Clearview 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…
Austin Haslett scored twice, his second coming with less than two minutes remaining in the second overtime period as Washington Township JVA defeated Clearview JVA 4-3 and advance to the JVA Championship game. Township will meet Cherokee on Tuesday night at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. After neither team could score in the first period, Eric Benton put Township up 1-0 early in the second period. Clearview would commit back-to-back penalties to give Township a 2 man advantage and they would capitalize.
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 23 shots and goals by Eric Lauk and Matt Bishop were just enough as Clearview defeated H/L/V 2-1 to win the Tier II championship at Hollydell. After a scoreless first period Lauk, recently named Breakout Player of the Year, deflected a cross-ice pass from Norman Angel to give the View a 1-0 lead just two minutes into the second period. Bishop made it 2-0 at the nine minute mark as his shot along the ice, through a maze of players, found the net, John Garbarino getting the assist.
Eric Lauk had two goals and one assists as Clearview avoided elimination and defeated H/L/V 4-2 in Tier 2 playoff action at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. The two teams will meet again on Wednesday night at Hollydell to decide the champion. H/L/V took a 1-0 lead just ninety seconds into the game as Karl Houwen scored his first goal of the playoffs. Clearview tied the score at 1-1 scoring their first of three power play goals as Lauk put home a shot by Matt Bishop. Two minutes later Bishop would score on the power play with Lauk getting the helper and Clearview led 2-1 after one period.
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:
Doug Henkel stopped 32 shots and Sam Belanger scored two goals as H/L/V advanced to the Tier II finals with a 4-1 win over Clearview. Mike Cullen scored the only goal of the opening period as Clearview led 1-0. The second period was all H/L/V as they scored three goals, after Belanger tied the game at 1-1 at the five minute mark, Alex Mastrokyriakos gave H/L/V the lead for good just twelve seconds later to make it 2-1. Henkel would shut the door on the Clearview offense not allowing another goal in recording the win.
