When Ridgefield High School hockey senior Michael Conciatore broke his femur during the last preseason practice, he suffered a painful, season-ending loss. However, he bounced back to become the team’s announcer during the live streams of games.
With limited in-person attendance because of COVID, parents, grandparents, alumni, and the RHS Tigers Hockey community could tune in to hear “Conch’s” professional play-by-play.
NBC's local news affiliate took notice and produced this segment on his remarkable resiliency. Athletic Director Dane Street speaks to how COVID helped speed up RHS’s dream to add video production and streaming to the department.
