LoHud Skills Competition
-
- January
- 27
Rye Town/Harrison almost picked up a huge victory last night, but White Plains scored twice in the third period to come away with a 4-3 win at Playland. Ryan McGee of WP and Adam Urban of RTH each had a goal and two assists. White Plains stays in the League 1 race, but now must face Section 1’s four state-ranked team all in a row — Clarkstown North, Mamaroneck, Pelham, Suffern — in an eight-day span that begins Thursday.
There’s two games tomorrow, both from League 2 — Scarsdale-Yorktown and North Rockland-Mount Pleasant. As you can see from the previous post, if MP is going to make a playoff push, it needs to begin now, while both Scarsdale and North Rockland could both end up seeded anywhere from 6-9.
Inspired by this past weekend, here’s a question for everyone — who would win a LoHud Skills Competition? The events are fastest skater, hardest shot, most accurate shot and best breakaway. I have my answers but I’ll let everyone weigh in first.
Also, Matt Moran of North Rockland is in the running for this week’s Gameface, and tune into Varsity Central Live tonight at 7:30.

Hardest Shot- Not sure on this one
Most Accurate-Brett Jackson, Mamo
Best Breakaway- Matt Willows, CN
Fastest – Ryan Rueda
Hardest Shot – Anthony Reagan
Most Acuurate – Rocco Miano
Best Breakaway – Steven Yankowski
Fastest – Chris Mastrocola Mahopac
Hardest Shot- Jo-Jo Marasco-Somers
Most Accurate- Matt Willows-CN
Best Breakaway-Mat Oliverio
MOST LENIENT COACH: I’m thinking Chaps
Fastest – Rob Fine
Hardest Shot – Sean Hagan
Most Accurate – Scott Hagan
Best Breakaway – Brett Jackson
Best Coach – Mike Chap
Fastest Chris Mastocola Mahopac
Hardest shot Victor Dzenis
Most Accurate Matt Willows CN
Breakaway Matt Oliverio Scarsdale
Best Coach – Mike Chap…....LOL…...How Funny is that!
someone noted this earlier, and they are correct
tiebreaker (if teams are tied in points) in chshl goes in this succession
-most wins
-least losses
-head-to-head record
-least goals allowed
-most goals scored
-least penalty minutes
why is it necessary to bash a dignified coach like chap i bet none of you have ever met him and have no real opion you just base your statements on what you hear and having met Chap i can say he is without a doubt one of the most caring and sucessful coaches in New York Hockey
Are we talking about the Mamaroneck coach? Talk about someone who doesn’t know the meaning of sportsmanship. He’s all about the stats…bottom line. Classless
All Pelham
Fastest- Dzenis
Hardest Shot- Hernandez
Most Accurat- Emerson
Breakaway- Flory
All Section
Fastest-Urban/Dzenis
Hardest Shot- Hagan
Most Accurate- Willows
Best Breakaway- Willows
Fastest Skater by far is Chris Mastrocola from Mahopac
How do all of you know so much about Mike Chiapparelli? I think most of this just comes from people being angry that Mamk didn’t punish those kids more harshly for the upstate shenanigans.
Sean Hagan definitely has the hardest shot. He’s like 6’2 220 or something like that. He can rifle it. Willows is definitely the most accurate. There’s a kid #2 on RTH who is very fast and also Paul Mundinger of Rye is very fast. Brett Jackson is fast too but I don’t like his breakaway moves. He has the wrong rhythm sometimes where he’ll fake in such a way that he ends up going back into the goalie so I don’t think he’s the best on breakaways. Dzenis is definitely a fast skater. He probably has the best first two steps in the section. Maybe he is the fastest. He plays D so he doesn’t get to show it off as much.
So pretty much you agree with me, Shot-Hagan, Speed- Dzenis/Urban, Accurate-Willows, how about breakaway?
No one bashed the Mamaroneck coach…..But it is pretty funny that anyone would even think that he is the best coach this year! It’s a joke how he handled those two small mistakes this year. It’s very clear to 90% of the peorple who blog that he was only interested in ONE THING! win at no cost…........................
There are tons of double standards out there and coaches should realize that winning is important but teaching players what is right and what is wrong as well as how to be better individuals should come first. If you make a mistake, you should be punished for it. If your team is up by 5 or 6 goals, teach athletes how to win with honor. There are coaches in sections one and two who have forgotten that.
