Winter Team State Championship History: Greater Hartford Schools

GREATER HARTFORD, CT — As practices for Connecticut high school winter sports officially get underway Monday (girls basketball, ice hockey and wrestling) and Thursday (boys basketball, indoor track, boys swimming and girls gymnastics), hopes run high for all teams to achieve the ultimate goal: winning a league championship, and possibly a state title.

To help squads get into the championship mentality, here is a listing of the 50 CIAC winter team titles won by Hartford-based high schools in past years, including the now-defunct South Catholic High School . Also included are Bloomfield High School's 29 winter team titles, five captured by East Hartford High School and one by the former Penney High School (* - indicates a co-op team).
