Here we go.
I’m not sure how much upset potential exists, but we’ve had quite a few surprises already, so why not believe there will be a couple more. There seems to be quite a bit of parity statewide for a change. There are five games on the slate and we’re covering two of them. I’ll be heading out to watch RyeTown/Harrison play Mahopac. You can follow me @LoHudHockey for the updates on that one. Dan DeFrancesco will be covering Clarkstown vs. Kennedy/Putnam Valley/Haldane. You can follow him @Lohud_defran for the updates.
As for the other game, keep us posted on the scores, please. I’ll retweet just about anything that comes my way today. And leave a prediction before you go out if you’re so inclined.

Maybe parents and coaches should rein in the kids before things get out of hand…not blame others after the fact. Too many people say “boys will be boys”——these kids are old enough to know better….too many shenanigans go on in locker rooms…coaches often dont do anything..they let captains make decisions and many suffer….Lets teach, lets be role models, it doesnt help anyone to let kids get away with poor behavior…there must be consequences….there are consequences in the real world…...mommy and daddy aren’t always going be there to bail them out…This is a good lesson for all to learn…even teams and kids not involved
@growup.
Punishment does not fit the (non) crime.
End of 1.
Clarkstown 3 JFK 0
How is JFK ranked this high? I don’t think they got a shot on goal the whole period.
BIA teams huh?
@Sock lawer:
“BIA teams huh?” What does that have to do with anything? All teams are ranked using the same criteria…
Enough already keep blog open for updates
New Ro-7 carmel-1, Congrats to New Ro’s Chris Ramondelli on his 100th goal and 200th point.
Iona last night in game 3. Kept series close
puckislife
i agree 100%
Find some other cause to back, playoffs started today. Its over
wow, C-town was up 7-1 after 2 & their top lines were still playing? Now they’re up 10-1 in the 3rd & one of their captains has scored 2 goals this period….way to go
Clarkstown 12, KPVH 1 (Final)
white plains score?
you decide NTF

What is the Clowntown coaches thinking?
Karma dictates Hill scores his 6th goal late in the 3rd period in a 10-0 win by suffern over clown town.
Agree with RF (2nd time today) that ctown upset the karma Gods but no Suffern player will score his 6th goal and his team’s 10th goal in the 3rd. They wouldn’t be playing in the 3rd. But karma might allow it to happen in the 2nd although even 9-0 in the 2nd would have the starters out of the game. Did ctown goalie play well or was Kennedy unable to get shots.
I would give CooP-Town a pass on running up the score. It’s playoffs time, the first line was playing well, coach may have wanted them to build some confidence going forward. Maybe send a message to their next opponent. They have been playing up and down since their goalie pulled a ghost. They needed this. I personally would of called the dogs off in the 3rd.
Mamaroneck has a scare tonight.
The game will be way closer than anyone thinks.
Ta-Da, while I understand your point, C-town winning 12-1 to a team like Mamaroneck or Saratoga or RFA or N-W or any other state ranked team ….THAT would’ve been more of a message to their next opponent
wonder what message Clarence was sending when they beat someone yesterday in Section VI playoffs 17-1,
Burnsey that is just classless! There is no good reason to decimate teams like that in the playoffs
@jahf – I totally agree
Send a message, I guess everyone forgets that these teams are made up of teenagers….kids. Send a message, what is wrong with these people…
End of 2 pac down 2-1 sog pac 27 rth 15
maybe mall rats found new ro”s playbook
nice job
Any score from Hommocks?
Chaminade-st anthony in best of 3 for finals
Game 1 is thursday night in mt vernon (game 3, if necessary, also in mt vernon)
#1 – JFK was missing their best player
#2 – Good thing the JFK coach knows the first liner (#21) on C-town and didn’t send someone after him when he was out there every other shift in the 3rd period…..
2-0 mamo
Rth 4 – 1 rth, 1 empty net goal, sog pac 37 rth 20 – rth goalie played excellent – congrats and good luck to rth
#1 What in the world was Combo Town coach thinking???
#2 Just how bad was the BIA House League ex SNS & JJ
What is Mamaroneck score?
JJ isgood.i dont disagree BIA is weaker,but jj has shot
@chshl
Why in the world are two LI teams – one from Mineola and the other from Suffolk County – going to play 2 playoffs games in Mt Vernon????
Hard to Belive JFK had a winning record, this team looked like a house league team, Suffern isn’t beating us 8-1 again on Tuesday, were a much improved team, not saying were going to win, but it will be close!!
Mamk won 3-0. They played awful and uninspired. They’ll lose Tuesday if they don’t pick it up.
Thats a great job by North Rockland if they only lost 3-0 to Mamaroneck, North Rockland has to be the most Improved team in section 1, something to really build on for next year!!
Rockland goalie played great saving 45 out of 47
Mamk outshot No. Rockland something like 48-15. Goalie #10 was outstanding and kept them in game with 45 saves
Schiff didn’t get hurt. He will play on tuesday. The coaching staff disciplined him for skipping practice last night. Chappy is a tough cookie.
Mike , can’t you catch the above garbage before it gets published ?
Mike , can’t you catch the above space wasting garbage before it gets published ?
I hope Ctown makes a game of it versus suffern
Thx
Mamaroneck knew he didn’t need schiff this game. So benching him really does nothing. I doubt they would’ve handled it the same way if they were playing a decent team. Mamaroneck is not known for their discipline.
I highly doubt that they sat schifff, heard he got hurt and chappy didn’t want to risk it
