Cancelled games

February
13

According to the Section 1 site, the games at Brewster Ice Arena (Kennedy/PV-Fox Lane and Yorktown-Mahopac) have been cancelled. Someone else just posted that Byram Hills-E/T/B was cancelled, but I haven’t verified that yet. That leaves just two games, Scarsdale-Rye Town/Harrison and Suffern-Rye, both of which I previewed in the previous post.

If anyone has any scheduling updates or thoughts on tonight’s games, please post them here. Otherwise I’ll be back after Suffern-Rye.

  1. Scheduling?

    Today’s Journal News indicated that the Rye/Suffern game is at 7:45, and the RTH/Scarsdale game is at 8:30 both at Playland, thought there was only one rink, and a half of sheet there?

  2. fanotgame

    Wednesday 7:45 PM at Playland is Rye’s standard home slot. ETB usually skates a practice afterwards, starting at 10 PM. Maybe ETB gave the ice back as they were scheduled to play a game elsewhere today. I guess its possible RTH picked up the slot and schedulaed a game starting at 10 PM. Sounds like a men’s league time slot, though.

  3. scarzzzz

    the scarsdale ryetown/harrison game is at new rock

  4. Brophy Fan

    Go Rye. Go Rye Town. All games at Brewster should be cancelled. The ice there is the WORST in the tri-state area. Neither rink has any lines left. Players and fans cannot even tell when the puck is on sides or off sides!!! Additionally, the parents/fans at Brewster are a disgrace.

  5. brewster

    however they have a great restaurant, with really good buffalo chicken wraps, always great after a hard fought game

  6. hmmm

    any predictions for the suffern/rye game? i know there are predictions on the last post but we can make more here.

    i think that suffern will get revenge on rye for almost beating them. i see suffern running away with this victory big 5-0

  7. Predictor

    Rye keeps it close early. Suffern wins 4-1 is my guess. I will be in total shock if Rye can give them a tough game again.

  8. rink rats

    Any score updates in Rye suffern?

  9. Suffern/Rye

    1-0 Suffern after one

  10. Juniors

    update? suffern rye?

  11. Suffern/Rye

    2-1 Suffern after two

  12. rink rats

    I don’t want to see a tie again. Does Rye have it in them to beat them? Sure would be a nice confidence booster going in to the playoffs.

  13. Clyde frazzer

    Suffern lookin past Rye to Monroe?

  14. Suffern/Rye

    im a suffern fan but i like rye and like eck and think he should be a legitimate contender for westchester mvp but, the officiating through the first two periods has been horrendous. rye has had 5 power plays to sufferns one. and suffern only got that one after rye kicked in their goal (yet somehow the goal was unassisted) and then they gave suffern a PP.
    not a knock on rye, but a knock on the westchester officiating. in rockland, nothing was called in the mamaroneck-suffern game, but tonight, if suffern looks at rye the wrong way, theyre in the box

  15. Rye

    Rye 2 Suffern 2 in the third

  16. looking past

    Suffern looking past Rye to Monroe?

  17. Suffern/Rye

    3-2 Suffern, 4 min left

  18. Old School Mountie

    Any updates on the Suffern/Rye game? Go Mounties!

  19. Give Me A Break

    Suffern/Rye,

    So let’s get this straight. You’re a suffern fan and the score is 3 to 2 with 4 minutes to go and the thing that you are interested in is talking about Eck for MVP. I don’t believe it, I think you’re just one of those frustrated Rye Parents politicing for their son. Again! and Again..

    Give me a Break!

  20. Sufffern wins

    3-2 final Suffern

  21. rink rats

    Suffern is not looking past anyone. They obviously knew Rye was a good team, and tied them earlier. Everyone keeps saying that Suffern looks sluggish when they don’t dominate opponents. Maybe you are just selling mamaroneck and rye short.

  22. orrrr....

    or maybe suffern just hasnt played well, yet are still winning, but when they go upstate, they play well, so imagine when they play well how close the games would be

    orrr,

    Suffern can’t dominate Mamk or rye because mamk and rye are just as good as them. Nobody knows how good the upstate teams are because mamk and rye play different upstate teams, but guess what? mamk and Rye also played great against the upstate teams. I know it is hard for you to admit it, but Mamk and Rye are right there with suffern, . Hey, maybe suffern wins the section… but it would not be a shock if Mamaroneck beats Suffern. Nobody would be shocked, especially anyone who was at the last Mamk suffern game.

  25. goal judge

    wow suffern won despite the “westchester officiating”...just worry about your soap box and lobbying for eck

  26. agree with gimme a break

    Yes no question. Rye parents are determined!

  27. orrrr....

    thats a pretty harsh drop from “4” to “12” huh?

