Frank Klimas
CONNECTICUT STATE BASKETBALL LEAGUE
1st Half: 4-4, .500, 6th place
2nd Half: 3-5, .375, T-6th place


New to the league, the Hartford Super 5 were a local semi-pro team that played various opponents around New England before joining the Connecticut State League. Things looked bright as they won three of their first four games, but lost four of their next five to finish the first half in sixth place.
They changed coaches and management in the second half, becoming the Dovers, but the change didn't change their luck as they finished in sixth place again.
