Ridgewood Would Not Be Any Easier!

12.22.13 Comets 3 - Ridgewood 7

Two tough teams two weeks in a row!  Not a perfect schedule, but one the Comets would have to face. And they would have to face Ridgewood with Thomas. As with Paramus Catholic, there was plenty of preparation, knowing that Ridgewood would also be a very tough opponent! However the Comets surprised RW by giving them a bit of a battle.

The Comets managed to keep the game very close, even only behind by one goal, as the Comets were behind 2-3, then 3-4. But again, with opponent having a deeper bench, Ridgewood was able to slowly pull away to a strong 3-7 win over the Comets. But as with Paramus Catholic, the Comets had a lot to be proud of, by giving Ridgewood a bit of trouble, while missing one of their better players! We'll just have to see how the next meeting goes!

No One Said It Would Be Easy!

12.15.13 Comets 0 - Paramus Catholic 7

There has been much talk about how strong Paramus Catholic and Ridgewood are this year. Both are at the top of the Comets Division. SO everyone knew the PC game was going to be tough. Last year PC had mercies the Comets with just over a minute left in the game. So this game was going to be … interesting.

The game actually started off with the Comets creating some pressure and even a few scoring opportunities. PC did not score until the later part of the 1st period. 0-1 by the end of the first.

The second period proved more difficult. PC came on stronger and managed to exploit a few opportunities the Comets gave up, and PC took a 0-4 lead into the 3rd Period. The Comets came out in the 3rd period playing hard, putting pressure on PC and again trying to create opportunities, but PC's bench proved too deep, and PC managed 3 more goals, finishing with a 0-7 lead over the Comets. Even though the Comets were shut out, they had a lot to be proud of. They had fought hard, and at least did better than last year!

Comets Do It Again!

12.08.13 Comets 7 - Dumont/Dem/NM 1

In the second meeting between the Comets and Dumont/Dem/NM, the Comets played a bit stronger, to come out with an even more decisive win. Ben was sidelined after a collision from the night before and Justin and Robbie Mandac were added to the rotation of players.

To make things even better, Thomas made his way back from another state to joint the team halfway through the game, and he looked very happy to be there. Scoring came from a variety of players, Robbie Marut netted a hat trick, and Ian, Evan, Thomas, and Alex all added one goal each.

In addition Steven came up big when he had to, and only let in one goal to help the team come away with a 7 to 1 win!

Now on to Paramus Catholic!

The Season Begins With a Bang!

12.07.13 Comets 4 - Dumont/Dem/NM 1

As the season got underway, the Comets faced a struggling Dumont/Dem/NM team. This was a great way for the Comets to get their "feet" wet, especially since they would be missing veteran Thomas Foschini. The Comets played well as a team and put together 4 very nice goals including 1 from Evan, 2 from Robbie M. and 1 from Dylan. 

Steve had a solid opening game with 17 saves almost getting a sit out!

The Comets would face  the Dumont/Dem/NM team again the very next night.
