Down 4-2 with thirty six seconds left, Coach D’Amato still felt he had a chance to win as he has four or five skaters that he depends on and miraculously two guys came through as they rallied to beat St Joe’s in overtime 5-4 and win the SJHSHL Tier II B title at the Igloo. Sean Conard and Ryan McCormick each scored two goals to pace the offense. St Joe’s led 2-0 on goals by Dom Capella and Kevin Troy and with a chance on the power play to go up three goals, Conard picked off a pass and scored short-handed to cut the deficit to 2-1. Early in the second period Riverfront would tie the game on the power play as Daniel Taylor would deflect a shot by Conard.

Mike Moss broke a 2-2 game with ten minutes left in the game as Team Simmonds edged Team Giroux 3-2 in last night’s Junior/Senior Showcase game at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Having participated in the last few drafts Coach McKay has never won in this format, and while he wouldn’t admit that it bothered him, I got to believe that the success he has enjoyed over the last 8 years, not winning this game was probably bothering him to a degree. Trailing 2-0 on goals by Kevin Troy of St Joe’s and Zachary Faust of Black Horse, Team Simmonds would get a late goal in the period as Cody Charyk from Shawnee would score with Moss and Vinny Salerno getting the assists.
