Haverford Hawks vs. Atlantic City Sharks, September 25th, 9:50 AM
Both of these teams have had plenty of close match-ups leading up to this point, which will make this probably one of the tighter contests of the showcase. Sharks’ goalie Casey Smith has only allowed eight goals in 116 shots against (.931 save percentage), while Haverford has a goals-per-game average of 3.7 over six AHF games. One big plus for Haverford is how they’re able to distribute their goal-scoring with 11 players having at least a goal in AHF contests. Atlantic City prides themselves on defense, however, allowing an average of 25 shots a game in their five games this season. 

Montgomery Youth Hockey Blue vs. North Jersey Skyland Kings Navy, September 25th, 11:50 AM
Two teams who have identical records (5-0-0) and identical goal differential (+18) will battle on Saturday morning. North Jersey’s Ayden Greenberg has five goals in five games and will try to continue his hot streak. Greenberg will have back-up, as Braden Peck and Robbie Myshkoff have four goals of their own this season. They’ll have to go up against Liam Jukas, who sports a 0.99 GAA, as well as the rest of the Blue Devils defense that has held their opposition to 20.6 shots-per-game. Not to mention Connor Hall for Montgomery, who has 10 points in five games. 

York Devils vs. Ashburn Xtreme, September 25th, 2:25 PM
Two teams with explosive offenses and stingy defenses will go head-to-head on Saturday. York has been on a roll in AHF play, letting in only two goals in their last three division contests, while Ashburn has only been held to under five goals once in AHF play. Ashburn’s Landon Street’s 2.25 points-per-game this season is tops in the U16 AA division, while Jack Kline and Paul Allison have provided some scoring punch of the Xtreme, as well. York, however, likes to move the puck around with 16 skaters having at least one point this season. Add that to John Castle’s solid performance in net so far, this might be the marquee match-up of the showcase.

FORWARDS

Devin Valeri, Hollydell Hurricanes Gold
A big presence in front, Valeri has been a top producer for the Hurricanes so far this season. A threat in the blue paint, Valeri causes plenty of havoc in front and gets rewarded for taking the abuse in front of the net. 

James Smack, Maryland Jr. Black Bears White
With 16 goals in five AHF games, it’s safe to say that Smack has plenty of offensive upside to his game. A natural in scoring, Smack has hat-tricks in four of his five games played for the Jr. Black Bears. 

Nicholas Calandra, Jersey Shore Wildcats Red
In only eight games, Calandra has posted 21 goals for Jersey Shore; far eclipsing his 12 goals in 18 games last season in U16 A. While he did have better than a point-per-game last season in U16 A, Calandra has used that season as a huge jumping off point heading into this season. 

Aidan Rozell, Brick Hockey Club
In only nine games, Rozell has matched his output from last season in U16 A with six goals and 13 points in half as many games last year. With a solid showing in the August Showcase, Rozell is looking to take control on the bigger stage once again. 

Ryan Jarvie, Atlantic City Sharks
In his first year with Atlantic City, Jarvie has made quite an impression with 10 points in his first six games. Jarvie has great vision of the ice and solid decision making when it comes to handling the puck. 

Patrick Shearn, Grundy Senators
With a balanced attack, Shearn provides a dual threat in the offense for the Senators. While he does have a solid goal scoring touch, his ability to dish the puck to his teammates around him keeps the defense guessing on what he’ll do when he has the puck. 

Ethan Bui, Hollydell Hurricanes Gold
While he might not be the biggest on the team, Bui’s heart and speed make up for that. A vicious back-checker, Bui won’t back down from the competition and will give as good as he gets. Many feel that he’s one of the top defensive forwards in the division. 

DEFENSE

Tony Brandl, Jersey Shore Wildcats Black
Brandl leads his squad with 10 goals this season, which is a huge feat for the blue-liner. A solid puck moving defenseman, Brandl not only adds offense; but he makes sure to be as responsible in his own end to help out his goalies. 

Tyler Peterson, North Jersey Aspen Kings Grey
A solid puck-moving defenseman, Peterson leads all defenders across the division with eight assists on the season so far. The right-handed shot defenseman has solid vision of the ice in order to find his teammates for prime scoring chances. 

