High School Hockey Rankings #2
This weeks ranks will include in order, rank, team, record, division, previously ranked, opponents played last week and who they play against this week.
Top 10 Overall:
1. Delbarton: (6-0-0) [1] Gordon American, they went up to Mass and beat the top 2 private schools (Catholic Memorial, and Maldern Catholic). They play Pope John Tuesday.
2. CBA (4-1-1) [4] Gordon American, beat BC and has a 3 game week against St. Peters, Gloucester Catholic, and Red Bank Catholic.
3. Don Bosco (7-0-0) [3] Gordon National, DBP showed their strength beating 2 non-confernce privates (Mo-Beard, MKA). They have Portledge (NY) and rival Bergen Catholic this week.
4. Bergen Catholic (3-3-0) [2] Gordon American, split games with St. Augustine but was definitely the stronger of the two teams from what I saw.
5. St. Augustine (1-4-1) [6] Gordon American, they split games with Bergen Catholic this past weeked. They play Gloucester Catholic this Friday.
6. Gloucester Catholic (1-4-0) [5] Gordon National, they didn't play since my past rankings, but has Holy Ghost Prep (PA), St. Augustine, and CBA this week...Should be a test.
7. St. Peter's (3-4-0) [7] Gordon National, beat Pope John but lost an out of state game to Upper Canada College (Toronto, Canada). They face St. Anthony's (NY) and CBA this week.
8. Mo-Beard (2-1-2) [8] Mennen, beat Jefferson but played well in a tough loss against Don Bosco. They play West Morris Central this week.
9. Bridgewater-Raritan (5-0-1) [NR] Skylands, had two really good wins over Ridge, and Montgomery. They play Watchung Hills this week.
10. Pope John (2-3-0) [6] Gordon National, lost two games this week (Seton Hall, St. Peter's) They need to bounce back this week to stay in the top ten. Next games: Delbarton, Notre Dame.
On The Bubble:
Randolph (3-0-2)
Glen Rock (4-2-1)
Bishop Eustace (1-3-0)
Brick Township (4-1-0)
Morris Knolls (3-1-0)
Summit (3-0-1)
St. Augustine, Gloucester Catholic, and St. Peter's all seem to be in the same boat right now, and each team could easily be switched into one anothers place in the top 10. I'm still looking for some Publics' to rise up.

Championship Sunday- Recap
Public B
#1 Chatham 7 vs #11 Middletown South 3
Chatham was too much to handle for this Middletown South team. Danny Casey led the way with a natural hat trick in the 2nd period. The other part of the duo Alex Rauter also played a key role adding 2 goals and 2 assists. This game seemed out of reach going into the 3rd period when the game was 6-0 Chatham. Middletown South did notch 3 in the 3rd, all their goals coming from 3 different scorers.
Public A
#1 Randolph 1 vs #3 Montgomery 0
This game was much more boring to watch. The game however was tilted as Montgomery was heavily out shot by almost 4 to 1. Montgomery's goalie Zach Schiavo stood on his head, keeping his team in it. But finally Randolph struck and netted a rebound goal, and it would remain that way for the rest of the contest. Jeff Garinger stood out every time he touched the puck. Randolph has 4 championships in the past 6 seasons, 06', 07', 09', 11'.
Private
#1 Delbarton 3 vs #2 St. Augustine 2 OT
I think almost everyone in the building thought that Delbarton would win this game no problem, but it wouldn't be that easy. It sure was a slow start but when Roman Ammirato of St. Augustine sniped one off the clean draw win from freshman Anthony Saderio, it changed the game. A minute and a half later Ammirato skates through a few Delbarton players and makes a beautiful pass to Saderio for the go ahead goal. In the following minutes senior captain Matt Killian showed why he is an A ranked NHL prospect and lead a rush that led into his game-tying goal. In overtime the pressure was on with every shot. Peter McMullen would bury his second goal of the game on a great play to win Delbarton's 4th title in a row.
In conclusion the championships were a success. I would like to see an overall Public champion, and maybe even a 2 out 3 series for the private championship. The selection commitee did a good job picking the teams being that every #1 seed won this year, and for private it was #1 vs #2.
This week I will post my final rankings, as well as my all-state picks. Congrats to all the winners on a great season!