  28. score means nothing

    Does not matter if you win by 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 as long as you win. Almost is for losers

  29. Suffern/Rye

    im actually a suffern fan. but ive seen eck do more valuable damage than connor, because when eck rolled, suffern didnt walk away with the W everytime like they did against Mamaroneck

  30. Get Real,

    Suffern/Rye,

    Again, You’re definitely a RYE parent. A suffern parent would NEVER diss Conner like you are. Maybe it’s because Rye looks at Conner as a THREAT! You guys never stop! Do you?

    ANd also, if you were at the game, there’s no way you could of jumped in your car. Took 95 to 287, 287 to the TZ Bridge, then drive to Suffern and get on your computer to Blog in 5 minutes after the game was over. Now if you lived by Playland, in Rye , then it was possible to get to your house in 5 minutes and start Blogging.

    Get Real, and stop trying to BS us, WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU”RE TRYING TO ACCOCOMPLISH! LOL

  31. orrrr....

    Nobody knows how good the upstate teams are because mamk and rye play different upstate teams

    in D1 of the best teams played

    Suffern played:
    Aquinas (ranked 5 on sportswriters, 4 on computer rankings)
    Greece (ranked 11 on computer rankings)
    Canton (ranked 11 on sportswriters)
    Liverpool (ranked 14 on computer rankings)

    Mamaroneck played:
    Shaker/Colonie (TWICE)- (ranked 35 on computer rankings)
    Auburn (ranked 28 on computer rankings)
    Guilderland (ranked 29 on computer rankings)

    no no no, WE know how good they are because we played the good ones

    Rye i respect because at least when they played DII teams, they were good, like sweet home and whitesboro

    so what if mamaroneck played whitesboro, it doesnt size them up. and they also played an uber-weak DII cortland team

    you cant even compare their schedules

  32. Comparing

    Rye is no Mamaroneck! You’re not even in the same league until you beat us. Beat RT/H and then maybe we can talk!

  33. xyz

    To Give Me A Break, and agree with gimme a break

    Why would anyone need to lobby for Eck as a hockey player ? He was State MVP in Class B football, will be playing that sport in college, and has already basically decided where he is going, and doesn’t need any more accolades.

    The fact that someone appreciates his talent immediately causes you to have a negative reaction and assume its a Rye parent ( in the middle of the 3rd period NO LESS ) ?

    By that logic if anyone anywhere praises a players skills are we to assume its a parent ?

  34. Suffern/Rye

    im home, getting updates

    as ive been posting ALL GAME from home, not just after

    i actually posted that between the 2nd and third, guess i drove all the way home after every goal to type and then drove back

    im getting updates and posting them

    im not a rye parent
    and youre obviously offended that someone besides rye knows how valuable eck is to his team.

    hands down (fingers up) more valuable than connor

  35. xyz

    Get Real,

    Invest in a Blackberry or something similar, you can do this from the rink…without driving home….your theory dont float pal

  36. to xyz

    That kids name comes up all the time. I guess because its unusual for a very good player say in the top 25 of the Section, to be mentioned in the #1 spot. There are maybe 10-15 forwards in Section 1 as good or better. Which means he is very good, MVP no way. His team finished fourth in league 1. Mamaroneck has three losses all season and finished second in league 1. Conner is in the top 5 in socring? where is the Rye kid? I think if you must try to force an MVP to Rye, even though they are a fourth place team, I would go with Rogers as he makes things happen and is physical, be he is not an MVP candidate either

  37. Mamaroneck Rules Rye

    Get Real is RIGHT! Conner Rules!

  38. Rye

    rye got off to a real slow start with their football state champs not having a preseason to get into hockey shape and find some chemistry, but once it all settled down, they have been the 3rd best team in the section. they have also played suffern better than anyone in the section. they scored just as many goals against suffern as mamaroneck has and gave up less.
    i dont think it matters how many points you accumulate, because when push comes to shove, what matters is what you do when youre playing the best team. and rye, lead by eck, has dont better than mamaroneck lead by connor against suffern.

  39. Rye vs. Suffern

    Great game altogether, Rye completely dominated the whole game except for a few short bursts by Suffern, Suffern did capatilize on their few chances. A couple of lucky bounces each way, a couple of missed penalties each way, overall the game reflected that two great teams battled out a great game.

  40. fanotgame

    Lets see how the playoffs go. Harold mentioned today that it is far too early to talk MVP. Eck was at his best at Football in November. Had very pedestrian sats in the regular season. Played so well in playoffs he was named player of the year for the state. Look for Jordan to make some big plays in the next few weeks. He was electric in the playoffs the last 2 seasons.

  41. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY!!

