When an injury ended Kellen Pulera’s 2017-18 hockey season prematurely, the St. Joe’s forward announced his retirement from the sport he’d been playing almost his entire life. He knew he had a future in lacrosse and didn’t want to hurt his chances by risking another injury. But after committing to Marist College in September 2018, Pulera began to rethink his …
Nate Berke was, in his own words, mad. He’d finished his junior season of Fed hockey at St. Joe’s with just two goals and five assists in 16 league games, and he didn’t get as much playing time as he would have liked. Berke knew he had one more year to show what he could do, and he spent his …
St. Joe’s hockey is known throughout the state for its success, and with the Marauders’ second consecutive Catholic State Championship Sunday (March 5), it’s no wonder. But although it was their goal from the beginning of the season, coach Rich Crozier and the St. Joe’s team worked hard to get to Sunday and knew they couldn’t quit until the end. …
Before St. Joe’s senior night game last season, then junior Mark Gilbert was informed that he’d be rotating on a line with a couple of other players, which would limit his playing time. Gilbert’s response was to work hard and score two goals in his limited ice time. This year, Gilbert is a senior. He still doesn’t get the most …
There were a couple of frustrated locker rooms at HarborCenter on Monday night. On one side was the defending Catholic state champion St. Joe’s with expectations of another successful season; on the other was a vastly improved Lancaster team with high expectations of its own. The two teams had just played to a 2-2 tie. The shots on goal were …
Last year at this time, St. Joe’s coach Rich Crozier was trying to figure out what went wrong. The year before, his Marauders had lost to Canisius in the Monsignor Martin finals, who went on to win the state championship. Crozier thought about it often during the following offseason, and he wasn’t sure what a new season held for his …
In the movie Space Jam featuring basketball legend Michael Jordan, the “Monstars” were a group of villains who stole the heroes’ athletic talent. In the Fattey Hockey League, a summer hockey league in Buffalo consisting of 12 teams who took monsters’ names as their own, the Monstars had enough talent of their own this summer. While the team contained talented …
There was one step left in St. Joe’s three-step program for the 2016 postseason. The Marauders had defeated St. Francis in the local semifinals, defeated rival Canisius in the finals, and on March 4 they boarded a bus to Brooklyn, New York to complete the final step on March 5 — defeat St. Anthony’s in the private school state finals. …
St. Joe’s coach Rich Crozier and his team hadn’t thought too much about last year’s heartbreaking loss to Canisius too often — just every day. The haunting loss made the Marauders want to win this year more than ever, and a year of hard work later, St. Joe’s came away with a 4-0 win on February 29 in the private …
What was it that was most impressive about St. Joe’s 8-0 win over St. Francis in Monday night’s private school semifinals? Was it the eight goals scored? The fact that seven different Marauders scored those eight goals? Or maybe that the St. Joe’s defense allowed just four shots on goal? St. Joe’s defenseman and captain August Cudeck was thrilled at …
