High School Ice Hockey: Wednesday, March 7, 2007 By Mike Costantino After month's embarrassment at Voorhees between Clearview and Cherokee, I started thinking about what would be the best course of action to penalize a player, especially a senior, who participates/initiates in a fight during any game, not just a playoff game. Now over the years the league has addressed fighting and the penalty has increased to a 5 game suspension and a $250 fine to the team. We spoke to a few coaches and they are thinking of asking for $250 from a senior prior to the playoffs begins and if you don't put it up you don't play. Well while I do agree with the idea, most parents probably will not, mainly for financial reasons as most of the kids play on travel teams, juniors or whatever and the cost is already huge. |

Ice Hockey Spotlight: Friday, March 2, 2007 By Brian Smith Rookie Denis Tolpeko scored twice to lead the Philadelphia Phantoms to a 4-2 win over the Binghamton Senators at the Wachovia Spectrum. Matt Ellison and Mark Cullen also scored for the Phantoms, who earned their sixth straight win of the season over Binghamton and pulled within eight points of the final playoff spot in the East Division. It took less than 30 seconds for the Phantoms to get on the board. Ellison carried the puck into the zone from the left wing side and crossed into the slot. He was stickchekced of the puck, but it bounced off a few skates and came back to Ellison in the right-wing circle.

High School Ice Hockey: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 By Mike Costantino It's only fitting that the top two teams from the regular season will meet in the championship round, with a huge advantage to Township.

|
Monday, February 26, 2007 By Mike Costantino Shawnee rallied from a 3-1 deficit scoring four power play goals and defeated Cherokee 5-4 and advanced to the championship round against Washington Township.

About three minutes later Justin Kinniry's slap shot beat Paul Gray to the short side and Cherokee led 2-0 and was dominating in shots at 14-2. Shawnee finally got some offense on the power play as Connor Dragone deposited a rebound of a point shot by Christian Ayres with just over five minutes left in the period.

Wednesday, February 21, 2007 By Mike Costantino Today we should be talking about how Clearview fell behind 4-0 after one period and was out-shot 20-6, but rallied to within 4-3, only to lose 5-3 to Cherokee and thus ending their season. Instead we are left with a scene of players trying to fight, parents and coaches on the ice to try and restore order and more ammunition to the school decision makers as to why high school hockey in South Jersey will never be sanctioned. For the most part the game was clean and well officiated, and the outcome was in doubt until Frank Garvey was credited with a goal as he skated towards the empty net, but was dragged down from behind. That goal iced the game at 5-3 with twenty five seconds left. |

In a game that had as much drama as you could ask for, as Township score the tying goal with eleven seconds left in regulation to force overtime and then controlled both overtime periods after snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Both teams started out tentative as no one wanted to make the first mistake, Shawnee had the most opportunities as Township was called for the first four penalties of the game.

Eric Meloche earned first-star honors with the game-winning goal. After a scoreless first period, Rochester opened the scoring 5:30 into the middle frame. Anthony Stewart came in on a two-on-one with Clarke MacArthur, and Stewart finished it off with a top-shelf wrister to give the Amerks a 1-0 lead. But the Phantoms responded with two quick goals. First it was Darren Reid taking advantage of an opportune rebound at the 8:21 mark. Reid centered the puck from behind the net and continued around to the left while Denis Tolpeko fired a shot. Goaltender Craig Anderson stopped the offering, but the rebound to the left side intersected Reid's path and he fired it home. |

Ice Hockey Spotlight: Thursday, February 1, 2007 By Brian Smith The American Hockey League announced today that Phantoms captain John Slaney is the recipient of the CCM/AHL Milestone of the Month Award for the month of January. On Jan. 21, Slaney became the first defenseman in the 71-year history of the American Hockey League to reach 500 points in his AHL career when he picked up an assist in a game against the Norfolk Admirals. The historic point came on a power play with 7:47 remaining in the second period when Slaney helped set up a goal by Stefan Ruzicka. Slaney played the puck behind the net for Mark Cullen, who found Ruzicka in the high slot. Ruzicka snapped home his second of the night past goaltender Patrick Lalime to give the Phantoms a 3-2 lead. |

Monday, January 29, 2007 By Mike Costantino Matt McDonald had three goals and an assist and fellow sophomores Joe Pezzato and Ryan Welsey also scored as Shawnee flew past Cherry Hill East 8-1 in the regular season finale for both teams. All three have been in the top ten in scoring and with McDonald's four point evening he will just edge out Washington Township's Colin Davis for the overall scoring leader. At the beginning of the season this looked to be a rebuilding year for Shawnee as they skate 17 underclassmen, but the emergence of these sophomores along with the outstanding performance turned in by goalie Paul Gray led them to a 16-1-1 record, and the top seed and favorite in the double elimination tournament. |