    Rye is still not on the same level as Mamaroneck and Suffern! Don’t make me laugh. By the way Conner had 4 goals against Mamaroneck, so at least try and give him a little credit.

    And also,Conner had a Great Empire games, how did Eck and rogers make out…..TIGERS rule…

  42. fanotgame

    Both teams should be proud of their seasons and a well played game tonite. Rye righted the ship after a slow start to their season. Suffern’s ship never went off course. Congrats to the Mounties on an undefeated league record. Finish off MW on Friday for an undefeated regular season. I hope the next time Rye sees Suffern is at the Aud parking lot in March.

  43. Rye vs. Suffern

    Rye should not be even considered in a class with the top 4 league one teams, Its Suffern/Mamaroneck at the top, with RTH and Pelham on the doorstep, Rye is far away. BTW
    RTH-5 Scarsdale-2

  44. follow the finger

    great game at playland

    Suffern and Rye played a tight game, only weakness in the game seemed to be the officiating. I dont want to take anything away from either team, but is there anybody that can do something about these officials? I would hate to see a playoff game blown by bad refs.

    lots of blown calls in both directions

    Suffern was called for a lot of bad penalties, not saying they were all bad calls, but some were.
    Rye was also called for a “make up call” that allowed a very very strong suffern power play to score.
    Rye’s first goal was obviously kicked in, i bet the players would admit it also.
    It looked like on Suffern’s 3rd goal, a Rye player was being held behind the net, not sure if it would have changed anything, but was no call.
    All around poor officiating, let it get a little out of hand at the very end, and i hope i dont see them again in the playoffs.

    Anyway good game to both teams, they played hard.

  45. follow the finger

    also wanted to add congrats to suffern on undefeated L1

  46. Rye vs. Suffern

    Why would someone be dumb enough to write under the name I used and say things against Rye? One top of that you clearly you have no clue what you are talking about as Rye is definately the third best team after Suffern and Mamaroneck right now and when it comes down to it, right now is when it matters, the playoffs are esentially the whole season. The 7-5 win by Rye against Pelham is a little taste of what will happen in the sectional finals.

  47. go to the tape

    How can the referree in the Suffern Rye game not know that this year they are playing by Federation Rules and not NCAA? On the kicked in goal by Eck the referree cited NCAA rules to Natoli. I can see a ref missing a call, but at least know what rules your playing by. Is that too much to ask?

  48. Stats

    To NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAY!!

    Ok, so please enlighten us with the statement you made, and I quote:

    “By the way Conner had 4 goals against Mamaroneck”

    Does your team pad your stats with those 4 goals ?

  49. SuffernDukeFan

    Not a bad night for the Blue Devils and the Mounties, eh Harold? Btw, Rye played a very good game, Suffern has played better games than they did tonight, Rye has two really outstanding forwards, and a pretty solid DMan and their goalie played well BUT ONE penalty for the much more physical team, Rye? And Suffern gets what 4 or 5 mickey mouse interference penalties when the puck is where the contact was made? One penalty? Kicked in goals allowed because of rules that don’t apply to NYS HS hockey? Whatever. A win is a win, and Rye and Mamaroneck both played us very well. Kudos to both teams. I have a feeling Rye will go far in Div 2, and Mamaroneck or Suffern will do well in Div 1. I didn’t realize there was such a difference in refs from one county to the next though i read about it on this blog. Very poor control of game but luckily it didn’t detract from the very good HS hockey game. If anything, it showed the team’s heart by pulling out the game at the end knowing they had to watch the refs as well as a very good Rye team. Btw, the player wasn’t holding the other player on the third goal by Suffern, the two players face masks locked believe it or not! So as they were stuck, another Suffern player took the puck and slipped it by the goalie. And when people say that Mam or Suffern or Rye are better than one another, they are all very good teams who can beat each other on a given night. Congratulations to the Mounties who have had a great season to date, and whatever happens, they have done some special things as a team. At this point, Suffern has found, as they have the past few years, a way to win whether it’s pretty or ugly, it’s still a win. Go MOUNTIES.

  50. Rye at Suffern

    Than if Rye is so good, why did they get swept by RTH? Whats your excuse for that?

  51. Rye

    Matchups

    they matchup well against certain teams and not others

    If I had to power rank non CHSHL teams in section 1

    1 Suffern
    2 Mamaroneck
    3 Rye
    4 Pelham
    5 White Plains
    6 RTH

  52. Re: Rye

    why does everyone think Rye is so good? just because they play a close game against Suffern? Big deal, Rye got swept by RTH and lost to John Jay earlier in the season

  53. Rye

    tied sweet home and beat whitesboro

  54. follow the finger

    have you seen Rye play at their top level yet, they have become a very strong and different team from the first half of the season

  55. Rye vs. Suffern

    I would say that ye Town is a solid team, but in the first game Rye was missing 4 of their best players, and in the second game Rye just didn’t have it. The team that lost to Rye Town is a completely diffrent team than the one who beat Pelhan badly and played Suffern the best of anyone in the section.