Fastest-Dzenis
Hardest SHot-Hagan
Most Accurate-Willows
Best Breakaway-Hagen
Maybe they can have the skills competition bttween the DI and DII finals at West Point. Except some of the listed players may be playing in the games.
Here is my list of upperclassmen invitees (can only do one category-spread the wealth):
FASTEST:
Srs.- Urban, O’Conner, Hiller
Jrs.- Ciotti, Dzenis, Mundinger
HARDEST:
Srs.- Hagan, Hill, McCarrick
Jrs.- McGee, Norwin, Klimchuck
MOST ACCURATE:
Srs.- Burdick, Jackson, Emerson
Jrs.- Hagen, Miller, Katsuta
BREAKAWAY DANGLER:
Srs- Willows,Flory,Marasco
Jrs- Mastracloa, Olivario, Pesce
Totally agree about Dzenis, Taylor. He has the quickest feet of anyone out there and hustles 100% of the time. His first two steps are are the fastest, for sure. Love to watch him skate.
Hard to judge Willows against L2 competition. He didn’t look that accurate in the NR game. Maybe he was just a little off that day, or maybe he is just used to weak goaltenders?
There should be a category for best stick handler….Joe Marasco is one of the best in the section
Fastest players – Chris Mastrocola
Hardest shot – Joe Marasco
Most Accurate – Matt Willows
Fastest Skater Mastrocola
Hardest shot – Sean Hagan Mamo
Most accurate- Willows
Best breakawy jackson
Mancuso – Scarsdale. 9-4-1, having lost 9 seniors. Playing mostly with freshman and sophomores in a very short rotation. Clearly they do not have the talent nor depth of the top programs (Suffern, Mamo, CN, Pelham etc), but have far exceeded expectations and have some nice wins over (Fordham, North Rockland, Rye and Burke Catholic).
fastest=urban
hands down
fastest: urban
best shot: hagan
most accurate: hill
breakaway: willows
best stick handler- Brett Jackson
Breakaways don’t happen that much in games so that’s a tough one. You really have to see a lot of games to get a feel for that. In the Pelham game Sat Jackson kind of messed up a breakaway a little bit I thought. If forced I’d say Willows or Flory.
Taylor Sanders. I am almost certain you were a 100 career point player. I remember watching you with Jonny Marshall and those teams. You had a younger brother that played also Matthew?? Pelham has a pretty good alumni game you go to that right?
I’ve only been to the alumni game twice. Its not an official thing. If someone puts it together AND I find out about it I go. I think the Pelham Hockey Association should do an official one, that’d be pretty cool.
haha
if you want to incorporate local chshl, for iona, i can say these are contenders (fordham/stepinac supporters, please fill in any if worth posting…)
fastest skater – possibly cambria
hardest shot – noone inparticular on their V, but the D-man patalano on JV (6’0”, 200 and growing) has a blast from the point..
Stop all this talk about not knowing if Willows is only good and accurate because he plays against scrub goalies. He’s played AAA his hole life and has led the Atlantic Hockey League in points and goals since like 05’. He’s played on national festival teams for the past few years. Yes, he can snipe any goalie easily in the section.
fastest: willows
biggest breakaway dangler: willows
hardest shot: willows
most accurate: willows
fastest skater vote – for next year, 2 jv gaels who literally fly, logerfo and chiariello
if they could fly they’d be at hogwarts..or maybe just on varsity
...
maybe b/c iona V has an unwritten rule to never take freshmen (nates and cambria only ones in history)...and maybe b/c chshl jv (at least half of the division, then all those nonleague games) is competitive and a good grooming process…maybe lol
Harold – Scarsdale plays Yorktown tonite (tues), Ice Hutch at 6:30. I think your intro refers to them playing tomorrow nite (wed).
fastest skater: willows, north
accurate shot: willows, north
hardest shot: hagan, mamo
breakaway: hagen, etb
OK, enough Mrs. Oliverio!
And Dzenis from Pelham? I guess you’d say he looked real sharp against Mamo last Saturday night! Only got burned 4 times for all 4 Mamo goals. And threw a punch when he got frustrated. Give us all a break, please.
