Council Rock South 4 Central Bucks South 3

There wasn’t a lot of sizzle and finesse on display during Thursday night’s SHSHL National Division final. Instead, Central Bucks South and Council Rock South offered the near-capacity crowd at Grundy Arena a display of grind-it-out, blue-collar hockey.

It was the Golden Hawks who prevailed.

Jake Weiner’s goal with 4:31 left in regulation gave Council Rock South a 4-3 win. It marks the third consecutive SHSHL title for the top-seeded Hawks (20-2) and the fifth in school history.

“I don’t really think back about that kind of stuff,” said longtime South coach Joe Houk. “Because you always have a different group of kids.

“I was happy for these guys. We fought all year didn’t play our best hockey all year. We played our best hockey {in the semifinals against Pennridge}. We didn’t play our best tonight but we hung in there.”

The Hawks had to come from behind two to claim their championship laurels. The third-seeded Titans (17-6) took a 1-0 lead when Sean Cutter scored off an offensive right-circle faceoff 6:27 into the first period.

But when C.B. South was accessed three consecutive penalties, Jordan Sarne stepped up for the Hawks, first by redirecting Dan Fillipov’s shot from the left point to tie the game with 4:40 left in the period and then connecting on a shot from between the circles a little over three minutes later.

Sarne cited the strength of his team’s power-play unit.

“In practice we really work on it,” he said. “All the boys have come together, we work on our passing, shooting, we just work on everything. So, it works out.”

Keith Waldron tied the game for the Titans with 3:46 left in the middle period and Joey Slobodian who put Central Bucks South in front for the second time when he took advantage of a Central Bucks South turnover near the Hawks’ net.

But momentum shifted dramatically in the Hawks’ favor when, with exactly six minutes remaining in regulation during a protracted tussle along the wall behind his own net, the Titans’ Jeff Kvecher was flagged for delay of game.

Forty-nine seconds later, Jeremy Rayer’s goal tied the game and 40 seconds after that, Weiner delivered the game winner. He said he and his teammates felt they had something to prove.

“We’re not the {number one seed} for no reason,” he said. “They outworked us a little bit in the beginning and we came out stronger and we showed why we’re the better team.”

Weiner said he found the physical tone of the game appealing.

“That’s fun,” he said. “I love the blue-collar game. It makes it more fun, Big hits, working in the corners, I like that part of the game.

Central Bucks South coach Shaun McGinty came up short in bid for his team’s eighth SHSHL title.

“The right two teams were here,” he said. “Shots 28-25 (in the Hawks’ favor, 4-3 back and forth. It’s great for high-school hockey … I give my kids a ton of credit for losing with respect. Nothing at the end to interfere with our moving forward or their moving forward.”

Council Rock South is the top seed in the Class AA Flyers Cup and will face either Conestoga or Boyertown in a quarterfinal game on Thursday, The Titan, the fifth seed, will face Spring-Ford on Tuesday.

H-H 5 Plymouth Whitemarsh 2

The second-seeded Hatboro Horsham Hatters clawed their way into the SHSHL American Division Championship game and brought its grit to the final upsetting the favored and  defending divisional champions the Plymouth Whitmarsh Colonials 5-2 on Thursday night.

The victory marks the first for the Hatters since 2018. The game was also the first win for Hatboro Horsham against the Colonials this season. The teams met four times with Plymouth Whitemarsh claiming victory in all four contests by a combined score of 31-21.

The Hatters came out hot holding a 6-1 shot advantage through the first five minutes before Joseph Magnin Jr. capitalized on the team’s sixth shot of the game thanks to the help of Francis Stanchek and Cole Meyer. Six minutes later Evan Snow collected the loose puck off an initially blocked shot and found the stick of Victor Wilkins to give the Hatters a 2-0 advantage at the end of the first period.

The Colonials offense gained momentum leading the Hatters 11-5 in shots through the first 12 minutes of the second period. Wilkins found himself in the penalty box for a cross check leaving Plymouth Whitemarsh with the advantage firing off five shots in the two minutes. As the penalty expired, Charles Spause collected the puck off to the left and passed into the center for the quick flick into the net by Luke Smith to put the Colonials on the board, 2-1.

Wilkins wasted no time finding the stick of William Moffa to regain a two-goal lead for the Hatters just 14 seconds later. Daniel Guller made it a one-goal game for the Colonials once more off the assist from Cooper Kanze to end the period trailing the Hatters 3-2.

Hatboro Horsham turned up the heat in the final period. The duo of Wilkins and Snow paired up once more just 51 seconds into action to create a two-goal lead for the Hatters for the second time, 4-2.

