Rockland all stars would destroy westchester
Only if played at Sportorama, anywhere in Westchester, it would be the other way around.
Rockland would win even if they played on a frozen pond in Wisconsin
Ugh, do we need a map? I don’t care where the Fordham players live, their school is in the BRONX. They should not be included in this. Answer me this, if a kid lives in the Bronx, but plays for Iona Prep (located in New Rochelle) can he make the all star team in westchester? YES of course he can because his SCHOOL is in Westchester. Or maybe we should just make a public league all league and a CHSHL all league.
I have to admit that Rockland would destroy Westchester in a game.
Cant we leave well enough alone and let the kids enjoy this? Who cares about West vs Rock and CHSHL vs Sect 1?
All these kids are fantastic players…leave it at that.
the All-County teams are pretty much what I think everyone expected… congrats to all players
Congrats to ALL the kids – but in weighing in on the Rock vs. Westchester issue, just for fun, I mean come on – I think Rockland’s 3rd team can beat Westchester’s 1st team. Also, pretty sad that, with 6 League 1 teams, Westchester had to dive into a League 2 team to find their 1st Team goalie…
... nothing against Rye goalie whatsoever, he is WELL DESERVING of the 1st team… congrats!
what is the word on shuman and willows going to prep school next year??
I hear Willows is defintely going to Prep school… Shuman I don’t know about…if any1 knows any info, please post
Willows is out of North next year, 100%
and how mach sadder that to make a second team WC had to go to the CHSHL for a goalie….wow they’re bad
I hear rumors that Willows is going to Morristown Beard. He must have taken Mickey Carrol’s advice to go to a sub par hockey team. They are not even a boarding shool. Isn’t the father a coach at North? I hope this is not true. At least go somwhere to get scouted otherwise why not stay at North. All the top players to leave HS early over the past couple of years left after their junior year (Daniels twin, Foster,..) but at least they went to legit hockey programs. This does not look good for North.
where are the daniels twins going? i thought they did pretty well this year…they are at kent correct???
Willows’ dad is coach of the North Modified team, and for big games, sometimes an assistant with the Varsity team… North would love to have Willows & Shuman for one more year, then they would be right at the top with Suffern again…
and yes Daniels are at Kent Prep school in Connecticut… and they did well their first year from what I hear…
are they staying at Kent? or are they leaving like written above
could you imagine if daniels twins come back to suffern.. wow what a team
Morristown Beard is a real joke of a school. There hockey program is on the same level as public, and the school is worse than public. Willows is good, but way overated!
how could the Daniels twins possible come back, they are already repeating their jr. year, if thats the case, lots of far better players would come back to their high school teams.
Willows is a special player… the best since that Foster kid, no doubt…
i think im pritty good friends with willows. he is going to mo-beard for 1 year and then prob going to nsa. he wants to stay close to home for the first year then go away. and all of you people who say that they are not good are clueless. they would kill any one of the section 1 schools. get real.
Mo-Beard was one of the weakest teams last year in their league – GO LOOK IT UP! There are a least 4-5 teams that would have def beaten them easily out of section 1 last year. North played a tougher schedule then them and absolutely would have destroyed them. Why would he leave North which would have a legit shot at beating anyone next year – especially if willows stays. He must be scared of Suffern and loseing to them again.
Two words – Mickey Carrol. Willows is the better player but Trinity Pawling would beat Mo-Beard easily and the they absolutely play in the much tougher New England Prep league.
what does NSA stand for?
And yes if little Willows and Shuman stay at North next year, they would once again be a dominate team. You think they didnt come off the ice this year? – Wait till next year – if they stay. Not sure why they would leave North now when all other stars in the past have stayed till at least thru Junior Year – And now that their older brothers are gone, it’s their team.
no one cares about north. were will north get willows.( no were)... were will willows get north.( pritty far) i think he should get out of there asap especially with all the bs in the school itself. and nsa is national sports acadamy in lake placid
Ok NSA is def more legit. I do not think they will deny him admittance if he does not attend Mo-Beard. It is just very hard to grasp why he would leave North (and give up being the team leader and obvious choice for capt) and go to Jersey – there really is not much to gain. It’s just sad to see these players leave Section 1 which has become one of the top Section’s to play in NYS. Plus it would be be nice to see someone challenge Suffern next year.
