Clearview Pioneers 2010-2011
With another season come and gone, thought I’d reflect back on some issues we discussed at the end of last season and the beginning of this year. At the end of last season Cherokee was thinking of replacing head coach Mike Sullivan, but at the last minute decided not to make a change. And not only was it the right move, Cherokee went on to win the league championship and made the semi-finals of the Flyers Cup. As Mike would tell you, he’s got a good staff with Scott McKay and Steve Monaghan, and the kids bought into the system. There can’t be any grumblings from the board on this season, good job coaches!!

Brian Clegg netted a hat trick and Patrick Rizzo added two goals as Holy Cross defeated Clearview 5-3 and won the JVB Title in action played at Hollydell on Thursday night. Coming into the game Clearview had won the division and suffered only one loss all season, that to Holy Cross as well.
Cole Zucker recorded his second varsity hat trick, both during this playoff run, as Cherokee defeated Clearview 6-3 at the Skate Zone on Monday night and ended the season for the Pioneers. Cherokee moves on and will face Moorestown next Monday night at 7:10 at Voorhees. Cherokee wasted little time as they scored two goals in the first two minutes of the game. Jason Spieker opened the scoring with a blast from the right circle just one minute into the game. Just about one minute later Zucker broke in and after his shot was kicked aside, Pat Mohnacs was there to put home the rebound and before you could settle into your seat it was 2-0.
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 2010-2011 winners:
Eddie Sarin scored three goals and Ryan McCusker stopped 26 shots as Washington Township rallied to defeat Clearview 6-4 at the Skate Zone in Voorhees on Friday night. Township now moves on to the winner bracket final and will face Shawnee on Monday February 21st. The winner of that contest goes into the championship game. Sarin gave Township a 1-0 lead as he won a face-off in the offensive zone and after getting the puck back from Shane Moffatt, ripped home a shot from the top of the circle. Clearview came right back about one minute later as Bob Campbell put home a rebound of a shot by Josh Gonzalez and we were tied at 1-1.
Taylor Olson had a natural hat rick as Clearview beat Moorestown 3-2 in action played at the Skate Zone in Voorhees on Friday night. Alex Nicolai had both goals for Moorestown. Olson opened the scoring in the first two minutes of the game scoring an unassisted goal. Nicolai tied the score at 1-1 midway through the period with Eric Schwartz and Michael Katz getting the assists.
With the second season upon us the SJHSIHL begins it’s double elimination tournament on Monday so we thought we would break down to see exactly who is peaking and who is struggling. Let’s begin with the Eastern Vikings. Tough year for Mike Pontonio to come out of retirement having coached teams in the past to multiple championships, the Vikings did not win a game this season, but in speaking to Coach Pontonio it was not for lack of effort. Don’t see Eastern advancing.
In the third annual Junior-Senior Showcase game in the SJHSIHL held at the Skate Zone in Voorhees the North came back from a 3-0 deficit and beat the South 9-5. Vincent Tascione led the North with a goal and four assists and Tyler Pedersen added two goals. Jonathan Ruiz and Jared Hand led the South with two goals each. Tascione was voted the MVP for the game.
The SJHSIHL has released the roster for the Junior-Senior Showcase game to be played on Friday, January 28th at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Game time is 8:05PM. North Squad will be the home team and wear white and coached by Mike Sullivan of Cherokee. The South will be in the dark jerseys and coached by Mike Glick of Washington Township. We congratulate this year’s selection and look forward to another exciting contest. Here are the nominees for the North and South All-Stars...
Taylor Olson scored a natural hat trick and Bob Campbell broke a 3-3 tie in the games final two minutes as Clearview defeated Holy Cross 4-3 at Hollydell. Clearview never led until Campbell’s goal as Holly Cross played them tough throughout the game. Steven Petitte led Holy Cross with two goals. Holy Cross led 1-0 just six minutes into the game as Charles Quigley scored his sixth goal of the season. Olson tied the score at 1-1 later in the period.