Monday, January 29, 2007 By Mike Costantino Washington Township scored three goals in the first six minutes of the game as they defeated Eastern 8-4 at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Needing more players to step up and fill in until the return of seniors Cameron Rowand and David Moore, Township had six different player score goals, led by freshman Jared Emmet with a hat trick. Township converted on the power play as Emmet had an empty net after a perfect cross-ice pass from Colin Davis had drew over the goaltender. Marc Remini and Christian Fleagle added goals forty one seconds apart and suddenly it was 3-0. Eastern got on the board as Jon Hayes banked the puck off the skate of Township goalie Chris Rainey to cut the lead to 3-1, but a late goal by Jonathon Paulo restored the three goal lead at 4-1. |

Friday, January 26, 2007 By Mike Costantino In a game that played like a playoff game, Washington Township came back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Williamstown 4-3. With the regular season winding down and Shawnee with a three point lead, Township must win their last two games and hope for some help. Williamstown scored the only two goals of the first period as Tim Larkin scored on a break and Doug Akin deflected a point shot by Mike Lamplugh. Township got on the board early in the second period as Christian Fleagle was set-up by Colin Davis in the slot and suddenly it was 2-1. Williamstown had an opportunity to increase the lead on the power play, but Davis stole the puck and after beating the defenseman, dragged the puck and lifted it top shelf to tie the game at 2-2. |

Ice Hockey Spotlight: Saturday, January 20, 2007 By Mike Thornton Brian Roberts' layup with 27 seconds left was the difference as the Nyack College Warriors pulled out a 60-59 victory over the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference men's basketball game at the Bobby Morgan Arena in Philadelphia.

Dundas paced the Devils with four rebounds. |

Friday, January 19, 2007 By Mike Costantino Torin Lawson scored with two seconds left in the game as Eastern upset Moorestown 5-4 in Tier 1 action played at Hollydell. The win was only the third for the Vikings, who have struggled the last few years after having been one of the top teams since the late 1990's. Tonight was a glimpse of the past as great goaltending and hustle, a trait of Vikings team past, was the key to their upset over Moorestown. Eastern goalie Evan Cohen, despite goals against over six, played outstanding and was the main reason his team was in position to steal the game. After a scoreless first period, Cameron Dougherty put the Vikings up 1-0, Moorestown would score two goals in a span of eight seconds, both in a four-on-four situation, to take a 2-1 lead as Alec Miller and Ben Doganiero got the goals. |
|
Friday, January 19, 2007 By Mike Costantino Tim Larkin and Justin Osterdahl scored two goals each as Williamstown defeated Clearview 6-3 on Friday night at Hollydell. Larkin and Osterdahl scored power play goals in the opening period sandwiched around an even strength goal by Jim Roescher to open up a 3-0 lead. After Osterdahl's second goal early in the second period Williamstown led 4-0, and seemingly in control. Clearview had two golden opportunities to climb back into the contest with consecutive two-man advantages, but could not capitalize on either chance, as their power play went powerless. |

Ice Hockey Spotlight: Friday, January 19, 2007 By Mike Thornton Jeff Tambellini scored in regulation and then tallied the only goal in the shootout to lift the Bridgeport Sound Tigers to a 3-2 shootout win over the Philadelphia Phantoms on Friday night before 8,556 at the Wachovia Spectrum. For the second consecutive game, Eric Meloche opened the scoring. He carried the puck down the left wing on a three-on-two rush and cut in along the goal line before flicking a wrister that Wade Dubielewicz stopped. Meloche collected the rebound and swept behind the net, then came out on the other side and jammed a backhander through Dubielewicz's pads for the unassisted goal at 15:09. |

Ice Hockey Spotlight: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 By Mike Thornton Phantoms goaltender Scott Munroe had a pretty ordinary night going through the first two periods of Wednesday night's game between the Philadelphia Phantoms and Binghamton Senators at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena. The third period, however, changed everything. Munroe set a franchise record with 28 saves in the third period and tied an 11-year-old franchise record with 47 saves overall to backstop the Phantoms to a 3-2 win over the Senators. Niko Dimitrakos provided the game-tying and game-winning tallies, while Eric Meloche also scored for the Phantoms, who finished up a four-game road swing with the victory. |
|
Monday, January 15, 2007 By Mike Costantino Kyle Manny and Justin Kinniry scored three goals each and Tom Paradise added two goals and two assists as Cherokee flew past Eastern 11-1 in action played at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Having been a successful organization over the years the Vikings have struggled these last few years and instead of battling for the top spot, they find themselves near the bottom of the standings, and probably in Tier 2 next season. Thanks to the mercy rule, where a team with a 10 goal lead will be declared the winner, the game was stopped early in the third period when Ryan Thompson scored the eleventh goal. Torin Lawson scored the lone Viking goal. Kevin McMahon also scored twice for Cherokee. |