  56. Re: Rye

    Re: Rye vs. Suffern
    OK excuses, excuses pal, in the first game the RTH goalie stonewalled the Garnets and in the second game, the Titans first line was too much for the Garnets to handle

  57. JOKE

    RTH wont even make it to the section final 4 HAHAHAH

  58. follow the finger

    might be right joke,

    meanwhile Im looking forward to a Pelham Rye rematch for the section final. Either team will be a top contender in the D2 states!

  59. Typical WIHOA oficiating

    these guys are a joke none of them can skate they can not apply the rules..and now they site the wrong rule book…that is horrible considering 99% of them only work with 1 or 2 books and the NCAA is not one of them WHAT A JOKE

  60. rcds

    ok suffern = joke
    beat rye 3-2
    and mmk 2-1
    everyone needs to stop treating them like god
    cuz they aren’t
    rcds cud beat any public school team

  61. hmmm

    if sufferns such a joke then beat them! havent seen it done this season so maybe you should just stop talking

  62. fruit fly

    RCDS COULD BEAT ANY PUBLIC SCHOOL TEAM…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAH you barley beat us last year and we played one of our worst games of the season and we offered you a rematch this year and you “couldn’t fit it into your schedule” please don’t make stupid comments unless you’ve got something to back it please

  63. Country Club Hockey Team

    How could that private country club hockey team with it’s own rink beat a public school team? Oh, book with North and their one win, and oh yeah, play Harvey, and then get pummelled embarrasingly by Mamaroneck who probably held back all night long so as not to make the country clubber’s cry in their club soda’s with a twist of lemon. Man, you guys are AWESome. Rye, Mamaroneck, Suffern, WPlains, Pelham and RyeTown are shaking in their boots just thinking about how tough you guys are. lol lol

  64. AAHAAHA

    RCDS…we all know RCDS is a good team…saying they could beat ANY PS team is stretching it…i understand they fell apart against MMK a little bit …but if they were in section 1 they wud be in the top 3 teams i agree

  65. OVER THE PAST 2 SEASONS

    active players/all leagues (now, you can debate schedule obviously)

    but only the following 6 players have 100pts in section 1 in the last two seasons to date:

    King (IONA)- 132
    Sigona (WP)- 130
    Salt (SUFFERN)- 125
    Encarnaco (WP)- 119
    Ruthberg (SUFFERN)- 116
    Connor (MAMARONECK)- 114

    just food for thought

  66. Country Club Hockey team is an idiot

    dude….they have a very busy schedule playing high competition New England Prep Schools…they played a 3-1 game with an empty netter in a losing effort to Brunswick…a team who beat iona 8 or 9 to 1…and RCDS also beat Worester academy…a team that is BETTER than Brunswick and plays top D1 new england prep schools….i cant wait until RCDS plays some more public school teams and rape them

  67. OVER THE PAST 2 SEASONS

    note- not career, just the past two seasons

  68. Just a little fish in a big pond

    RCDS is a good team with a lot of talent, but don’t forget they lost to Brunswick earlier this season. I think it was 1-10. Little fish

  69. JOKE?

    Your probably some dumb Rye fan who doesnt realize that RTH is Div 1 and actually has to play tough teams unlike the Garnets who have it easy but will get beaten by Pelham so enjoy your loss
    GO TITANS!!!

  70. RCDS garbage

    RCDS tied Harvey correct? nuff said. Oh and by the way, when are RCDS playoffs and who do they play? They have no playoffs!

  71. YES THEY DO

    RCDS has playoffs….the New England Prep Playofss

    you need to be a member at ushr.com to see the standings, but these are the rules:

    For Div. II, teams are simply seeded 1-8. As with Div. I, the quarterfinals will take place Wed. afternoon Feb. 27 at campus sites. The games will be held at the higher-seeded schools unless the travel time exceeds two hours, in which case the game will be held at a neutral site somewhere between the two schools.

    #2 plays #7 and #3 plays #6. The winners will meet at the Icenter in Salem, NH in a semifinal matchup on Sat. March 1 at 11:00 am.

    #1 plays #8 and #4 faces #5. The winners will meet at the Icenter in Salem, NH in semifinal action on Sat. March 1 at 1:15 pm.

    The Div. II championship game will be held Sunday March 2at 12:30 pm, also in Salem, NH.

