KnightTime05 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Someone brought up this idea a while back and I was all for it. I'm a former Centennial player, and hockey is one of the most followed sports here. Best Hockey teams in the State who are they? My opinion is Pope John Paul II HS ..

CHS 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Best Hockey teams in the State who are they? My opinion is Pope John Paul II HS .. If they brought most of their guys from last year, they are certainly the team to beat. Ravenwood may be the best all-around team I've ever seen on the high school level though, which sorta suprised me because they lost alot of key guys last year.

hockeyrocks Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ravenwood and JPII 1-1 tie... Hey Knightime, you were close on the prediction.. Ravenwood and JPII tied 2-2 on Jan 25 which should give Ravenwood the regular season title. I thought Ravenwood looked the stronger team.. no losses so far in regular season, more depth and better D. Ravenwood's first line is tough. JPII has some great individual players that carry their team, the best one is the russian kid, too bad he doesn't pass! Check out the GNASH Hockey website.

Funny you say Ravenwood looked like a better team. I have heard the complete opposite! I heard JPII domintated this match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyrocks Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Funny you say Ravenwood looked like a better team. I have heard the complete opposite! I heard JPII domintated this match! I was there. It was actually pretty even. Ravenwood scored 1st on an amazing play where the JPII defensemen tried to breakout with a cross ice pass through his own slot, the Ravenwood kid knocked the puck down out of mid-air and fired a nasty shot on net, the goalie saved the shot, but was completely out of position for the rebound. JPII was playing catch-up the whole game, seemed like Ravenwood led most of the time, I felt JPII was lucky to tie, the Ravenwood goalie messed up, caught the puck in his glove and then dropped it in his crease and a little dude from JP knocked it in to tie the game. Ravenwood was not playing their normal offensive push game, they were obviously playing safe to preserve a win or a tie, either tie or win meant Ravenwood wins the regular season title and an automatic berth to state playoffs, they played neutral zone trap for almost the entire 3rd period. shots were almost even. JPII did dominate for the last 65 seconds, they pressed hard, freshman D from Ravenwood turned the puck over and gave the russian a breakaway with 26 seconds left in the game, goalie caught the shot in his glove. In any case, it sets up a nice rematch in the GNASH playoff tournament, they should meet in the semi-final on Feb 22, if JPII can get past MBA? I'm looking forward to seeing both teams play all out, winner take all game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I know how the brackets are set up. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbg Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hockey is a great high school sport and for them to have their own forum would be great. With hockey being a contact sport it is my opinion that the forum would be used much like football and wrestling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPII advances to the championship game with a 6-2 win over Ravenwood. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
