Each year, we are pleased with the league allowing us to recognize several players and a coach and their outstanding contributions they have made for their team. With at least two to three players considered for each category, we have finalized our decision. In the continuing tradition here at SJIceHockey we honor players we feel stood out during the regular season and here are the players we selected and are pleased to announce the 2016-2017 award winners:
Alec Miller stopped all 19 shots as Washington Township defeated Black Horse 4-0 in JVA Playoff action. Nick Shute scored the only goal Township would need just forty one seconds into the game. Anthony Lonasco scored a power play goal late in the period and after one it was 2-0. Ryan Andrews would score an early power play goal for the Minutemen as they capitalized on a penalty by Black Horse at the end of the first. Black Horse had two power play opportunities late in the period but Miller kept them off the board.
Matt Marzo scored four goals as Moorestown defeated Williamstown 7-2 in JVA action played at Skate Zone in Voorhees. After Dennis Campbell gave Williamstown a 1-0 lead at the eight minute mark, just over one minute later Sean Humes would tie the game at 1-1. Goals by Marzo and Ryler Radziemski less than two minutes apart late in the period gave the Quakes a 3-1 lead after one.
Cherokee Chiefs JVA team scored three goals in the third period, two coming in the final ninety seconds as they defeated Moorestown 3-1 in JVA action in Pennsauken on Sunday night. Moorestown scored the only goal of the first period as Kevin Hillman notched his fifth of the season to put the Quakes up 1-0.