Let’s hear what the boss has to say…
Chsaaguy
There were more freshmen at Iona playing varsity. I know of at least a couple two years ago with Cambria – McArdle and Kirincic.
wahwahwaaaaahhhh
looks like the WP/CN game Thursday afternoon is looking more and more like a blowout…WP has to come from behind to win against RTH??? Is RTH that good?? Are they going to give Rye a game tomorrow? (1/28)
RCDS has another home game…tomorrow (1/28) hosting st. thomas moore
Is North Roc all hype? Or are they more than decent? I think I’m going to stop by Tuckahoe Road tonight (1/27) for a bit and check some of it out…
Friday will be busy…lots of Section 1…2 CHSHL games (major playoff implications) in Coney Island
I agree. No one cares about the CHSAA. Bunch of League 3/4 teams that everyone in League 1/2 can beat.
And no one, NO ONE, gives a you know what about JV. Please stop making us read all this JV nonsense.
Take this info how ever you want it.
According the the NHL Central Scouting Boreau, Alex Velischek is scheduled to be drafted in the 5th Round or so of the NHL Draft. He has the advantage of being 6 feet and 200 pounds. However, he plays with Willows and Shuman on travel, and Willows and Shuman both have more points than Velschek for the Morris County Colonials.
westchester hockey, you’re right
McArdle played as a frosh…but it has been noticeable that ever since he stopped playing Apple Core with Cambria, his talent/performance has dipped…
Kirincic was there as a frosh solely to watch and learn from McCabe and co….he rarely played as a frosh.
Outside of Cambria and McArdle, Nates from years ago, don’t remember any other frosh playing (Cody King started V as a soph.)
Iona had multiple talented freshmen come to the school and play JV as freshmen (Peter Ferraro, went on to play at Avon, play D1 at Sacred Heart….Tom Collingham, went on to play at RCDS, play D1 at Vermont, play pro in Germany/U.S….etc….Maldonado, went on to prep/boarding, was captain last year at D3 Middlebury…)
Guess CHSHL JV really sucks lol
Dress warm chsaaguy.
How can Iona have all these great players on JV and not even have a dominant varsity team? It doesn’t make sense. Maybe at Iona they care more about winning on the JV level.
Willows is probably the fastest now that I think about it but he’s genetically engineered so what do you expect? He’s practically bionic.
taylor, LT success = valued more than ST success
former iona jv players
maldonado (last year’s captain at middlebury)
peter ferraro (d1 sacred heart, pro u.s.)
tom collingham (d1 vermont, pro germany, pro u.s.)
kirincic was there to learn from mccabe and co…he rarely played…was a little itty bitty guy
yes, mcardle was there with cambria, but thats when they were playing apple core together…mcardle that year stopped playing apple core and it has showed…his talent/performance has dropped…
honestly, probably nates, kirincic and mccabe were the only freshmen ever to play V…even cody king didn’t play v as a frosh…or delsonno…
chsaaguy,
you’re getting as obnoxious as the whiners.
i meant nates, kirincic, cambria (not nates, kirincic, mccabe)
sorry leagueone, just trying to post useful info, gets hard when it feels like you’re getting attacked like its a screaching catfest
No problem. I think it’s hard enough for some to get into the Catholic league stuff, but to ask them to consider the JV too, is a bit much for them to handle. I think it’s good to know who’s coming up.
Agree about Chiariello. Talented, but his deke moves haven’t been too successfull with higher level goalies this year. Needs to pass a bit more.
I know but what I’m saying is that if they’re so awesome they should be up on varsity helping the varsity win more games. If they’re as good as some people here keep saying they could be helping the varsity. If they’re not good enough to make the varsity better right now then some of you are overstating how good they are just a little bit.
leagueone,
agreed on both parts there. maybe we’ll see a chshl blog one day lol
chiariello and logerfo both have the moves, just have to learn when to make those drop passes, sure shots, passes to the point, dumps, etc…typical things to work on for freshmen who have an insane amount of skill that when honed can be scary…
Agree, Taylor. You throw out the “keep the Freshman and Soph’s on JV” rule if they out perform, out skate the upper classmen. It only makes sense. Team division should be based on skill
taylor, as leagueone, topshelf and some others understand already, chshl (specifically iona/chaminade/farrell/now st. ant’s as they’ve joined chshl) do not believe in bringing up freshmen to V…A), there is a solid JV program and B), you are typically groomed better when doing at least a year on JV (leadership qualities, honing skills, learning as a unit, etc.)
look at the names above who went through it..
the philosophy is not necessarily “this kid is nasty, he’s playing V right away”
Here is what was said about Maldonado last spring as a Senior @ Middlebury with Beaney.. Not too many like him playing locally.
