Games to watch

St. Joseph at Fairfield (Wonderland), Wednesday, 6 p.m.: The Cadets have played a lot of good teams well this year, most recently tying No. 6 Simsbury on the road. Earlier this year in Shelton, they held Fairfield to within two goals.

Fairfield Prep at Mount Saint Charles (R.I.) (Adelard), Wednesday, 6 p.m.: You know how Notre Dame-West Haven coach Larry Vieira said he adopted the heavy out-of-state schedule from Fairfield Prep? Weeks like this are what he had in mind, when the Jesuits play three games in Rhode Island and Massachuse­tts, including this weekend’s Pope Francis Invitation­al in West Springfiel­d.

Sheehan at Lyman (Northford), Wednesday, p.m.: The Battle of Wallingfor­d was a 2-2 tie in mid-January when Sheehan had the last change. Both these teams, the Trojans especially, can use the points.

Hall 8:30 Milford at Wilton (Winter Garden), Wednesday, 8:30 p.m.:

It’s been a tough year for Milford, but its win came against Wilton in early January. It took a couple of more games for the Warriors, who sat out last season because of numbers, to catch their stride but they soon won four in a row. So this in its way is a bit of an interestin­g rematch.

Hand at Branford (Northford), Saturday, 7:30 p.m.: Two scrappy teams – between them, they’ve played 10 one-goal games – meet up.

Fairfield at New Canaan (Darien Ice), Monday, 7:10 p.m.: The two top-five teams played a tight one at Wonderland a couple of weeks ago, with an empty-netter giving Fairfield a 3-1 win.
