Eric Lauk had three goals and two assists as Clearview jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and held off a charging St Joe’s team 6-4 in cross-over action played at Hollydell on Friday night. Anthony Lovell had a hat trick for St Joe’s. Clearview started in the opening minute of the game as Mike Cullen scored a power play goal with Lauk getting the assist. The lead grew to 2-0 at the eight minute mark as Ryan Lauk broke in with his brother Eric, 2-on-1 and after Ryan hit the post, Eric was there to put home the rebound and a 2-0 lead. Less than three minutes later Eric made it 3-0, this time with Cullen getting the helper.
The list of the 2013 Junior/Senior Showcase nominees has been released and we have them. The game will be played either late February or early March with date, time and location details still being worked out. Here are the nominees for Team A:
Josh Handshaw scored with two minutes left in the game to snap a 5-5 game and give Mainland a 6-5 win over St Joe’s in a Tier III game played at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Leading 4-1 after the first period on goals from Matt Schenkov, Sean Bowman, Tim Vant and Jack Handshaw, Mainland would see that lead evaporate in the second period. St Joe’s would capitalize on two power play opportunities, first in the opening minute of the second period Paulie Petrongolo would cut the deficit to 4-2. Petrongolo would make it 4-3 scoring a short-handed goal and Nick Frangos would notch his second of the night on the power play late in the period.
Nick Frangos and Anthony Lovell scored two goals each and a strong third period helped St. Joe’s defeat Middle Township 6-1 in Tier III action at the Skate Zone in Voorhees. Paulie Petrongolo would score one and assist on four goals. Frangos scored the only goal of the opening period, scoring in the final minute. Lovell would score his two goals in a 27 second span early in the second period to give St. Joe’s a 3-0 lead. Middle Township would score a late goal on the power play, Kenny Weightman getting his fifth of the season in the final eight seconds to cut the lead to 3-1.
St Joe’s and the EEW played to a 3-3 tie on Monday night at the Skate Zone with Sam Amon scoring two goals for the EEW. St Joe’s led 2-1 after the first period on goals by Anthony Lovell and Alec Divenuto sandwiched around a goal by Amon. The EEW would score twice in the second period, first Peter Laviolette would score a power play goal and Amon would add his second with Nick Frangos getting the goal for St Joe’s. Both goalies would shut the door after that as Troy Altbaum for St Joe’s and Brian Mood for the EEW would not allow any more goals.
Former Williamstown goalie Troy Altbaum has found a home playing for St Joe’s of Hammonton as he shut out Lower Cape May 2-0 in action played at Hollydell on Friday night. With Williamstown not fielding a team this year, Altbaum hooked up with the team from Hammonton late in the pre-season and his experience in nets should help St Joe’s this season. Altbaum has started two games and has yet to surrender a goal.
