Due to a ruling by the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC), games may not start prior to Feb. 8, teams will be limited to a maximum of 12 games, teams may not schedule more than two games per week and there will be no state tournament competition.

Girls and boys basketball are first out of the blocks, with opening games scheduled Feb. 9. Boys swimming begins Feb. 10, girls ice hockey on Feb. 12, boys ice hockey on Feb. 13 and gymnastics on Feb. 17.
