Black Horse Articles 2012-2013
I watched a coach have his team gather around a television that had been rolled into the gym. I was thinking, they're about to watch some game film, boy was I wrong! This coach pulls out the "Insanity" DVD. The issue, as I see is it is this, the head coach will let their team know how important any aspect of their program is by how much attention they give to it. Case in point, when a coach is going over an offense or defense, do you honestly believe they would pop in a DVD to show the team? I don't believe so, that coach would be teaching, interacting with their team. They would be encouraging cajoling doing things that coaches do.

With the season officially over, just wanted to get some random thoughts off my mind and maybe tie up some loose ends…
Zach Robins scored five goals as Mainland rallied from a two goal deficit to defeat Black Horse 6-5 in the JVB Title game played at Voorhees. Trailing 3-1, Mainland scored five unanswered goals to take a 6-3 lead, before Black Horse rallied back. Scott Veneziale and Nick Finocchiaro scored in the opening nine minutes to give Black Horse a 2-0 lead. Mainland got one back late in the period as Robins scored with Tim Vant getting the first of his three assists. Kevin Oneill scored at the five minute mark of the second period to give Black Horse a 3-1 advantage. Mainland then would score four goals in the next six minutes to capture a 5-3 lead after two. Robins would account for three of them and Frank Christy got the other.
Matt Cloud had three goals and Brian Miller added two as Team Briere defeated team Giroux 11-2 last night at Hollydell. The game was close after two periods but Team Briere blew the game open with six goals in the third period. Brandon Mead scored twice for Team Giroux. This year the league supplied jerseys and socks to each player. And Joe Walters supplied both teams with hoodies as well.
Max Ramos stopped everything Black Horse threw at him as Clearview won 2-0 and advanced to the finals and will face H/L/V. A bitter rivalry has grown throughout the year and the league assigned two of the top officials for the game and they did a good job in keeping the game in check. Clearview would score the lone goal of the first period as Kody Basile put home a rebound of a shot by Matt Bishop. Ramos stoned Nick Kilcourse on a breakaway moments later to keep the score 1-0.
We are leaving it up to you. Go to our Poll Questions page and help us select this year's Leadership Award which will be presented before the Junior-Senior Showcase. Two seniors from each Tier I team was selected by their coaches to be represented in letting the fans vote for their Leadership recipient. The voting will end on Tuesday, February 26th at midnight. Your final vote will determine who wins the Leadership Award.
Once again SJIceHockey.com is pleased to announce our annual award recipients. This year there seemed to be more balance throughout the league and with the playoffs upon us we could be in for a few surprises. Listed below are the 2012-2013 winners:
Nick Kilcourse, Collin Miller and John Kennedy scored third period goals as Black Horse came back to defeat EEW 4-2 in Tier II playoff action at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. The loss eliminated the EEW from playoff contention. The teams traded goals in the first period with Peter Laviolette scoring in the opening thirty seconds to give the EEW a 1-0 lead. Black Horse countered one minute later as Bryan Popiolek tied the game at 1-1.
Black Horse used a five goal second period to defeat Cinnaminson 6-1 and end the season for the Pirates. Leading just 1-0 after one period on a goal by Kody Reilly, his first of two on the night, Black Horse would go on to score four goals in a span of six minutes to break open the game.
Tyler Richardson scored twice as Clearview defeated Black Horse 5-2 in a Tier 2 playoff game at Voorhees on Friday night. Missing captain and team leader Mike Vulpio, Clearview needed everyone to step-up tonight and everyone contributed. Kody Basile put Clearview up 1-0 scoring a power play goal just five minutes into the game, with Ryan and Eric Lauk getting the assists. Black Horse would tie the game about five minutes later, scoring their goal on the power play as James Malseed got the goal with Nick Kilcourse and Brandon Graham getting the helpers.
