Liter: "Anything less than a Shore Conference win is just inexcusable"
You can't keep a wild horse in a stable, nevermind an entire herd of them. The Marlboro Mustangs varsity ice hockey program (No. 36, 16-1 overall, 9-0 Shore D) charged into the 2010-11 season bucking and braying, beyond bitter the Shore Conference dumped them into the "D" division, the lowest rung of the local high school hockey ladder. Sparked by the perceived injustice and the offensive artillery of senior Geoffrey Liter, junior Michael Dorfschneider, sophomore Steve Sabatini and an entire cast of talented forwards, the Mustangs have developed into a highly efficient goal-scoring machine, despite head coach Wayne Anderson's claim that his team's approach is defense-oriented. Smooth-skating senior Jonathan Weinstein wears the captain's "C…

Andy Vovk pops home 2 for Manalapan; Patriots coach Celano: "We should have had four or five more goals"
WALL - The Freehold Township Patriots (2-10-3 overall, 0-5-1 Shore B) skated to a 4-4 tie with the Manalapan Braves (2-11-3 overall, 2-5-2 Shore C) in a Sunday evening game at Gold Coast Arena. The matchup was originally scheduled for Jan. 8, but was postponed due to snow. With two minutes remaining in the game and the Patriots leading 4-3, Manalapan's Thomas Caccia got a pass through to Conor Kreppein, who chipped the puck past Freehold Township goalie Sean Heck to tie the game up at 4-4. Heck says he was interfered with on the play. "I was following the puck and all of a sudden, a guy was on top of me," said Heck. "I tried to follow the puck but when you're in the back of the net, you're not going to make the save. The ref told me that …

Braves massacred by Warriors 13-3; Sophomore Caccia scores in 15th straight
WALL - The Manalapan Braves Ice Hockey team (2-9-1) suffered a 13-3 loss to the Manasquan Warriors (5-4-1) in a Shore Conference Class C game at Gold Coast Arena Saturday night. Shore area leading scorer Connor Grogan maintained his title with a Texas hat trick, punching in four goals for the Warriors. Thomas Caccia registered a goal and an assist for the Braves. Manalapan coach David Grippo chalked the shellacking up to the growing pains of a young team. "We only have 3 seniors out on the ice," Grippo said. "We have kids playing in positions that normally don't play that position. You can't teach or coach our lack of experience. You need to get it out there. So we're going to take our lumps this season and we're going to keep plugging …
