I understand why Holy Cross was not entered into the Flyers Cup, but why isn't Moorestown? They are, afterall, the SJHSIHL Champions.

And what a game last night. Besides a few questionable officiating calls you can't really ask for more in a championship game, eh?

Moorestown senior forward does not attend Moorestown High School with his team-mates, he attends Moorestown Friends. And according to the Flyers Cup eligibility requirements, all rostered players must attend the nominated school. Its unfortunate because I think if eligible they would have been a #4 seed and would have made some noise in the tournament. As for the game, Holy Cross gave them everything they had and should be applauded for their effort. While there may have been a few calls you did not agree with, the officials did not influence the outcome of the game.

Congratulations to a very talented and spirited Holy Cross squad. It was a excellent example of the quality of high school hockey in South Jersey. Coach Holland did a wonderful job down the stretch matching shift for shift, period for period and game by game in the later part of the season. As did Coach Sullivan at Cherokee.

Moorestown’s non participation in Flyers Cup ( Eastern PA HS Championship ) is due as Mike claims to the one varsity player that attends the alternate High School in Moorestown. Another major factor is that HS Lacrosse is huge in Moorestown and many of our players participate at the varsity level and are ineligible for club sports as of March 5^th.

Last year we were very close to not participating but decided it was a great opportunity to play freshman and JV Players to get them a better understanding of the speed at the Varsity level and it paid off.

A very big congratulations to the Moorestown Seniors for repeating as champions. The hardest thing to do in sports is to win when you are expected to win and to repeat is even greater. Nice job boys.

Food for thought would be a split Tier I Division next year. Putting the big schools together and creating a full season of games like last night and giving the smaller schools a chance to participate at a competitive level.