“I love playing with the younger guys. I like bringing them up and helping them out. He [Snow] stepped up big time. He’s never played like that before and I couldn’t ask for anything more for me or my linemates,” stated Wilkins on the duo’s performance.

Guller saw his chance to cut the deficit to one once more with a breakaway fighting through two defenders but ultimately was stuffed by goaltender Eric Miller. Magnin secured his second goal of the night off the assist from Vincent Graziani securing the 5-2 victory.

Despite the heart-breaking loss, the Colonials look to what lies ahead as they prepare for the Class A Flyers Cup seeded at No. 8 and ready to face Springfield-Delco on Monday night.

“Not the way we wanted to end things, but a good season overall. I think we did a lot of good things and looking to bounce back from this and hopefully roll into the Flyers Cup with a better outcome,” said Plymouth Whitemarsh head coach Vince Forti.

As for the Hatters, head coach Shane Smith touched on the singular message he gave his team heading into the contest.

“Love. We started off with our speech and we did the old Herb Albert. We play them five times. They may beat us four times, but tonight is our night. And tonight proved to be our night,” said Smith.

“We’ve gone to task with them and have had a few close games. I told the boys at the beginning of the season that this is a championship team, and I believed in them and loved them. They came out and have done everything we ever asked. Our goaltender stepped up and had a game like he never has before. We got everything we needed out of the boys. I can’t say enough for them. This was all them.”

As for senior captain Wilkins, this night and this moment was one that he will never forget.

“It means everything. We worked so hard for this. Coming out against an undefeated team like PW. It’s surreal. I couldn’t ask for anything else for my senior season,” exclaimed Wilkins.

The journey isn’t quite over for the Hatters yet as they also move onto the Class A Flyers Cup. Seeded at 14, Hatboro Horsham will celebrate tonight before shifting their focus to Radnor on Monday.

C.R. South 4 Pennridge 1

It’s no small feat to top the defending state champions three times in a season. 

But Council Rock South accomplished that on Wednesday, topping defending Flyers Cup and state champion Pennridge, 4-1, in the semifinals of the SHSHL National Division at Grundy. 

In the first period, the Golden Hawks took advantage of a Shane Dachowski roughing minor by netting a power play goal by Jagger Smith for the first score of the game. 

They added to that when Jake Weiner scored back-to-back goals in the second period.

That 3-0 lead lasted until just seven minutes remained in the game, when Joshua Kelly’s shot took an odd ricochet over CR South goaltender Trey Prozzillo’s right shoulder. 

It wasn’t enough of a spark for the Rams, though, and Jeremy Rayher shut the door with his goal for CR South with 3:36 to go in the game. 

“The first five minutes, teams have to feel each other out,” said Pennridge junior James Rush, a forward. “After those five minutes, I felt our team was pretty engaged. I thought our lines were moving pretty good. We were going hard, but we weren’t getting the bounces. 

“I think the mindset is pretty much the same for us every game. We know our system. We just want to stick to that. 

“I really didn’t think we were going to lose until about the last two minutes. Crazier things have happened and you never want to think you’re out of it so you don’t give up until the last whistle.”

Prozzillo was superb for the Golden Hawks, making 25 saves.

“I really wanted the shutout,” said Prozzillo, a junior. “That one goal that I let in was weak. 

“But our whole team stayed together. We wanted to win this game so bad for all the times that we lost to them in the past. We really worked as a team and supported each other.”

His teammates appreciated his performance. 

“For him to stand on his head like that, he was great,” said Dan Filippov, a senior defenseman for the Golden Hawks. “He was backing up Carson Lopez last year so he had big shoes to fill and when he plays like that against a team like that, you can’t thank him enough.” 

It was the third meeting of the year between the two, with CR South winning the first meeting, 6-5, and the rematch, 5-2. 

“We came out a little slow but we definitely picked it up in the second period. We had a talk and we knew we had to work together. The teams that win these games are the teams that work together. Individuality will not win these games. We built that momentum up and then we started banging in those goals. 

“Against a team like this, that we’ve lost to in the Flyers Cup twice, there’s history there and we wanted to win,” Filippov said. “We gave it everything we had. We wanted to show a different team than they’ve seen in the past. 

“Even the kids who don’t see a lot of playing time were banging on the boards and getting into it and that’s good to see.”  

The Rams are a relatively young squad. 

“We had like 14-15 guys graduate from last year and we had a bunch of JV players come up and filling big roles,” said Pennridge senior Jared Garber, a defenseman. “That was an adjustment a little at the beginning but they’ve been playing really well. 

“We had some good chances but we couldn’t find the net and their goalie played phenomenal. But I thought we outplayed them, honestly but we couldn’t put the puck in the net.”