I’m sure he wont regret it. Just ask Mickey Carroll who left North (one of the top teams in NYS), where he would have been one of the best players on the team to go play for one of the weakest teams in the New England Prep. Ohh and i heard he did not get nearly as much ice time as he once did at North. I’m sure he had fun watching his team lose. It will all be worth it once he makes it to the NHL.
yeah Willows will get into NSA – and I agree with you that he should stay one more year… even Foster stayed thru Junior Year… he would definetely be the Team Leader next year… its his team if he stayed… and yes, it would be fun to see someone challenge Suffern. Suffern would be the favorite, but with North still having Willows, they would sure be nervous…
... and yeah if Mickey Carroll stayed at North he would of had a phenomenal year… imagine him with the Willows & Shumans…North would of been that much better and had that much more depth… 2 great lines…perhaps even enough to win State… oh well…
If Its and buts were candy and nuts we would all have a Merry Christmas. The best of any the names mentioned can only hope for is a good education. If anybody thinks any of these players will ever make enough money playing hockey to even pay there O&R bill keep dreaming or start playing lotto the odds are more in there favor with lotto. Hopefully the choice of the prep school is about education. And in the end the way it works anyway is if a player has what it takes they will find you where ever you are playing. one knee injury and its over so get the education and by the the way all the prep school mentioned above in posts are all first class academics with great college placement so my guess is that whats important to these players, I hope so. I hope one of them prove me wrong with the money thing. ” Good Luck”
itsabreeze… from that comment i am going to assume you are having trouble paying your O&R bill.. what is important here is that these kids have goals, are working hard towards them.. whether they are to play in the NHL, juniors or just get into a good college or even just be all county… These life lessons will go much further than sitting in AP calculus class. This is a hockey blog not a careers or planning for the future blog.. and not that anyone cares I do have 2 masters degrees..so i am not saying education is not important
I was wondering who you guys thought were the top travel teams organizations in Section 1 are, and what high school they mostly feed to…
In Rockland – Ramapo Saints mostly feed to Suffern, do the Clarkstown Capitals feed just as well to North/South?
Thoughts? Opinions?
i know mcandoe plays for the saints.. so i really don’t think the capitals are feeding anyone special
Speaking just of the very local travel programs in the Tier III HVHL, the Capitals seem to have a bunch of Clarkstown South skaters. The Vipers have players from several southern Westchester schools (including Ossining, Rye, Mt Pleasant, Scarsdale). Many Mariner and LI Edge players skate in the CHSHL. Mamaroneck Youth hockey feeds Mamaroneck HS. The higher level (Tier 1) NY travel programs (Brewster, Apple Core, Royals, Gulls) draw from all over the place (Long Island, CT, NYC- all boroughs, NJ, Westchester, Rockland, etc.).
Holvig plays Caps with me…he ain’t too bad
Capitals seem to be more of a feeder for South rather than North… you still see North players on the Saints… but i know that there are a bunch of Squirts on the Capitals from the North area…
The Capitals feed North as well (and have had some very good players from North play on their teams)—and over the years have been a feeder for North more than South (with many very good Fordham Prep players on the upper level teams with the North kids) – this year their midget teams will have more players from North varsity (some who left the Saints ) than South varsity, plus some Suffern kids who have been with the Caps for years.
Most of North’s top players from the their recent 5-8 year good run have come from the Saints. Primarily because the Caps are a newer organization..however old the Palisades Mall is.
As the Caps have aged they are becoming a better feeder for the Clarkstown schools.
All county is nice…but in reference to an earlier post…sitting in AP Calculus WILL get you further in life than being All County.
Want proof….Just check out the Palisades Mall Mens League..plenty of former All County stars just lighting up this league.
that league is for fun and nothing else. have you ever herd of staying on the ice during the summer so when fall comes around your not totally out of it. when you play AAA national you could talk about it but besides that just keep it shut.
Best players in the section next season?
anyone from Stepinac JV who transfers to a Sec 1 team
Stepinac is nothing but a bunch of Losers. Stacks their JV teams to win. I predict that they will NEVER WIN THE CHSHL. A bunch of Whiners!
