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 are pleased to announce the 2014-2015 award winners:
Paul Petrongolo scored three goals and Aiden Rogers stopped 25 shots as St Joe’s defeated Cinnaminson 6-3 in the double elimination tournament for the SJHSHL. Nick Corwonski scored the lone goal of the first period as St Joe’s capitalized on a two man advantage. Early in the second period Trevor Rucci made it 2-0 with Alex Eberly and Patrick Powers getting the assists. Cinnaminson would get on the board taking advantage of the power play with Mike O’brien getting the goal to cut the lead to 2-1. Dylan Richardson would tie the game just eighteen seconds later and we stayed that way until late in the period when Petrongolo would get his first of the night to give St Joe’s a 3-2 lead heading into the final period.
Chris Cozzan from Washington Township had a hat trick and Sam Amon from EEW added two goals as Team Simmonds defeated Team Giroux 9-5 in the Junior-Senior Showcase game played before a packed house at the Skate Zone in Voorhees last night. Despite out-shooting Team Simmonds by 48-35, Team Giroux could not overcome the five goal first period. Before we were settled in our seats it was 3-0 in the first two minutes. Cozzan, playing on a line with teammate Brandon Balsama, who assisted on all three Cozzan goals, got things going on their first shift, Scott Veneziale, from Black Horse deflected a shot by Shawnee’s Alex Churchill and the lead was 2-0.