  72. JOKE

    RTH will lose to a league 2 team

  73. RCDS garbage

    Nice game by Rye last night but I would stop short of crowning them the D 2 chanpions. They still need to win a few more games and keep in mind if Pelham is there at the end waiting Pelham is a big game team and will not be an easy game for Rye. The teams split this season and Pelham plays their best in big games. Rye is playing really well now but playoffs are a different game.

  74. RCDS

    RCDS beat CN 9-0…MMK beat them 2-0…Suffern beat them 7-0 and 5-1…and in the Harvey game RCDS just played terrible its clear that they are a much better team

    maybe public schools should schedule games with RDCS and stop telling them that theyre too busy…so that they can actually see how good a team is before they judge them on stats

  75. RCDS garbage

    nobody wants to play RCDS who decided they are the measuring stick for anything. Oh, can you answer the other two questions, when are RCDS playoffs and who do they play? Cant answer that one can you?
    By the way its not football or basketball scores mean nothing its who wins.

  76. go to the tape

    What does RCDS even stand for? Seems like somebody needs to buy a vowel.

  77. RCDS

    RCDS probably wont make the playoffs this year after the tie to Harvey…before that they were in good shape to take a spot…and that tie really set them back..

    All the teams in D2 New England Prep Hockey are:

    RCDS
    Hebron
    Worcester Academy
    Brunswick
    St. Georges
    Berwick
    North Yarmouth
    Kingswood Oxford
    Portsmouth abby
    Kents Hill
    Harvey
    Pingree
    Brooks
    Dexter

    there are a lot more but i dont feel like going on

  78. Get Real

    RCDS garbage,

    Yeah, How about HARVEY 5 and RCDS 5. Looking at HARVEY’s Record, QUestion did Iona beat them 9 to 1. and Suffern beat Iona 5 to 2, and Suffern beat Mamaroneck twice and Mamaroneck killed RCDS.

    So who’s afraid of RCDS? NOBODY!

  79. WOW

    MMK did not kill RCDS…it wwas 3-1 rcds and they fell apart

  80. fanotgame

    Lets not dump on RCDS. They are a very young team that will be one of the top 4 teams in the area next year. This year, they don’t have the size or maturity to play with Mamo or Suffern. They would have had close, interesting games with Rye, RTH and Pelham this season. Sort of like they did vs. Iona. Rye and RTH would knock them around a bit, but RCDS’ skill would work to their advantage. I think RCDS is a lot like Pelham this year, except RCDS has stronger goaltending.

  81. thanks and finally

    So, the 1 million $$ question has finally been answered. NO PLAYOFFS for Rye Country Day. Wow. So, lets see, They claim that this is one of their best teams? and they dont make the playoffs? gee I want to play hockey there. When was the last time they made the playoffs?
    Uh, gee, uh, (probably when Frank Effinger had the team) years and years ago. Before Clinton was president

  82. The Truth Be Told

    Congratulations to Suffern. Rye was a class act as they acknowledged Suffern seniors on their Senior night.

    The game was not as close as it seemed. The first goal was a kick in and Eck had a great but lucky shot as Natoli was out of position.

    Refs- good grief! Maybe there should be a meeting and to have them go over the official rules.

    On to the playoffs….

  83. Suffern penalties

    Although people are knocking the referees about last night’s game – my only concern was that they didn’t call enough penalties.

    All of the Suffern penalties were legit. One Suffern player was acting like a goon the entire game and in one five second span last night he hooked one Rye player, hit him in the head from behind and then crosschecked him in the back. Very busy.

  84. The Truth Be Told

    I am talking about the “kick in” goal. A no-no under the current rules. No one wants a game decided by the refs making a true mistake.

    I agree that the penalties were legit. And there was some penalties missed as usual.

  85. thanks and finally

    Suffern would not be the best team in the Division 2 league and any of the teams in the top 15 can beat eachother…there is parody unlike Public School

  86. Slacrosse

    SuffernDukeFan and Follow the Finger

    Good objective commnets on Suff Rye game. Good, clean, hard-hitting game. Rye has def been on the negative side of a over-reffed game so can feel frustration for Suff last nite. Great credit to Suff stopping rye on 4 extra man plays and then Suff used its skill to score on its 1 chance! If you were at the game you had to applaud Eck’s clean goal on Natoli as he really thread the needle. He HAD to as Natoli is so good. Despite the lop-sided penalties on Suff which had to be frustrating to Suff people both Suf and Rye crowds were good and both appreciated and respected the skill of both teams.

    GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS

  87. thanks and finally...wtf

    Suffern would not be the best team in the Division 2 prep league and any of the teams in the top 15 can beat eachother…there is parody unlike Public School

  88. RCDS is a joke

    Suffern would beat the daylights out of RCDS. As a matter of fact if RCDS was a public school team I see them right below Rye in league 1. Behind Suffern, Mamaroneck, Pelham, Rye Town Harrison, and Rye. They would be about .500 team. Although they could not recruit which they do, which gives them a unreal advantage over every public school team, and they have a rink on campus too. So, the fact that RCDS is not as good as some of the public schools is a total embarrassment. Being able to recruit should make them easily better than all public schools by far, and they are not. Isnt RCDS season over? stop talking about a team whose season is over and lets talk Mamaroneck Suffern play off hockey

  89. RCDS

    RCDS doesnt recruit much…and they dont accepct many kids unless they are smart…so you are wrong…and the fact that you think they would be behind all those teams is a complete joke…many teams that RCDS plays would kill all public school teams….ie. Worcester academy, who beat Andovver, a D1 prep school….who RCDS beat

  90. hehe

    RCDS is also a very young team with 10 sophmores…so watch out

  91. Hee Haw

    Shakin’ everyone is shankin’

  92. RCDS is a joke

    Dont recruit? nice try. What about the two or three players the coach drives down everyday from his youth hockey team he coaches?

  93. Get Real

    RCDS is a joke,

    Not only do they recruit, they give nice scholarships! But you do have to have the grades.

  94. hehe

    he drives them down to school because they live near him, and because he works at the school so he has to go every say anyway

    The Truth Be Told

    Good objective comments. Eck’s shot was “great” as you say but it was not a “lucky” shot as he’s “threaded” those types of precise shots before.

  96. own up to it

    Yes, they live close but he recuited them, which is fine, thats his job. But dont say they dont recruit

  97. postman

    Slacrosse, do you really feel the Rye crowd was “good”?? I don’t know where you were sitting, but from where i was sitting, down the other end where my wife was sitting, and another spot where my friends were sitting, the RYE fans were not “good” at all. Cursing, calling a suffern parent a
    “B$CH” getting in the face of young suffern girls walking past and calling them “ugly b*&CHES”. Yelling at the players on the ice things such as “stay on your knees B^CH”, “you S*$K C*$K” and many more. You have written many things on this blog, and you have been WRONG every single TIME!!!!!! I really hope you are a kid..

  98. flippin birds da word

    Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiigerrrrrrrrrrr Vettttttt

    Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiigerrrrrrrrrrr Vettttttt

    Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiigerrrrrrrrrrr Vettttttt

    YOU SVCK!!

  99. Seeing Red

    I’m wondering what people think about a team that cancels a game 10 minutes before school is over even after confirming in the morning that they were going to play that game. Especially since their reasoning was that the weather was too cold last night (40 degrees) and the roads would be slippery. This is a team that has had cancelling problems in the past.

    I believe that any team that cancels for no good reason, especially on Senior Night (which they were aware of), and has cancelled games at least four times in a season, should not be allowed to play in Sections 1 or 2.

    I would like to hear what other people think of this and am certainly keeping my emotions in check for what I really think of that program and its coaches.

  100. huh?

    Seeing red:
    What game was cancelled????

  101. seeing red

    ETB vs Byram Hills

  102. SuffernDukeFan

    Postman… Although slacrosse said my comments were objective, which i think they were, you are dead on about their crowd. The kids below me were the most obnoxious group we have seen all year all over the state. And its not like they were funny and a good fanbase like Ithaca was last year, they were just crude and kind of, dare i say it, dumb. They cheered louder when our players were down, then when they scored. When one of our forwards was down on the ice, they kept cheering and laughing and yelling trash at the injured player. If i was a Rye parent, faculty member or team player, i would have been embarrassed by their fans, at least the students below us. Best fans ever? Ithaca at the States last year as they came en masse and were really funny, and clever. And the North fans of last year and the year before were pretty funny sometimes. Last night those fans were classless. Rye parents and fans know they weren’t treated that way at SOR, nor is anyone else. In fact, no other crowd in section one were such poor sports. Now the Rye HS is a different story. They did show class by announcing our seniors. Just the student fans were trash.

  103. Slacrosse

    Postman,
    YOU HAVE THE MATURITY AND CLASS OF A CHILD. By adding personal zingers to your comments and not just sticking to the facts as YOU see them you’re as immature as the kids/adults you alledgedly complain about and they become not worthy of a response, whether they may be true or not.

  104. How you respond to classless fans...

    How do you respond to classless fans like Rye fans apparently were last night? One word…. SCOREBOARD

  105. postman

    LOL.. thanks slacrosse, but coming from you that really doesn’t mean much to me.

