 High School Ice Hockey:Cherokee wins High School Ice Hockey Championship Friday, March 8, 2002 By Mike Costantino Bill Connolly, Anthony Diorio and Sean Zahacewski scored two goals each as Cherokee defeated Washington Township 8-5 in the third and deciding game of the SJHSIHL Tier 1 Varsity Championship series. Cherokee started slowly falling behind by two goals in the first period, but as true champions usually do they finished strong scoring four goals in the third period. Township broke out on top first as Nick Martorano scored the first of his two goals, converting a pass after some hard work in the corner by Eric Marano. Connolly, who played his best game of the series, tied the score at 1-1 scoring on a back-hander from his knees with just over two minutes remaining in the opening period. Instead of closing out the period thinking defense first, three goals were scored in the final minute. |

After the teams traded power play goals in the first period, West Deptford took the lead for good at the twelve-minute mark. Rob Garish won the face-off and drew the puck back to the point where Brett Gibbs was waiting and his slap shot found the back of the net for a 2-1 lead. Ninety seconds later Jackmuff made it 3-1 scoring on a rebound off a Chris Mc Illvaine shot, with Lenape short-handed. |
 High School Ice Hockey:Four Goal Spurt Key as Township Forces Game 3 Wednesday, March 6, 2002 By Mike Costantino Washington Township scored four goals in the last four minutes of the first period and skated to a 7-2 win over Cherokee. With the win, Township has forced a third and deciding game in the SJHSIHL varsity championship last night at Voorhees in front of a standing room only partisan crowd. Eric Marano led Township with three goals and Pat Henderson scored both Cherokee goals. But the key contributors were Coach Schauffele's Tier 2 line of Jason Pelle, Mike Duczkowski and Chris Keyser as all three contributed goals, with Pelle adding two assists. The game was scoreless until the four-minute mark, with neither team coming close to scoring until Nick Martorano was all alone in front but Chris Sabol stoned him. After Pelle won the face-off, Duczkowski put the puck on net and Keyser banged home the rebound to put Township up 1-0. |

Game 2 is Wednesday night at Skate Zone in Voorhees. Brandon Jackmuff led West Deptford with two goals and an assist; Tom Lizzio paced the Lenape attack with two goals.

But momentum switched when Townships' Pelle was called for a penalty and after disputing the call received an additional minor and a game misconduct.
