Riverfront Articles 2012-13
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?

With the season officially over, just wanted to get some random thoughts off my mind and maybe tie up some loose ends…
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.
Nick Taylor had two goals and Ian Martin made 29 saves as Riverfront defeated Mainland 5-2 to win the Tier III Title. Winning wire to wire like they did Riverfront led the division all season and went undefeated in the tournament. Mainland took a 1-0 lead just two minutes into the game as Paddy McFadden scored his first of the playoffs. Riverfront responded thirty seconds later as Taylor tied the score. Taylor would score late in the period to give Riverfront a 2-1 lead after one.
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:
Jeff Steinmann had a natural hat trick and Ian Martin stopped 39 shots as Riverfront defeated Mainland 7-2 in the double elimination tournament in Tier III. Mainland broke on top first as Carmine Morelli scored on the power play with less than five minutes left in the first period. Riverfront would respond as Steinmann scored two goals in twenty six seconds in the final three minutes to make it 2-1 after one. Early in the second period Steinmann completed his hat trick to give Riverfront a 3-1 lead just two minutes into the period. Goals by Mike McFadden and Matt Gajderowicz gave Riverfront a commanding 5-1 advantage after two.
Moorestown, H/L/V and Riverfront all enter the double elimination Tournament as the top seeds, however it’s not where you start but how you finish. Let’s take a look at each Tier:
