North Penn 3 C.B. East 1

The Suburban High School Hockey League’s 53rd season got off to a sizzling start Wednesday night. Reigning Class AA Flyers Cup and state champion North Penn picked up where it left off last March and celebrated the club’s 50th anniversary with a 3-1 win over Central Bucks East at Hatfield Ice’s Blue Rink which was filled with friends, supporters, and former Knights.

The final score was not indicative of the flow of the game. All the scoring came in the first period. Luke Haftel, Derek Laguna and Nolan Shingle found the back of the net for the Knights while Ethan Cenci scored for the Patriots, who were outshot 58-10.

Cameron Young, East’s sophomore goaltender, made a strong case for being the best players on the ice; he finished with 55 saves.

“Fifty-nine shots and three goals,” said North Penn coach Kevin Vaitis. He really kept them in it.

“A two-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey. One goal either way can really turn the game.”

Young was at his best in the opening frame when he stopped 21 of 24 shots.

“I know this is going in the loss column,” said East coach Jeff Mitchell, “but for as young a team as we have I was very impressed with my boys tonight  and most importantly, my goaltender.

“How can we give up {58} shots and there are only three goals up on that board? We’ve been very rich in high-end goaltenders in my tenure here. That was a performance that almost tops them all.”

Haftel’s opening goal came 5:16 into the game off a setup from Landon Hofstetter. Cenci answered for East at the 9:37 mark.

Laguna’s game winner came off a scramble in front with 2:17 left in the period. Shingle extended his team’s lead off a shorthanded breakaway that started via a deep carom off the wall on the Patriots’ offensive right wing.

For the Knights it was seemingly business as usual off of last year’s laurels. But Vaitis noted it was just a first step.

“We had a great season last year obviously,” he said. “But right now we’re 1-0 and it’s a long way to March.  We’ve got to take it one game at a time and get better each week.”

• Prior to the game there was a ceremony commemorating North Penn’s 50th anniversary as a club. Plaques were presented to longtime board Dan Vaitis (Kevin’s father) who is currently the club president and longtime assistant coach Frank Stumpo who also serves as the club’s treasurer.

Kevin Vaitis was glad to see the turnout of former Knights.

“There’s a lot of people that have been involved over the years,” he said. “Just to see some of the alumni here tonight coming out to cheer the guys on, it really goes a long way.”

North Penn Celebrates Silver Anniversay

The 1974-75 season was a great time to be a hockey fan. The Philadelphia Flyers were the defending Stanley Cup champions and would go on to win a second consecutive Cup that season.

Their success triggered the growth of the game in the Philadelphia area, including at the high-school level.

That same season the North Penn Knights took the ice for the first time, finishing with a 9-9-1 record against Intercounty League opposition.

Wednesday night, the Knights, who are the defending Class AA and Flyers Cup state champions, will commemorate that occasion when the open their 2025-26 season against Central Bucks East. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:20 at Hatfield Ice as the Suburban High School Hockey League begins its 53rd season; North Penn made its debut in the SHSHL in 1975-76.

The Knights have won three SHSHL titles in 2002, ’09 and ’14

Students, alumni, and friends are encouraged to be on hand. North Penn coach Kevin Vaitis is looking forward to be a new season.

“We’re looking forward to another great season,” he said, “having graduated only three (3) seniors from last year’s squad, we expect good things to happen again this year, and our team is excited to raise to the challenge.”

Blindness Awareness Showcase a Learning Event for Participants

For the participants in last Friday’s Blindness Awareness Showcase, the event was both a hockey experience and a life lesson.

Some 50 high-school hockey players from 10 different schools were on hand for the event, which was a fundraiser for Philadelphia Blind Hockey. For the first time, the players were divided into two teams and played a 51-minute game (with running-clock periods) on the full 200 x 85 ice surface on the Gray Rink at Hatfield Ice. The players wore goggles to simulate various vison disorders while the goaltenders wore blindfolds.

The caliber of play was impressive; even with restricted vision the players were able to display their hockey skills and athleticism. North Penn coach Kevin Vaitis said utilizing the full ice surface instead of playing crosspiece as had been the case the past two years elevated the players’ comfort level, but with a caveat.

“I think playing on the full ice, the kids were going out there and kind of got to experience what other players kind have to experience playing the game that they love.” Vaitis said. “Anybody can play the game of hockey. We all love to play, so it’s great to see those kids give back.”

Vaitis said the showcase exemplified the giving nature of the area hockey community.

“It’s a tight group,” he said, “and I think you see that when it comes to helping out with blind hockey, or a player in our area maybe suffers from cancer or something like that. Everybody kind of rallies around that individual; it’s great to see.”

Kelsey McGuire is the founder executive director pf Philadelphia Blind Hockey. The program launched in 2022 with coaches and high-school players assisting youngsters determined to play hockey despite theor vision issues. There were five participants that first year; this year the number has grown to 17.

McGuire is pleased with the Philadelphia Blind Hockey’s sustained growth.

“It’s pretty exciting that our numbers are growing,” she said. “and we just continue to grow and bring awareness to our program.”

McGuire says the high-school players who are involved with Philadelphia Blind Hockey in whatever fashion gain a unique perspective on the program.

“I think it’s a great way for them to understand where our community is when they give back,” she said, “and when they come to our practices, so they can actually see what it’s like for our players and how they do. It’s pretty cool and pretty rewarding for them to understand the challenges and the difficulties that our players live with every day.”

North Penn Takes Flyers Cup AA Final

The game was hanging in the balance. With 4 minutes, 26 seconds gone in the third period of Wednesday’s Class AA Flyers Cup final, second-seed North Penn was holding a 3-2 lead over top-seeded Council Rock South.

But the Knights’ Sam Norton was sitting in the penalty box, having been assessed a minor penalty for high sticking and the Golden Hawks, who were preparing to embark on a two-minute power play, seemed to have momentum flowing their way.

But appearances were deceiving.

Instead of taking a conservative stance, the Knights stayed in an up-tempo mode and were rewarded with a shorthanded goal from Cole Pluck exactly 60 seconds into their supposed penalty kill.

Pluck’s effort led to four additional goals in the third period as North Penn pulled away to an 8-2 to claim the first Flyers Cup in school history. North Penn (20-3) will face Erie Cathedral Prep on Saturday in the Class AA State championship game in suburban Pittsburgh.

Pluck finished with two goals and two assists.

“This feel great he said. “The best moment of my life, so far.”

Pluck described his second goal, which altered the entire texture of the game.

“{C.R. South} needed a goal and were pressing up,” he said. “The {defenseman} just stepped up and I went around him.”

Pluck says the Knights are comfortable playing up-tempo hockey in shorthanded situations.

“We like to try to play offense on the kill sometimes,” he said.

The final period of Wednesday’s matchup was a distinctly separate entity than the first two, which saw Jake Weiner score twice for the Golden Hawks (22-3) and Pluck and Norton match him for North Penn. Daniel Cabrales gave North Penn a 3-2 lead 5:56 into the second frame and the Knights took the lead into the break for the post-second-period ice cut.

“We talked to them between the periods,” said North Penn coach Kevin Vaitis. “We said we knew we had to come out and take it. They weren’t going to give it to us. {He told his team} we’ve got to come out and finish this game. And that’s exactly what we did, we dominated that third period.”

Pluck’s shorthanded goal gave North Penn a 4-2 lead. Norton followed with his second goal of the night with 7:40 remaining as South slowly unraveled; Nolan Shingle, Declan Leahy and Luke Haftel added goals for North Penn in the closing minutes, all of them coming on power plays; there were nine penalties called in the third period five of them against South. North Penn’s Thomas Sprague and South’s Luke Ralston were each drew simultaneous minors and misconducts as part of the emotional overload down the stretch.

South coach Joe Houk gave full credit to the Knights.

“They were the better team tonight,” he said. “We ran out of gas. We have it everything we had.

‘We’ve said three out of the last four years ‘We’ll be back here next year. But we can’t get over that hump.”

• The All-Tournament Team, selected by the Flyers Cup Committee included:

G Andy Norton North Penn

D Jake Maurer Council Rock South

D James Boyle North Penn

F Sam Norton  North Penn

F Cole Pluck North Penn

F Jake Weiner Council Rock South

Norton, a sophomore, was named the winner of the Bobby Clarke Award as the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

“It’s a great feeling to know I was the MVP,” he said, “but without the whole team, I wouldn’t be in the position I’m in.”

Norton said winning the Flyers Cup title marked the completion of a season-long journey.

“We had a big goal from the start,” he said, “but completing it and getting ahold of this trophy, it’s unreal.”

Of the 25 players on North Penn’s Flyers Cup roster,  only three were seniors and 11 were underclassmen.

North Penn 4 Downingtown East 3

It was a contest of championship final caliber. Over the course of 51 minutes at Hatfield Ice Arena Thursday night, North Penn and Downingtown East both proved themselves worthy of playing for a Flyers Cup championship.

But only the Knights will get that opportunity.

Nolan Shingle’s goal with 3:43 left in regulation, his second goal in a span of 88 seconds, got the Knight past the Cougars 4-3 in a Class AA semifinal. The goal was Shingle’s third of the game and put the second-seeded Knights (19-3) into net Wednesday’s final against top-seeded Council Rock South (8:45 at Hatfield Ice). The third-seeded Cougars close their season at 15-7.

In the parlance of pugilism, both team got off the canvas. North Penn took a 2-0 lead into the third period on the strength of a power-play goal from Cole Pluck 11:49 into the first-period, which was followed by Shingle’ first goal of the night 7:48 into the second frame

But the Cougars survived those heavy blows and counterpunched. Ryan Nichols got Downingtown East on the scoreboard 4:19 into the third period and Anderson Frain tied the game with 6:44 left in regulation.

When Nichols scored his second goal of the game with 4:36 left in regulation the Cougars appeared to have the upper hand.

Shingle however did not agree with that line of reasoning. He tied the game 3:43 left on the clock before delivering the game winner that started out as a breakaway. Downingtown East goaltender Lucas Fleuty made the initial save on Sam Norton before Shingle followed up.

“Downingtown East is a great hockey team,” said North Penn coach Kevin Vaitis. “Hats off to them, they’re well coached. We knew, going into the third, up 2-0 that it probably wasn’t going to end 2-0. I didn’t necessarily want to get down 3-2 but I’m proud of the boys. They continued to work, continued to battle.”

Downingtown East coach Mark Bobko praised his team’s resilience.

“Our guy showed a lot of heart,” he said. “Being down 2-0 going into the third, fighting back, and getting a lead.

“What I was telling them in the locker room was in games of this magnitude the margin of error is so tight that if you don’t expend every ounce of energy and focus it can tip the other way just as easily and that’s kind of what we saw here tonight.”

Downingtown East 0 0 3—3

North Penn 1 1 2—4

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.”

North Penn 5 Council Rock South 3

Samuel Norton did it all for North Penn Wednesday night. The sophomore assisted on the first goal of the night, went on to score three goals himself and helped with a crucial four-minute penalty kill in the third period.

All those elements were part a winning formula as the Knights scored a 5-3 decision in a much-anticipated SHSHL National Division showdown with Council Rock South at Hatfield Ice.

The win was the 11th straight for the Knights (15-2, 14-2 in the division) and lifted then into first place in the division, three points clear of the Golden Hawks (15-2, 14-1) who have a game in hand and three conference games remaining to North Penn’s two.

North Penn also has the inside lane in the race for the top two seeds in the division playoffs, which provide byes into the semifinals.

“It was definitely on our minds, Norton said.

The teams split four goals in the first frame before Norton’s second goal of the night gave North Penn a 3-2 lead with 8:17 left in the middle period. Jordan Sarne responded for South with a power-play goal, his second goal of the night, to tie the game with 2:19 remaining but Norton put North Penn back in front and completed his hat trick when he scored with 6.7 seconds left in the period during a stretch when the Hawks were trying to kill three consecutive penalties.