The Golden Hawks (17-5) seek their third consecutive SHSHL title. 

“I’m excited,” Prozzillo said. “We’re really looking forward to it.”

CR South will take on Central Bucks South, a 4-3 winner over North Penn, for the division championship on Thursday. Win or lose, the Golden Hawks will participate in the Flyers Cup, which begins on Monday. 

Pennridge (13-8) will be back on the ice for the Flyers Cup.

“That’s all we’re worried about,” Rush said. “These playoffs are great but we have our eyes set on the Flyers Cup.”

Garber agreed. 

“We lost this game a couple of years ago and we still won the Flyers Cup, so we won’t give up,” he said.

C.B. South 4 North Penn 3

Central Bucks South scored three times in the third period Wednesday night to earn a place in the SHSHL National Division final with a 4-3 decision over North Penn at Hatfield Ice.

The third-seeded Titans (17-5) will face two-time defending champion Council Rock South Thursday night at Grundy Arena. Second-seeded North Penn will be idle until the quarterfinal round of the Class AA Flyers Cup tournament next Thursday.

“This was a true team win,” said South coach Shaun McGinty. “With three period ahead of us, the boys must continue to play hard in all three zones.

“Our focus remains on team structure and having a team-first mentality.

South’s Sean Cutter and North Penn’s James Boyle traded goals to send the game into the third period all even.

Dom Gibson scored for South to his team up 2-1 2:23 into the final period, but Boyle followed with his second goal of the game with 9:51 left in regulation.

Logan Hood’s goal with 6:21 remaining put the Titans ahead for good. Ryan Frey added an insurance goal 37 seconds later and the policy was needed and Boyle completed a hat trick with 21 seconds left in regulation.

North Penn coach Kevin Vaitis credited the Titans for their effort.

“They had multiple lines coming at us in waves,” he said. “Hats off to them for how they played. I told our boys to keep our heads up as we have to refocus now and get ready for the Flyers Cup.”

H-H 8 Springfield 6

Connor Smith tied the game for the second-seeded Hatters with 5:03 remaining in the final period. Vincent Graziani scored the game-winning goal, his third goal of the night, with 2:52 remaining before adding an empty net goal with 1:17 left.

Holy Ghost Prep 6 La Salle 4

Holy Ghost Prep made history Wednesday evening.

Joe Kaufmann’s goal with 12:32 left in the third period snapped a 3-3 tie and Holy Ghost Prep went on to a 6-4 win over La Salle  in the APAC Founders Cup championship game at Grundy Arena.

It was the first triumph for top-seeded Holy Ghost Prep (18-4-1) in an APAC final in three tries.

The win marked the Firebirds’ third over second-seeded La Salle (15-7) this season but it did not come easily.  Brady Logue, Colin Bara, and Brian Kinniry scored goals in a span of 7 minutes, 21 seconds in the first period to give the hosts a 3-0 advantage.

“That was our game plan going in,” Kinniry said. “Get on them early.”

But, just before the midway point of the second period, the Explorers woke up. Michael Esmond made a run up the middle of the ice and finished the play himself 2:19 into the period. Nole Donohue made it a 3-2 game at the 8:53 mark and Cam Ross tied the game 2:09 into the third period when he put in a rebound.

Kauffman said he and his teammates knew they had a fight on their hands as La Salle made its surge.

“We weren’t sure what was really going to happen,” he said. “We just knew when we got back on the ice in the third that we had to give it our all. Either put something in the net, or stop them from scoring.”

And Kaufmann did just that with a shot from the right wing. Logue extended his team’s lead with 9:43 left in the regulation and Kinniry scored his second goal of the game with 1:36 left.

Kinniry said he and his teammates stayed focused on their mission.

“It really gave us motivation to get through the third period,” he said. “Our second period was pretty bad so we came back out and got the go-ahead goals.”

La  Salle coach Wally Muehlbonner said his team struggled from the start.

“I don’t think we played a good game at all,” he said. “We played the way we needed to in the second period, that was our best period obviously. But it’s tough to come back from down three.”

Holy Ghost Prep coach John Ritchie credited his players for a season’s worth of effort.

“This isn’t about the adults,” he said. “This is about the kids. They’re so deserving.

“It’s a long year, it’s tough to stay on top in a league like this. I can’t say enough positive things about the group that’s in there.

“Everybody bought in, everybody did their jobs and even when it got close and don’t think there was any doubt we would figure a way to beat them.”

The Firebirds and Explorers will open Class AAA Flyers Cup play on Tuesday. Top-seeded Holy Ghost Prep will face eighth-seeded Owen J. Roberts (6:15) while second-seeded La Salle will go against number-seven Devon Prep. Both games will be played at Hatfield Ice.