State Predictions/ Potential New Playoff Format
These are my projected State Quarter Finals, Semi-Finals, and Championship game winners.
Private
Quarter Finals: Delbarton vs Pingry, Gloucester Catholic vs CBA, Don Bosco vs Mo-Beard,
St. Augustine vs St. Peter's
Semi-Finals: Delbarton vs Gloucester Catholic, St. Augustine vs Don Bosco
Finals: Delbarton vs St. Augustine
Winner: Delbarton
Public A
Quarter Finals: Randolph vs Toms River South, Ridge vs Westfield, Montgomery vs Ridgewood, Bridgewater vs Morris Knolls
Semi-Finals: Randolph vs Westfield, Montgomery vs Morris Knolls
Finals: Randolph vs Montgomery
Winner: Randolph
Public B
Quarter Finals: Chatham vs Hopewell Valley, Kinnelon vs Mahwah, Mt. Lakes vs Middletown South, Summit vs Brick
Semi-Finals: Chatham vs Mahwah, Mt.Lakes vs Brick
Finals: Chatham vs Brick
Winner: Brick
If I were to make a new playoff format instead of this setup, I would. What I would do is separate the top 8 teams from each of the following groups based off of location. Such as North, South, Central, and West. Both public and private would play against each other. Then from there rank them 1 through 8 in each district. And have 2 of the 8 teams play in each of the different districts, so you would have 2 teams from each district playing against eachother. They would split up as so, 1 and 5 play home, while 2 and 6 each go to a different location than 1 and 5 , 3 and 7 go to a different location than 2 and 6, and 4 and 8 would go to the remaining district, this would make it even play. The winner of each section would advance to the semi-finals vs another section, and the winners play in the finals, the losers in a 3rd place consolation game.
This is more of a breakdown:
North would consist of: North Gold, Silver, Green, Bergen Catholic, Don Bosco, Montclair, MKA, Nutley, Total Teams = 31
Central would consist of: UCIHL, Skyland, GMC, All CVC teams, St. Peters, East Side, Bernards
Total Teams = 37
South would consist of: Shore A, B, C, D, CBA, Gloucester Catholic, Bishop Eustace, St. Augustine,Paul VI, St. Joes (Ham), Total Teams = 30
West would consist of: Mennen, Halvorsen, Haas, Charette, Delbarton, Seton Hall, Pope John, Livingston, Milburn, Verona, West Essex, West Orange, High Point, Newton, Sparta, Vernon
Total Teams = 32
The Gordon teams would be put into their locations, as well as the NJIHL North, and West divisions.

Player Spotlights-Kyle Garlasco, Adam Apidopoulos
Player Spotlight is a now a new feature to the John Covello Blog, where once a week a player from either high school, or travel hockey will be spotlighted on the blog for their achievements.
This week's Player Spotlight's are:
_Bergen Catholic's Kyle Garlasco, and Adam Apidopoulus. These two players have been the foundation for BC's success all season long. These two seniors are the leading scorers and captains of the team this year. Bergen Catholic just won 2 big games. This is important because they won these two games right before the state playoff cut off date.
_Kyle Garlasco is currently the team's leading point scorer with a 11-28-39 line in only 15 games. This means he Kyle is averaging 2.6 points per game in states toughest division. Kyle's 28 assists is the most in the Gordon Conference.
_Adam Apidopoulus has been on a scoring streak all season long. He has 23 goals this season and 34 points. This means that Adam is average 1.53 goals per game. His talent for goals has been shown especially against Gloucester Catholic. In two games against the Gloucester this year he has scored 7 goals.
_Adam and Kyle also play with the Jersey Hitmen Jr.B (Empire). They play with a previous Player Spotlight, R.J. Burns. Adam has a 7-12-19 line in 29 games. This is including 1 game winner goal, and 2 more added on the special teams. Kyle on the other hand has 6-7-13 line in 23 games. Kyle has shown well in shootouts this season, scoring 1 of the teams 2 game winning shootout goals this season. The Hitmen have already clinched a playoff spot this season. Both Kyle and Adam played with the North Jersey Avalanche 16uAAA National team last season that lost in the National Championship game. Best of the luck to these two players on the rest of their seasons, and in playoffs!
