinelli for more than three decades. Words cannot describe how much he will be missed. #cthsfb.

RIP to an all-time great New Canaan Ram and a wonderful human being, Milton Word. Milt was a star RB on the 1965 State Championship team and still ranks as one of the top career rushers in NCHS history. Sending sincere condolences to the Word family.