Gavin Nace, Hollydell Hurricanes White
Even though he’s one of the more undersized defenders, Nace has put up a 2.25 points-per-game mark in AHF play this season. You’d never know that Nace is in his first season of U16 A hockey, but uses his solid skating talent to close any gap there may have been coming into the year. 

GOALIE

Cody Arnold and Lucas Vellequette, New Jersey Jets
Arnold and Vellequette sport the lowest goals-against in the division with only two goals against given up between the two. Arnold has three shutouts on the season and Vellequette has one in a combined 255 minutes of AHF game time. 

Owen El-Attar, Delaware Ducks
Having only let up three goals in four games, El-Attar has been solid for Delaware this season. With a 0.75 GAA and .950 save percentage, El-Attar has been one of the top goalies in the division. 

Shane Brannick, Atlantic City Sharks
Brannick has played over 300 minutes this season and has a 2.17 GAA and .910 save percentage. In his six games this season, Brannick has only allowed more than one goal twice on the season. 

FORWARDS
Nadav Emenecker, Igloo Jaguars
Emenecker just needed three games to hit double-digits in points. With nine goals and six assists on the weekend, Emenecker helped the Jaguars to a solid three-win weekend in their first slate of games in the AHF. 

Anthony Kulp, Team Philadelphia Orange
With four multi-points games, Kulp made his presence known at the Showcase with six goals and five assists in four games. With his balanced attack and knowing when to shoot and when to pass, Kulp helped the Orange Team Philadelphia to a perfect weekend. 

Logan Doyle, Grundy Senators
With seven points in four games, Doyle was a key part in the Senators’ undefeated weekend. Scoring four goals on Friday to set the tone, Doyle finished with six goals and an assist during the Showcase. 

Jason Sassano, Jersey Shore Wildcats Black
In only three games, Sassano was able to pot three goals and register eight points for the Wildcats during the Showcase. His stickhandling ability and vision to set-up his teammates helped the Wildcats take two of three on the weekend. 

Nicholas Denadai, Team Philadelphia White
Denadai had six goals in only four games for Team Philadelphia and led the way during their three win weekend. Denadai didn’t hold back when it came to the shooting aspect of the game, while also registering a hat-trick on Sunday’s morning match-up. 

DEFENSE
Sean Stevenson, Team Philadelphia Black
While he registered five points (1g, 4a) in his last two games of the Showcase, Stevenson helped lead the Philadelphia defense to a defensive showcase. Stevenson and the rest of Team Philadelphia’s defense held the opposition to two goals in four games and only 52 shots on goals in all four games (13 shots against per game). 

Jake Chromcik, North Jersey Bandits
With four goals and five points in this Showcase, Chromcik stood out offensively– and not just from his 6’2 frame. The left-handed shot defender not only was stellar with the puck, but was able to use his size to keep the opposition to the outside and limiting key chances against the Bandits. 

GOALIE
Aidan Holycross, St. James (Showcase)
In two games of action, Holycross faced 47 total shots and only let two behind him. With a GAA of 1.00 and a save percentage of .957, Holycross helped St. James with two of their three wins of the Showcase. 

Shane Brannick, Atlantic City Sharks
Brannick faced plenty of pucks this weekend, stopping 112 of 118 shots in just over three games this weekend with a stat line of 1.80 GAA and a .949 save percentage. Helping the Sharks to three wins on the weekend, Brannick also assisted on the game-winning goal in the team’s last game of the Showcase.

New Jersey Bandits vs. Grundy Senators, Friday October 22nd: Starting off the Showcase are the second and third place teams in the standings. It will be a rubber match, as well, as each team has a win over the other this season. New Jersey’s Theo Herman comes into the Showcase with a seven-game point streak, while Evan Pierri, Jason Kilpatrick, and Liam Ahern have three points a piece against Grundy on the season. Grundy’s Christopher MarshallPatryk Oszer, and Shane Hicks have been big offensive factors, combining for 28 goals, though they only have four goals against the Bandits this season. Sean Rue and Lucas Gonzalez have contributed well from the blue line with four goals from the back-end. 

