Well right now I would have to say that East and Henderson are the front runners for the final game. Hendersons ia the 2 seat and Malvern the 1 seat is gone and Henderson faired well in there first game winning comfortable. Both games tomorrow should be real good ones with a town rivalry game that also happens to be two of the best A level teams in the state. And a game between the very good teams of Perkiomen Valley and Stoga.

Perk Valley played Conestoga twice in the Annual Christmas Tourney at Iceline in December, winning both low-scoring games. Tonight's game should be one of the best games of the play-offs!

Yes. They came into the play-offs seeded 3rd, with a 14-3-1 record against a schedule that contained 10 opponents who were over .500. They also have 3 of the top 20 points scorers in the league and their goaltender is considered by many observers to be the top, or at least one of the top couple, goaltender(s) in the ICSHL. They can be beaten and have been. But they can never be taken lightly by any opposing team!

It could be anyones game. Perk and Stoga are both decent teams and they both almost lost to the first teams they played in the tourney. Its all about who comes ready to play. As for Peks goalie being the top I dont agree with that, I would probaly put him top 5 though. Allthough cause of his size he might move up a couple if your asking me potential.

Big SHSHL games as well. North Penn vs Pennridge and CR North vs CR South.
Thats actually not true for goaltending in this league. Theres not a whole lot of puck movement around the net and only a few kids who can really shot so if your big meaning tall not fat, you can stay deep in your net and do pretty well. Where if your small and you try that its not going to work.

No they really dont. I mean compared to other teams in the league they might seem to but compared to juniors or college not even close.

I was talking goaltenders. If your talking players in this league all you need is speed. Theres hardly and physical play. Look at Milana hes like a buck 30 and hes the top scorer in the ICSHL. Obviously it helps to have both like Slagis and even Latta to an extent (Not tall but very stong for his size and runs kids over all the time) but it is not necessary.
