The Eastern Connecticut Conference (also known as the ECC) serves high schools in Windham County and New London County.

History

[edit]

In 2015 the ECC was in danger of falling apart when seven schools applied to the NCCC conference. The four large schools, Ledyard, New London, Fitch and East Lyme announced that they would be leaving the ECC and forming a new conference named the Southeastern Connecticut Athletic Conference. During that same time five other schools, Bacon Academy, Waterford, Montville, Wheeler and Stonington applied to join the shoreline conference.[1] For Ice hockey, Fitch, Bacon Academy, East Lyme, Griswold, Hale Ray, Killingly, Ledyard, Montville, Norwich Free Academy, Stonington, Waterford & Wheeler make up the coop team of the Eastern CT Eagles.