North Jersey Avalanche vs. Team Philadelphia, Saturday October 23rd: Tied in points in the standings, North Jersey and Philadelphia will take on each other for the first time this year. North Jersey boasts a solid defensive game, with goalies Tyler Um and Ryan Felenstein only allowing 14 goals in their seven match-ups. They’ve gotten aid from Juno MoonAiden Chun, and Andrew Sherland, who have patrolled their defensive end to help the low-scoring output from the opposition. Philadelphia will test out the Avalanche defense, with Bradan Fisher and Michael O’Connor both coming into the Showcase with three-game point streaks. Declan Herr and Kevin Lang have provided solid vision coming out of their zone, with Lang leading the defense in assists with three.

Rockets Hockey Club vs. Atlantic City Sharks, Saturday October 23rd: Two teams who are close in the standings and close in their goals-for and goals-against. Rockets’ forward Rhone Armijo is coming into the Showcase with a six-game point streak, racking up 10 goals and an assist in those six games. Andrew Summa led Rockets Hockey Club with a goal and an assist  in the previous meeting this year between the two teams. Paul Lavigna and Connor Flynn lead the way for Atlantic City, putting up a combined 13 goals on the season, with Flynn scoring twice against Rockets previously this year.

The division leader in goals and points, Mitchell has had an offensive explosion to start the season. Through eight games, he has 27 goals and 35 points. This translates to a scoring pace of nearly 4 goals and 4.5 points per game. The shooting talents of Mitchell are remarkable, finding ways to score from any position in the offensive zone. Look for Mitchell and the Sharks to continue their powerful attack.

.

Leonard Rybakov – New Jersey Stars

Rybakov has displayed his talents as a high-scoring forward throughout this season. On offense, he is averaging 2.5 points per game (16 G, 9 A) through his first 10 games.

He has scored two hat tricks this season, one against New Jersey and another against Jersey Shore Wildcats Red, in which he scored four times. In both of these games, his final goal was the game winner. Not only does he score with regularity, but Yinger scores when his team needs it most.

.

.

Defense

.

Colton Dreyfus – Royals Hockey Club National

A goal per game coming from the blue line is an excellent commodity to have, and this is exactly what the Royals have in Dreyfus. He has scored 7 goals and 4 assists in seven games this season. His offensive talents were on display right from the start, as he scored 4 goals and added an assist in the season opener vs. Jersey Shore. He is currently on a 5-game point streak and will look to extend it this weekend.

.

Luca Guarna – Jersey Shore Wildcats Black

A two-way defenseman gifted with a powerful shot, Guarna is the glue at the back for this Wildcats team.  Through six games this season, Guarna has 11 goals and 5 assists, so he is scoring at a rate of nearly 2 goals per game. In addition to his great offensive talents, he has also shown his skill in his own half of the ice, locking down attackers and helping Jersey Shore to become one of the division’s more defensively sound teams.

.

Goalies

.

Johnny Gillin – Haverford Hawks White

An athletically gifted net minder, Gillin leads the division in several goalie categories. Over six games this season, he leads the way in GAA (0.50) and SV% (.956). He only has one official shutout, but has been in net to contribute to flawless defensive efforts three times. His best performance came in an 18-save shutout against New Jersey Bandits National, but he will look to surpass it this weekend.

.

Riley McIntosh – Igloo Jaguars

The Jaguar’s saving grace in the crease, McIntosh has been stellar through five games this season. In those five games, she has posted a GAA of 2.30 and SV% of .910. Standing only 4’6”, 64 lbs, Riley has to rely on pure athleticism to make stops in goal. She has done so with great success and will hope to continue to backstop the Jaguars towards the top of the league.

Atlantic City Sharks vs. Haverford Hawks White – October 23, 9:45 AM

The division’s top two teams are set to do battle to get their showcase under way on Saturday. Atlantic City (8-0-0) sits in second place after going undefeated through their first eight games this season. Their offensive attack has been nearly uncontainable this season, scoring 84 goals. Three players lead the way with double-digit goal tallies and at least 20 points. Haverford (9-1-0) sits in first place with outstanding defense, only allowing 9 goals through their opening 10 games.

In a classic battle of defensive game plan vs. offensive attack, only one can win.

.

Team Philadelphia vs. New Jersey Stars – October 24, 7:30 AM

They are led offensively by Trey Frederico, as he has 10 goals and 9 assists on the season. They also have solid team defense, allowing no more than 6 goals in a game this season.