Tom Maldonado, a native of the Bronx, New York, played more than 100 games during his career at Middlebury and collected more than 100 points, including nine goals and 18 assists during his last campaign.
Middlebury coach Bob Beaney called Maldonado an offensive and defensive mainstay who, while small for a defenseman at 5-foot-8, “has a big heart.”
“Tommy has displayed great character,” Beaney said. “You don’t see many hockey players coming out of the Bronx. He has been a great leader and a strongly committed kid to the program. But as good as he is as a player, he is a better person. Tom has reached out to the community and has become a mentor to local kids in helping them with goal-setting and striving for success.
there are obviously rare exceptions to the unwritten rule (a nates, a cambria at his best, etc….i’d even say a king or delsonno), but alot of times, you’d be doing a disservice to the player…unless he’s THAT deserving and THAT much better of a player than the first 2 lines on V, it’s not going to happen
not south of the canadian border, well said
was a pleasure to watch tom the little time he was down here…you knew he was going somewhere after watching just one shift of him play…(you unfortunately knew he was going to go the do-2-years-then-transfer-out-to-do-2-years-plus-a-post-grad somewhere…)
I’ll repeat my post from yesterday about hyping JV teams.
This years Iona JV reports far exceed the famous “hype” about the Stepinac JV promotion of 2 seasons ago.
And this is a perfect illustration of what can become of the “world’s greatest JV hockey team”. The Stepinac JV group has enjoyed some success as a varsity, last year CHSHL runner-up and a respectable season this year, but they have not gone onto be the powerhouse that was predicted.
The Iona JV promoters should tamp down the expectations of this group. Their success will only be judged on how they perform as a varsity unit against Suffern, Mamaroneck, Pelham and Farrell varsity units which already have a very good core of freshmen and sophomores at the V level.
If Velischek played HS hockey against L2 goalies he’d have 100 goals already. Don’t compare him to Willows and Shuman!
Is he this guys’s son? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Velischek
Yes, that is Alex Velischek’s father. Alex plays defense on the NJ Colonials team (stats). He is the type of player that can play either position. And be great at Both!
Maldonado playing defense for the New Mexico Scorpions CHL
as a Rookie he has 3 assist with a plus 7 rating.
Contrasted to Jason Murfitt of Manhattanville playing for Oklahoma City Blazers also CHL as a forward 6 goals 15 assist plus 6 rating.
Maldonado holding his own in the CHL can play with talent like Murfitt is really a big deal for a Bronx boy from our local area. Contrasted to Murfitt who is part of the Potvin family and grew up Ottawa which is the Capital of Candian Hockey.
Bottom line for our top players who want to work at it there is a way. It should be noted the CHL is not high paying about 400.00 per week during the season with room and board.
not south of the canadian border,
do you have any updates on collingham or ferraro? i know collingham had a stint in the echl (wheeling nailers) early this season and so did ferraro a year ago (jumping around here and there between echl, ihl, mid-atlantic hockey league)
OK Harold, you set the stage. I know the answers to the above, but to prove it to the rest of your audience, you need to have this skills competition somewhere.
Velischek is a defenseman, I hope willows and shuman have more points then him.
Tom Collingham on suspension with the Brroklyn Aces per their transactions.
Placed D Tom Collingham on team suspension from the Brooklyn Aces single A team ( Same team CJ Tozzo plays for)
Ferraro brothers are Twins from Port Jefferson Long Island rattling around the minors for almost 13 years. Somehow I think you have another Ferraro in mind.
not south of the canadien border, not those ferraros (who had call-ups to the Rangers and another NHL team I believe…)
their cousins from Pleasantville (Peter and Paul). Peter went to Sacred Heart, I think Paul is a senior there (Sacred Heart) now. Peter started at Iona Prep (JV), played soph. and jr. on Varsity, then transferred to Avon I believe for senior and post-grad. Paul I believe went to Byram Hills. (Both AppleCore products)
velischek also plays for delbarton prep in new jersey
fastest-? (I dont think its mastracola though)
hardest shot-marasco
accurate-willows
breakaway-willows
delbarton prep = scaringly good
are they in 1st in the gordon conference?
they put a clinic on king, mccabe, dimario and co. last season..
(10-06-08) *Peter Ferraro (F) Placed on non-roster spot
with Flint Generals of the IHL
I have nothing more current but I am sure someone must know where at all he is rostered and playing.
