Division I will have a new face this year as former Division II power East Catholic has moved on up. With that addition, there was also a subtraction. Long time Division I competitor East Haven has moved down to Division II. This move was a long time coming as the Yellow Jackets have tried to move down in the past. With the exit of their dynamic top line of Mike Falanga, Tristan Goodwin and Matt Longobardi, the move made sense for the Easties. The co-op of Brookfield-Bethel-Danbury has moved from Division II to Division III after a tough (3-17-0) season. Also, RHAM is now a part of the BCR co-op leaving behind Rocky Hill and Middletown. Other slight changes include the Eastern CT Eagles adding about 15 schools to their co-op, Coginchaug joining the Lyman Hall-HK grouping and Wethersfield abandoning their independent title and joining Middletown and Rocky Hill. Stonington and Lyman Memorial have joined on with NFA-St. Bernard-Bacon as well. Here is what the divisions will look like this season according to the CIAC's release of the 2014-15
