SEYMOUR - Excitement was in the air Tuesday at Chatfield-LoPresti School when two members of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers' hockey team stopped by to read to students. 

The school held a three-month winter reading challenge and read more than 6,000 books, surpassing the goal of reading 5,500 books. The challenge ends Friday, Principal Dave Olechna said.

The top two readers in each classroom got a chance to play floor hockey with the pros.