NO BODY CARES ABOUT THE CHSAA
waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :*(
Reality, we all know who you are. You need stop bashing Pelham. We know you have an axe to grind. Attacking a player like Dzenis is a new low for you. You need to grow up you are an adult
I don’t think you could put a skills competition between the championship games unless you don’t include anyone on the four teams that are playing that day (I doubt the coaches would allow their guys to go out and wear themselves out in a “fastest skater” competition a half hour before a game.
A possible good spot for it may be at the exceptional seniors game after the season is done. Book an extra hour of ice and put on the competition before the game. It may draw some extra interest in the game and give you a decent fan turn-out.
I was just thinking about it, kids from Pelham not playing Varsity make up a pretty good team.
Reycraft (Junior, Taft) Clayd (Junior Kent) Duffy (Senior Hitmen) Pellow (Senior, Iona) Pellow (Sophomore, Iona) Rooney (Senior Taft) McDermott (Freshman Iona) Kiernan (Senior Taft)
Verrier (Freshman Mid-Farfield)
Throw on a few extra people for a bench and that’s an elite team..
What’s up with this reality person?
lohud hockey,
chshl did a seniors game (and possibly an all star game?), not sure if they still do..
was usually at a nice venue, like msg, nassau (kellenberg, former power memorial, used to play home games there), etc.
Ex player?? Cut player?? Booted player??
ex parent
parent
parent no longer connected with the team
LoHud- pretty good idea about the venue for skills comp. Although you would still have a good group of skaters to participate between the DII and DI finals even if you didn’t include skaters from the DI finals. The DII guys could participate if they wanted, as their game would be over.
Wow, based on the comment, I thought it was a kid.
Get over it and stop living through your kid, reality. Your comments are very immature and venomous. Totally unnecessary.

any predictions for this weekend
fordham vs chaminade
St ants vs Farrell
Iona vs Stepinac
fastest- dzenis
most accurate shot-willows
hardest shot- hagan
best breakaway- emerson
wears Superman pajamas to bed.
would the competition just be comprised of one group? or would you do two different ones, for perhaps seniors and juniors, or underclassmen and upperclassmen.
fordham vs chaminade: Winner Fordham
St ants vs Farrell: Winner St ants
Iona vs Stepinac: Winner Iona
to chuck norris…
No, chuck Norris does not wear superman pajamas to bed, he wears superman while he sleeps
Catholic Fan – CHSAA is temporarily blind from looking at his laptop monitor for 48 straight hours, accumulating substantial blog hours, and will AFK due to carpal tunnel syndrome.
God rest his soul.
HighSchoolHockey
how many breakaway goals does emerson have?
reality,
attacking victor dzenis is even lower than the worm you are. at least the kids on here get somewhat of a pass but an adult calling out a kid?
catholic fan, harold and those interested
standings (tie-break rules incorporated) going into friday night (doubleheader at coney island, the fordham-chaminade game and the st. anthony’s-farrell game)
1, stepinac, 7-4-1, 15
2, farrell, 7-5-1, 15
3, iona, 6-7-1, 13
4, fordham, 6-7, 12
5, st. anthony’s, 6-8, 11
6, chaminade, 5-6-1, 11
what do i think?
in the first of the doubleheader…you’ve got chaminade on such a decline…however, they have to know that they and stepinac have the most games in hand (3 remaining), so being what seperates a currently non-playoff team and a currently playoff team is 1 point as of now, i find it hard to believe they don’t show up. didn’t they have a crazy amount of shots in the stepinac game? then again, fordham has been hot as of late and is coming out like they want it bad. i say a tie, 3-3.