  106. JOKE?

    No It wont, RTH will beat WP in a tight one, the Titans will not make the same mistakes they made last time

  107. fanotgame

    I agree that the SOR fans are a more hockey knowlegeable lot than some of the student body fans that stand on the bleachers opposite the visiting goal (1st ans 3rd period) at Playland on Wednesday nites. The Rye fans include a lot of varsity athletes that enjoy hockey more for the hitting than for the skill play. But there are many courteous, hockey knowledgeable Rye fans up in the Playland balcony. Hang up here with us and accept the teenage activity in the bleachers below for what it is, high schoolers letting off a little steam. I have watched and listened from above all season and have heard a lot less cursing than you hear in the club seats at the average NY Rangers game. The Rye parents do often sit among the kids to make them think twice about using improper language. It really is not that bad. And they do have a lot of passion for their team. That being said, I do not condone ANY nasty language directed at opposing fans, especially to young girls. Rye teenagers should know better than that.

  108. JOKE

    wont make the same mistakes?

    here’s one: dont give up 5 more goals than u score

  109. rink rats

    Mamk beat RCDS 6-3 after playing like crap and spotting them a 3-1 lead. I was shocked at how bad a private school that recruits and has their own rink on campus is. Don’t wanna hear about crummy RCDS.
    As for Suffern killing them, they would not. Suffern would beat them, but they would not kill them, Suffern has not killed anyone all year except North Rockland.

  110. Rye fans all talk

    Rye fans (kids) are bad, and think they are pro fans. but they do not travel and go to road games. I would like to see them say that stuff at the Hommocks.

  111. Slacrosse

    SuffernDukeFan,
    When I’ve sat near the Rye High kids in the past (not last night) I agree with your commnets about the over the top bad behavior of at least some of the kids. But it sounds like it went way over the top last night and you could def catch it sitting above “that section” of kids. This is inexcusable and embarrasing to Rye and something in no uncertain terms should be said to these kids from the administration. As “fanotgame” said there are plenty of courteus Rye fans (kids also beleive it or not) who are well behaved, and appreciate a good game and the skills of both teams and I hope you’ll be able to witness this at some point.

  112. SuffernDukeFan

    One can never condemn all fans for the behaviour of the idiots or morons, and I know some Rye fans and parents from my travel team, so yes, i hear you. It is just the only time all year or actually the last 3 years that i have seen an entire group stand up and cheer an injured player, not to mention the abuse the 9th and 10th grade girls had to put up with. That entire section was cheering in unison, as our player laid there on the ice. Worst sportsmanship witnessed yet, but yes, not the Rye parents or most of the Rye fans, just this group of losers who were clueless. I guess i had read about Rye fans at Playland and kind of forgot about it til yesterday. Hopefully someone will explain the sport to them as well as sportsmanship. Don’t recall anyone ever cheering an injury at the high school level until yesterday. And the genius who didn’t understand Whine and Cheese, well, enough said.

  113. RCDS

    RCDS beat Worscter Academy, the #1 team in New England, I think rye or any other public schools would have a tough time beating them

  114. Hey RCDS,

    nobody cares nobody cares about Worchester. Who sees them. RCDS is out of the playoffs again, meaningless season. Playing for nothing

  115. RCDS

    as opposed to the SECTIONALS which is for u a listers and allow anyone and everyone to play, instead of NEW ENGLANDS which takes the top 8

  116. Country Club Hockey Team

    MaM DESTROYED YOU. Give it up. You would be below .500 in League 1. Enough with NEngland, they lost and you lost. Game, Set and Match.

  117. Now Now

    I would think that Suffern more than anyone would understand that you shouldn’t judge a town or a school by the behavior of one or a few of its students (or parents for that matter).

  118. WOW

    BELOW 500. in league 1 is that a JOKE????????????????

    OMG YOU ARE SO IGNORANT…stop thinking that your public kids who play at a slower pace than my grandma are good..the only 2 really good public teams are Suffern and MMK…alright??

    RCDS would be a top 3 team in league 1 this year…and next year theyll be even better they have 10 sophmore this year and are only graduating 4

  119. Slacrosse

    “SuffernDukeFan”
    Understand communication has been made to rye athletic director by rye fans to complain about this behavior.

    “Now Now”
    It seems clear to me that “SuffernDukeFan” is not judging all of Rye or RHS but just commenting on the behavior of a certain set. Even if its 1-5 kids, its still wrong and needs to be addressed. I’m sure that there are incidents with kids at many other schools but that is a problem that they must solve. Rye needs to take care of its own.