Ice Hockey Spotlight: Friday, January 12, 2007 By Mike Thornton The Phantoms fought to the final buzzer on Friday night but ended up falling victim to an unlucky bounce in a 5-3 loss to the Lowell Devils at Tsongas Arena. David Clarkson finished the night with four goals for the home team, while three different players provided the scoring for Philadelphia. Lowell jumped out to a 2-0 lead on one goal each in the first and second periods. Clarkson started his night off with a power play tally at 12:20 of the first period when he pushed home a puck that Phantoms netminder Martin Houle had nearly covered up. Then in the second frame, Clarkson scored again at the 12:06 mark. |

Monday, January 8, 2007 By Mike Costantino Jared Emmet scored two goals and Colin Davis added a goal and two assists as Washington Township defeated Moorestown 4-1. The loss was the fourth in the last five games for Moorestown. Emmet scored both goals in the first period, and they came nineteen seconds apart, both times Davis drew the defense over and that created some space for Emmet, who took advantage of his opportunities. With Township on the power play late in the second period, Davis used his speed to get around the defense and his goal made it 3-0. |
|
Monday, January 8, 2007 By Mike Costantino Matt Buonadonna scored four goals and Matt Owens and Joe Sauer added two goals each as Black Horse defeated Delran 10-7 in Tier 2 action played at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. The first period was all offense and not much defense as the teams combined to score 9 goals. Buonadonna and Sauer both score just over two minutes into the game, and they were looking for more as they went on the power play, but a breakaway goal by Tyler Leary cut the lead to 2-1. Buonadonna got that goal back as he out-hustled the Delran defense to a loose puck and his quick wrist shot made it 3-1. |

Ice Hockey Spotlight: Monday, January 8, 2007 By Mike Thornton Three different Grand Rapids players scored in the middle period to lift the Griffins to an eventual 3-2 win over the Phantoms on Monday night at the Wachovia Spectrum. Darren Reid continued his hot play, scoring for the third consecutive game and picking up his fifth goal in that span. The game was nearly at its halfway point before either team netted a goal, and it was Grand Rapids finally striking first at 8:42 of the second period. Danny Syvret fired a shot from the right side point that Scott Munroe stopped, but the rebound went right to the stick of Ryan Keller. Keller fired it into an open net for the 1-0 lead.

Black Horse skate with only eight players and rallied in the third period, but just ran out of gas. DeSimone scored the only goal of the first period as he hustled on a loose puck in the slot and beat the goalie to the puck and had an empty net to deposit the puck. Joe Sauer tied the game early in the second period for Black Horse scoring the first of his two goals, but West Deptford scored two goals over the next five minutes, one on a blast by JT Flood to take a 3-1 lead. Sauer cut the lead to 3-2, but DeCeasar put West Deptford ahead 4-2 scoring the first of his two goals. |

Phantoms captain John Slaney, a former Penguin, notched three assists in Philadelphia's third victory in its last four games. Thanks in large part to starting goaltenders Scott Munroe and Jeff Deslauriers, the fourth meeting of the season between the intrastate rivals stayed scoreless in the first. The Phantoms had some quality efforts, including a 1-1 with Philadelphia's Triston Grant alone at the top of the crease, only to be denied by the glove hand of Deslauriers. |

High School Ice Hockey: Wednesday, December 13, 2006 By Mike Costantino Back in the fall of 1998 a few people were starting a web site dedicated to high school and youth athletics, mainly in South Jersey. Initially I gravitated right to football, but after a few games I realized everyone covers high school football. Our editor mentioned that high school ice hockey had little or no coverage, and I immediately said that's for me. Now over the years there has been plenty of excitement and usually a decent amount of fans. Now you always get your big crowds for the neighborhood rivalries, Clearview-Township, Cherry Hill East - Cherry Hill West, etc. But in the last few years attendance has noticeably dropped off, and I really can't figure this out. Is it because of the times? |

Monday, December 11, 2006 By Mike Costantino Shawnee goalie Paul Gray used every part of his body, including three great glove saves as Shawnee handed Washington Township their first loss of the season 2-1 in a playoff-like game played at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Township's lone goal came early in the game on the power play as Christian Fleagle converted a pass from TJ DiSpaldo. Despite scoring just one goal, Township launched 40 shots after the early goal but could not solve Gray. It wasn't for lack of trying. Meantime Shawnee was not generating much offense as the only had 5 shots in the opening period and just four in the second period. Township has five of the top eight scoring leaders in the league and they each had at least two good opportunities each to score but Gray stoned them each time. |
|
Monday, December 11, 2006 By Mike Costantino Dan Folkman scored three goals and assisted on two others to lead Cherry Hill East to a 6-3 win over Eastern.

The game was back and forth as Davis put Township up 1-0, but Mat Maugeri on a nice pass from Frank Garvey tied the game at 1-1.
