March 6 — The rosters of Division I college hockey teams consist almost entirely of players who have spent a year or two playing for “junior” hockey clubs. Only a very few players on these Division I clubs have entered college directly out of high school. As a result, the quality of college hockey has been enhanced, but this improvement has had a negative impact on the “student” part of the vaunted student-athlete experience.(hit link above--tx Mr. Pizzano)

Tough Ending To Great Year
03/04/08 Just when it seemed the Eagles would skate their way to Utica and the final four , a strong dose of reality in the form of a sudden death overtime loss to Sweet Home ended a great season. By now the details have been written in the TH-record and the hurt still resides with all those who care; yet detail will not overshadow a terrific season by the Varsity.A 17-5-2 record, winners of the Clarkstown Tournament , Section 9 Div 2 Champions, Section 9 overall Champions, and a class act finish in probably one of the most exciting games at IceTime in recent memory, highlighted the season.
No loss will diminish their accomplishments nor their representation of school and team.
Congratulations to the seniors and all the team members for accepting the challenge to excel and playing out their mantra ' The Time is Now' .................
Notes:
Jv and Varsity season is over--there will be a team pizza party late March or early April---There will be a School Awards dinner ( listen for details in school)---we are trying to secure some ice in April and May for team scrimmages ( all current players- varsity jv-new players will be invited ( if we can get a decent ice slot)....look for details.

TH-Record Preview:DIV 2 Quarterfinal
( SENIORS 08)
Division II state hockey quarterfinal preview: John S. Burke Catholic vs. Sweet Home
Division II state hockey tournament
What: John S. Burke Catholic (17-4-2) vs. Buffalo-area Sweet Home (15-8-4) in state quarterfinals
When: 3:15 p.m. today
Where: Ice Time, Newburgh
Admission: $4, $2 for students children
At stake: Trip to the Division II final four next weekend in Utica. The Burke Catholic-Sweet Home winner will play the Thousand Islands-Rye winner at 3:15 p.m. next Saturday. The final is 3:30 p.m. March 9.
How they got here
Burke Catholic beat James I. O'Neill 4-0 for the Section 9 Division II title on Feb. 20 at Ice Time. Sweet Home beat top-seeded Bishop Timon-St. Jude 2-0 on Sunday to win the Western New York Hockey Federation championship, as reported in The Buffalo News.
Talkin' hockey
Burke Catholic coach Al Trezza: "This group got better and better as the year went on. We don't have any superstars. We are doing things by way of (perfect) attendance in practice and coming to the games. And it's nice to have nine seniors.''
Keys to victory
Burke Catholic needs to show the same hunger it did in beating defending Division II state champion Monroe-Woodbury 1-0 for the Section 9 title last weekend. The win snapped Monroe-Woodbury's run of six straight sectional titles. Burke Catholic goalie Mike Beck has had a terrific season and will have to be on top of his game again. Ryan Marko is Sweet Home's all-time leading scorer. Goalie Rob Cattiglia was named most valuable player with 28 saves against Bishop Timon-St. Jude. "Our game is just hard work,'' Trezza says. "That's it. We play three lines, five to six defensemen, and we go out and work hard.''
