KINGS PARK, N.Y.— An 0-2 start to the 2021-22 season didn’t seem to faze Kings Park/Commack in their quest to the playoffs. From that point on, the club won eight of their next nine and finished third place with a 14-4-2 regular season record. An emotional victory over rival Smithtown/Hauppauge in the quarterfinals gave them…

CENTEREACH, N.Y.— Coming into the 2021-22 season, Middle Country had their eyes set on making it to the postseason. That vision wouldn’t go their way as the Cougars concluded their season winning five games and finishing 11th place out of 14 teams in the Varsity division. Combined with a few faces from last year, a…

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.— A perfect 4-0-0 start to the 2021-22 season had many believing that Ward Melville was destined to make the postseason. After all, three of those four wins came against eventual playoff teams. However, the Patriots would go on to finish with a 9-11-0 regular season record, finishing ninth and missing out on the…

WEST ISLIP, N.Y.— Things were looking great for West Islip to begin 2021-22 as they sat at 6-2-0 after eight games. When it was all said and done, their 11-8-1 regular season record was good for a seventh place finish, securing one of the last playoff spots. The Lions put together a three-game win streak…

EAST ISLIP, N.Y.— The boys over at East Islip Ice Hockey put together a memorable season in 2021-22. An opening night victory against Saint Anthony’s and a fourth place finish proved that this team could compete with anyone.

MELVILLE, N.Y.— After an extended hiatus from competing in the SCHSHL, the Saint Anthony’s Friars came back in 2021-22 and made a statement. The 136 goals scored by the Friars was the most amongst all 14 teams last season and their 15-win regular season resulted in a second place finish. Between their dynamic offense, electric…

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.— Out of all eight teams to qualify for the 2022 SCHSHL postseason, the Sachem Varsity Hockey Club was the only team that made it in with a sub .500 regular season record (9-10-1). Their reward? A first-round matchup with undefeated Northport/Huntington. After taking an early 1-0 lead, Sachem conceded four unanswered goals and…

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y.— On Jan. 31, the Smithtown/Hauppauge Bulls were 32 seconds away from a first-round date with East Islip in the postseason, a team they had beaten twice during the regular season. Instead, a game-tying tally by St Anthony’s Gavin Kata squashed that idea and gave the Bulls an entirely different matchup. A one-goal loss…
