Rob Heyl Newington-Berlin hockey players congratulate coach Dave Harackiewicz on his 200th win.
NEWINGTON - It's been a long journey for Newington-Berlin hockey coach Dave Harackiewicz. A journey, as it turns out, that has taken him all across the East Coast during his 27 years of coaching the sport he's loved since he was a kid.

I've been involved for many years and I will continue to do that until either I can't skate or I can't coach or I just lose the passion. But I don't see that happening in the near future."
Harackiewicz added the latest milestone to his coaching resume the night of Jan. 23, notching his 200th career win as a high school head coach in Connecticut.