The game’s most critical sequence commenced with 13:50 left in the third period. North Penn held a 4-3 lead at that point and Norton had already pocketed his three goals but the Knights’ James Boyle was called for two cross checking penalties, giving South a four-minute power play.

At that point, there were some anxious moments behind the North Penn bench.

“They’ve got probably the best power play in the league,” said North Penn coach Kevin Vaitis. “With [Jake] Weiner and [Jeremy] Rayher and Sarne and [Daniel] Fillipov, and [Jonah] Weston they have a very talented power-play unit when they go out there.

“We did a great job killing that off.”

The threat did not end however when the extended power play expired. The Hawks outshot the Knights 20-8 in the third period but Aidan Quigley stopped everything headed his way.

Cole Pluck added an insurance goal with 3:31 remaining.

{North Penn} played well tonight,” said South coach Joe Houk. “We did not play our best game but that’s only an excuse. North Penn has got a good team.

“I kept telling everybody ‘Listen. We’re not a 14-0 team. We’ve had a couple wins. But we can’t come and play ‘C’ hockey and expect to win games at the end of the year.

“We knew coming into the game it was going to be a challenge,” Norton said. “I think the North Penn boys really performed. It was a solid team game.”

Ice chips—South won the first meeting between the two teams, 6-3 on November … South stands first in the present Class AA Flyers Cup listings. North Penn is ranked third … With two assists on addition to his goal, Pluck went over the 100-point mark for his high-school career.

North Penn 4 Pennridge 3 OT

James Boyle score a power-play goal 1:45 into overtime to give North Penn a come-from behind 4-3 win over Pennridge Wednesday night at Hatfield Ice.

The win lifted North Penn to 14-2 overall and 13-2 in divisional play. The Knights trail Council Rock South by one point in the division standings with three games remaining although South has a game in hand.

What’s there to say about Mr. Boyle,” said North Penn coach Kevin Vaitis. “One of the top players in the league, one of the top if not maybe the top defensemen in the league the guy brings it every game He lives for these games.”

The winning goal came North Penn enjoying a four-skaters-to-three advantage after the Rams’ Nick Young received a double-minor penalty 62 seconds into the extra session. There were 18 penalties called in the game, 11 against the Rams

Declan Laehy tied the game for North Penn with 1:33 left in regulation after the Rams’ Nathan McKean gave Pennridge (10-5, 9-5) a 3-2 lead with four seconds left in the middle period.
Daniel Cabrales and Samuel Norton added goals for North Penn. Shane Dachowki and Nolan Shaw scored for Pennridge.

Andrew Norton got the win in goal, stopping 38 shots en route.

The loss was Pennridge’s fourth one-goal setback of the season.

“We deserved better,” said Pennridge coach Jeff Montagna. “I just told these guys we’re four plays away from being a [one-loss hockey team].’

North Penn 1 1 1 1—4

Pennridge 2 1 0 0—3

North Penn 5 Pennridge 0

It took North Penn most of two periods to solve the puzzle. But once the Knights did, the goals came in rapid-fire succession.

Three goals in the final three minute of the second period propelled North Penn to a 5-0 win over Pennridge Thursday night ay Hatfield Ice in a battle of SHSHL National Division heavyweights.

Daniel Cabrales scored two goals and Aidan Quigley was perfect between the pipes as the Knights improved to 8-2 overall and 7-2 in divisional play. The Rams boast an identical record at the season’s halfway mark.

The Rams were ranked third and the Knights fourth in the season’s first set of Class AA Flyers Cup rankings

“That probably was the best game we’ve played all year from a 51-minute perspective,” said North Penn coach Kevin Vaitis. “We knew [Pennridge] was a good hockey team. They weren’t going to give it to us, we had to come out and earn it.”

North Penn took control at the start, outshooting Pennridge 22-6 in the first period. That trend continued in the middle period as the Knights launched shots at James Winton from all angles.

