It was a night where being short-handed paid off for East, as they scored 3 short-handed goals as well. Eric Simone put East ahead 1-0 late in the first period as he scored with Clearview on the power play. Later on the same penalty Clearview got the equalizer as Rob Savastano tied the game at 1-1.

Bob Campbell had three goals and Eric Mitchell and Alex Stewart added two goals each as Clearview recorded their first win of the season beating Delran 8-6 ah Hollydell. Delran, led by Jesse Gimbel with a hat trick is still winless as well, jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but Clearview bounced back. Having watched a fair amount of Clearview games, despite being winless, the effort has been there and we haven’t sensed any disruption, although I’m sure there was frustration. The last regular season win was January 2009 against Township.