  120. rcds and westchester

    im fed up with all u stupid public school people
    suffern beat rye 3-2 and mmk 2-1
    rcds and mmk are very similar in their strenthgs which was proven in a game that rcds was winning while playing terribly
    plus rcds did not have its top goalie in net and was missing players
    suffern is not god
    give it up
    and for u idiots who say that rcds has no playoffs please go to ushr.com and read (if u can read)
    rcds is in a harder league than any public school league
    that is not a opinion, it is a fact
    if suffern played worcsert or brunswick or kents hill, they would be beat period!
    same goes for mmk
    btw sufern has an unfair advantage being motivated by their team moms
    rcds is as good as any public shcool teams so shut up and scedhuale a game and put ur money where ur mouth is
    most public schools have refused games with rcsd because they r scared to play

  121. RCDS yeaa

    unless you guys are scared to schedule games with people who can count to over 10

  122. Vote!!

    RCDS yeaa,,

    Harvey 5 RCDS 5

    Even though you beat Iona 1 to 0 (Looks like you got lucky)

    How does Iona beat them 9 to 1? You’re OVER-RATED. Then again, you shouldn’t even be rated!

  123. RCDS yeaa

    because RCDS has troubles scoring..and is mostly inexperienced sophmores who got overconfident…trust me they are good

  124. Tee Hee

    To: rcds and westchester, go ask for a dollar, and go to the candy store. Really no one cares.

  125. Rye country day

    Why are you always looking to play public high school teams? If you are as good as you say why waste your time? Why do you need approval or recognition from the public high school fans and teams? Why are you even on this blog? most of the players at Rye Country day were former public school players, are they jealous of the public high teams and the league, schedule, section and state tournament and all the coverage interest and visibity it gets? If so I understand that.

  126. rcds

    To Rye Country Day:

    Yes, you have every single player on the RCDS team figured out, where did you get your degree in phsycology?

  127. phsycology?

    I guess the hockey people must have skipped english class at RCDS. It is PHYSCOLOGY!

  128. Funny

    Great school. They can’t play hockey or spell. Are there any D 5 schools?

  129. SAT verbal

    psychology

  130. to little rcds

    Answer the questions, why do you need the approval or recognition from public school teams and fans, are you jealous of what the public schools have that you dont have?
    Lets analyze your constant need for attention from public high schools teams and fans

  131. rcds and westchester

    tee hee
    yo are an idiot and yes we do want some attention in westchester because we deserve it

  132. da PRESSed

    some attention in westchester becasue we deserve it?

    Mamaroneck doubled your score

  133. to little rcds and tee hee

    Deserve it? why? who did rcds beat in public high school league that warrants attention? Why is it so important for public high school fans and teams to acknowledge your team? I will say you have a beautiful school and school grounds. I also like the schools gym as it is totally modern. I would still appreciate you answering the questions above if it all possible so I can understand rcds obsession with public high school hockey.

  134. Refused games? haha

    There is no way public teams refused to play Rcds. As a matter of fact not fiction Rcds ducks invites to division 1 team public high school tournaments. If they lose to any of those teams it ruins the fibs and fantasies they want everyone to believe about the team

  135. RCDS yeaa

    we didnt play many PS teams…thats why we’re saying…dont criticize us unless youve played us regularly….dont get mad at me for saying this but youre basing your opinions off one bad game vs. MMK

  136. RCDS yeaa

    and yes…to answer your question, we do want some recognition in Westchester..imagine if your team was good and got no talk at all in your county..i understand we play in a different league than everybody else, but its annoying when were on the power rankings and people bash us about being there because we let a game slip away to MMk

  137. IP rulz

    1. Suffern
    2. Mamaronexk
    3. Rye Country Day
    4. Stepinac
    5. Iona Prep
    6. Rye Town/Harrison
    7. Pelham
    8. White Plains
    9. John Jay
    10. Rye

    this should be the rankings

  138. IP way off

    Rye is better than RCDS any day of the week. And Pelham beat Rth twice so you are all messed up oh and White Plains beat Iona too

  139. fanotgame

    IP rulz- Interesting that you put Rye at #10. Their record since mid December (when their late arriving players all got their skating legs) is a strong 12-3-2. During that stretch they played 6 games against teams ranked in the top 10 in NYS. The three losses were against Suffern (by 1), RTH in OT (8 sec remaining) and Mamo by 3 in a flat effort. During that same span, Iona (against all but weak Chaminade and St. Edmunds)and Pelham hovered around .500 and Jay was well below .500. RTH has stumbled a bit down the stretch and WP hs played a weak schedule, losing to the few strong teams on their schedule. A case could be made for Rye being as high as 3 or 4.

  140. rcds

    congrats
    rye was 12-3-2 against crap schools
    exception of mmk and suffern
    those 12 wins mean crap wen ur playing awful shcools
    give me a break
    fanotgame ur a joke
    rcds is 3 followed by ion and stepinac