It took them until the waning minutes of the period however to get the better of him.

Nolan Shingle scored the first goal of the night, a power-play effort with 2:51 left in the period. Cabrales made it a 2-0 game with 1:05 remaining when he poked in a rebound that Winton couldn’t control. Half a minute later Samuel Norton stole the puck and center ice and launched a shot from long range that beat Winton on his glove side. It was North Penn’s third goal in a span of 2:25.

Vaitis credited his troops for the way they moved the puck.

“The big thing we focus on is puck movement,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of skill players [and we tell them] don’t try to do anything on their own. When we move the puck well, good thigs happen for us.”

By this point, the Rams were operating on auxiliary power offensively, having lost catalyst Shane Dachowski in the second period to a shoulder injury. No one in the lineup was able to fill the gap created by his absence.

“These guys need to learn how to do things for themselves,” said Pennridge coach Jeff Montagna.  ”Without waiting for someone else to do it. We’re not going to make excuses about it. We have a bunch of guys that have to learn how to go through this.”

Luke Haftel and Carbrales provided goals for North Penn in the third period. Meanwhile, Quigley was stopping all 17 shots he saw.

“I didn’t face a whole lot of shots,” he said. “It’s hard, trying to stay with it when you’re not getting a ton of shots. But, the team played strong and helped me out.”

Quigley credited his defense for minimalizing potential rebounds.

“My defense helped me out,” he said. “Any rebounds they got out. No bad turnovers.”

• With 13:02 remaining in the third period, Winton left the ice because of asthma issues. He returned after approximately. five minutes North Penn utilized its time out after the Rams had used theirs to allow Winton extra time to recover.

C.B. South 6 North Penn 5 OT

HATFIELD TOWNSHIP—Year in and year out, Central Bucks South’s hockey teams have been characterized by their tenacity. That quality was on display Wednesday night at Hatfield Ice Arena as the Titans rallied from a two-goal second-period deficit to score a 6-5 overtime win over North Penn in a SHSHL National Division encounter.

Joey Slobodrian scored the winning goal with 2:28 left in overtime to give the Titans (5-2, 5-1 in the division) a win that kept them in possession of the County Line Cup.

Slobodrian had himself quite a night; the junior scored two goals and assisted on two others. He described the winning goal which saw him get the better of North Penn (4-2, 3-2) netminder Andrew Norton on a feed from Sean Cutter.

“We do this play where pass it through the [defender’s] legs,” he said. He passed it to me back door. Basically, I was just looking at the puck. I chipped it and it went through the five hole.”

The Titans came from behind twice in the course of the evening. They trailed 3-1 four-and-a-half minutes into the second period before goals from Slobodrian and Jake Stepp tied the game with 63 seconds left in the middle period.

Dominic Gibson put South in front with 10:49 left in regulation but Cole Pick scored his second goal of the game for the Knights to tie the game with 9:33 remaining. Sam Norton put North Penn in front with 7:49 left but Ryan Frey answered for the Titans just 14 seconds later with the last goal of regulation.

“I just got the boys going on the bench,” Slobodrian said, “and got their confidence up with some big hits. We got the momentum back and we won the game.”

South coach Shaun McGinty credited his team for its recovery after falling behind early.
“They really came out and gave it to us,” said. “We had to find a way to settle in. We lost that first period [North Penn led 2-1 at that point] and then we’ve got to fight back. The second period, won so I said to the boys ‘Third period you’ve got to win it.’ Our shot totals started to climb up our physicality started to climb up as well and that’s our hockey.”

North Penn coach Kevon Vaitis credited the Titans for their comeback. “I’m not sure if they took us out of our game or if they just kind of hit another gear there,” he said. “But I think they did a nice job getting back into play.

“A two-goal lead I the worst in hockey because one goal swings that momentum. If we score a goal and go up 4-1 it’s much different the rest of the game.”

South had a 44-26 advantage in shots.

  • The two teams will have rematch on December 11 at Hatfield.
