Cinnaminson Pirates 2008-2009
Matt Fields scored twice as Cinnaminson defeated Strath Haven 8-4 in the first round of Flyers Cup action at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. With a roster full of under-classmen, and with just one senior, these young Pirates continue their strong season and will now meet the 2nd seed West Chester Henderson on Wednesday at Iceline. After the teams traded goals in the opening period, Sean O’Brien for Strath Haven and Ryan Pottieger for the Pirates, Cinnaminson took control in the second period scoring four goals. Freshman Sean Gault put Cinnaminson ahead 2-1 early in the period and minutes later Nick Pidge found Derrick Yoder in the slot and his shot found the net and the lead was 3-1.

Frank Garvey scored four goals and Kyle Kopervas added two as Cherokee was all over Cinnaminson 9-2 in action played at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Cherokee will now play Moorestown as they are the two teams left in the winners’ bracket. The winner of that game will advance to the championship round. Cherokee wasted no time in taking control of the game as Garvey scored a power play goal three minutes in. Just about two minutes later, Garvey struck again, right up the middle as he dragged the puck on his stick and wristed a shot into the net for a 2-0 advantage.
Cinnaminson scored three goals in the third period and defeated Washington Township 6-4 and hand the Minutemen their first loss of the season. Township had jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and looked in control but Cinnaminson kept their composure, got stellar goaltending from Kevin Roth after the first period and kept chipping away. Roth struggled early as he seemed to be too far back in his net as Township scored three times in five minutes on goals by Jonathan Paulo, John Rey and a power play goal by Chris Lyons.
After allowing a two goal lead to evaporate, Cinnaminson got a breakaway goal by Sean Joyce in the final three minutes to defeat Williamstown 3-2 in a game played in Voorhees. James Roescher scored both Williamstown goals. Cinnaminson scored the only goal of the first period, on the power play as Eric McDowell converted a pass from Joyce from behind the net. The lead grew to 2-0 as Sean Gault converted once again with the man advantage for Cinnaminson just about two minutes into the second period.
Eric McDowell scored four times and Sean Joyce added two goals as Cinnaminson defeated Eastern 10-4 at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Leading 1-0 midway through the first, Eastern would tie the game at the five minute mark, but then would surrender six unanswered goals to fall behind at 7-1. Brendan Rematta started the onslaught scoring on the power play for a 2-1 lead after one period. Then two goals by McDowell and one by Justin Nugent had the lead to 5-1. Garrett McLaverty scored on a back-hander from the slot to make it 6-1 and McDowell’s fourth goal with less than four minutes left in the second period had Cinnaminson in control at 6-1.
Mike Schwer scored three goals including the game winner midway through the final period as Timber Creek edged Cinnaminson 6-5 in SJHSIHL action played in Voorhees on Monday night. Kevin Rafferty scored the only goal of the first period to give Cinnaminson a 1-0 lead after one. But Timber Creek responded with a five goal second period, scoring two power play goals and a short-handed goal. After Tom Szabo tied the game fourteen seconds in, Mark Lamberto and Szabo scored power play goals twenty-six seconds apart to give Timber Creek a 3-1 lead.
Frank Garvey scored two goals seconds apart to fuel a five goal third period as Cherokee pulled away from Cinnaminson 7-2. Leading just 2-1 entering the third period, Cinnaminson was still in the game thanks to the stellar play in goal by Kevin Roth, who only surrendered goals to Jake Ahle and Pat Mohanics despite facing 30 shots. Justin Nugent had the lone Cinnaminson goal who managed just 11 shots through two periods.
Here is a recap of games played and posted during the week of October 6th, ones we were unable to attend: Lenape scored four goals in the first period in defeating Delran 6-1 at the Pennsauken Skate Zone. Gus Propper led the attack scoring two goals and Ryan Phillips, Brian Nixon, Tommy Burns and Scott Siracusano also found the net to keep Lenape undefeated. Sean Wojciechowski scored the lone Delran goal. Delran goalie Max Holz stopped 17 shots in keeping his goals against average at 1.00.