the next game is a toughie too. st. ant’s is just a machine on fire as of late (and easily the best team in the league with its entire bench). farrell knows it locks a playoff spot with a W. however, farrell has been on the decline like chaminade (outside of their recent iona W). farrell beat a depleted st. a’s team earlier in the season, but then lost to them 7-4 a week and a half ago. while looking at this matchup, you realize something else. the only way st. a’s makes the playoffs is if fordham loses 1 game to chaminade and ties the other against chaminade. ALSO, chaminade needs to lose its other remaining game (against stepinac). only in that scenario would st. a’s make it (assuming they beat farrell friday night). they’d be tied with fordham in points, tie break goes to st. a’s (more wins). they’d be tied with chaminade in points, tie break goes to st. a’s (more wins). the chances of this happening, 1 in 100 (but realistically probably better). the way the season has been going for st. a’s, the way chaminade has been playing horribly (i think will still lose to stepinac, even if stepinac clinched already and doesn’t need the points), it could happen. and if it does, watch out…easily winning championship if they get the chance… i say st. a’s 5, farrell 3 (eng)
iona-stepinac the night after
wow
just be there. desperation game is all you can say. place is going to be a mob scene. iona student body knows the implications and so does stepinacs. probably the same amount of ursuline, victory, maria, good counsel girls in the crowd too. and then you’ve got the parents and families…talk about an ice hutch parking lot nightmare…iona just plain out needs the W. stepinac has 2 more games (against farrell and against chaminade) to clinch, i think all they need is 1 point to clinch, not even a W. i say iona 3 stepinac 1
harold, just saw you posted a new topic. i’m going to copy this and throw it on that topic, too…
chsaaaaaa
dont speak to soon my friend lol
You heal quick!
:p
For all the CHSHL fans out there
, Michael Spillane of Fordham would have to be considered for the fastest skater
Farrell-Stepinac-Fordham-Iona will make the playoffs.
St. Ants misses by one point which is a shame because they are the best team right now. Fordham peaking at right time. Took apart a full squad Iona team Sunday. Only lost to St. Anthonys this past weekend beating Iona and Farrell. Also beat Stepinac last game easily with their full team. Could Fordham be the team to beat or will coaching come into play giving Stepinac the edge.
Brendan Massullo is faster than Spillane but it would be a nice race.
Alex Hagen of ETB would win everthing(fastest skater, hardest shot etc..)
as for sec1 fans comment about the pelham team. If they had all those kids they would be putting up ridiculous number and probably have close to a perfect record. However they would have to make room for all those players by cutting come other kids off.
UPDATES ON SUFFERN VS. IONA PREP
8PM TONIGHT AT SPORTO-RAMA
I agree that Fordham is playing well now but would be surprised if Cham didn’t show up. If they do, they have a big size advantage over Fordham and are physical enough to cause them some problems. Also, McNally will play and nobody has n answer for him 6 2” offensive defenseman, misses a lot of games. Hasn’t played either game with Step and they won’t handle him either. St A’s easily over Farrell and Step-Iona a tossup but Iona should wear them down, no ? All good games.
that guy
it was rescheduled
check suffern’s more up-to-date website
http://www.ballcharts.com/teams/schedule.php?team=suffernhockey
iona forgot to change the date on theirs
Harold we would like to hear your predictions of who you would pick for the Fastest skater, Hardest Shot, Most Accurate and Best Breakaway, we heard from everyone else.
on the lighter side
fastest nickey
hardest shot nickey
most accurate nickey
best breakaway nickey
i swear that nickey got a gift !!
hagen (etb) win at least two ( all of the breakaway and hardest shot
Great show, Harold.
Fastest – Mastracola/Marasco
Hardest Shot – Marasco
Most Accurate – Willows/Marasco
Best Breakaway – Marasco/Shuman/Willows
1-0 Mt. Pleasant After 2
What if we had a skills comp for goalies?
The coach will probably not allow McNally to play for Cham because he doesn’t have playoff eligibility anyway. He has only played a few games.
I wanted to keep this up for 24 hours before i made my picks. I’m not sure it’s possible to do this before or between the Section 1 finals, but maybe it could be a neat addition to the outstanding seniors game?
Division I
Fastest skater: Adam Urban, RTH
Hardest shot: Sean Hagan, Mamaroneck
Most accurate: Alex Hagen, E/T/B
Best breakaway: Matt Willows, Clarkstown North
Division II
Fastest skater: Paul Mundinger, Rye and Victor Dzenis, Pelham (maybe they can race before the next Pelham-Rye game?)
Hardest shot: Joe Marasco, Somers/NS
Most accurate: Mike Burdick, Pawling
Best breakaway: Marc Flory, Pelham
They had a skills competion at nationals and Feliu won the the goalie part. Halpin was our player and while he is very talented he is better at just playing real hockey cause he wasn’t too good at remembering the wierd rules the players had to follow. That was alot of fun for everybody and there were probably 600 people watching from all 12 teams. The year before when the bantam team made it as the host team i believe Pesce went for the players and Glaviano’s backup did the skills comp cause he didnt play in any of the games.
