Watch JSZ’s Complete Ice Hockey State Finals Coverage – Jersey Sports Zone

One more trip to The Prudential Center in Newark is in store for eight teams across state competing for four hockey state championships. Our team of MMJ’s will have wall-to-wall coverage from The Rock all day long, so stay tuned as the highlights roll in!

The Hermits battled hard to defend their title in the highest-scoring state championship game in New Jersey history. Third-seeded St. Augustine (15-5-1) brought a dominant offensive attitude to The Rock on Monday and it paid off with their second-straight Non-Public state championship. Robert Romarino, Ty Simonet and Cam DeLeo each had hat tricks and the trio accounted for all 10 Hermit goals in the win. No. 1 seed Don Bosco (24-3-1) only held the lead once in the state final – Erik Wrynn had a hat trick in the loss for the Ironmen.

Eli Singley’s first goal of the season in his final high school game came with 38.4 seconds left to break a 3-3 tie and give Morris Knolls/Hills a magical run to the school’s fifth state championship on the ice.  Governor Livingston had a 3-1 lead early in the second period before the Golden Eagles mounted their comeback.  Michael Simone made it 3-2 at the end of two periods and Luke McCloud’s 33rd goal tied the game with 9:14 to go.  Simone slid the pass across to Singley for the game-winner.  Morris Knolls was 8-10-1 in the regular season but rolled off five straight wins in the state playoffs to win the Co-Op title.
