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 …
Season of hard work ends in fun for Buffalo juniors
Trevor Conschafter may have been the hardest worker on the St. Joe’s Fed team this season. After a win in early February, coach Rich Crozier told the rest of his team as much and praised Conschafter for his hard work as well as his attitude. A quiet player, Conschafter sneaked right up to the top of the St. Joe’s statistics …
‘Like a no-hitter in baseball’: St. Joe’s allows just 4 shots in win over St. Francis
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 …

With sophomore Danny Mikolajczak established as the starting goaltender, St. Joe’s coach Rich Crozier needed someone who could not just back …

‘More Greco’: Greco and Conschafter score in St. Joe’s OT win
Mike Greco wasn’t supposed to play against Timon. He scored the game-winning goal. That earned him another game Friday night against Orchard Park. He doesn’t usually play on the power play. Friday he did, and he scored the game-tying goal with less than three minutes remaining in regulation. St. Joe’s went on to win 2-1 with an overtime goal from …
‘Buckle your seatbelts’: St. Joe’s and Kenmore East tie in OT
Kenmore East has skill; what the Bulldogs lack is depth. That’s to be expected, as Kenmore East is a small school playing in a large school division this season. Sometimes, the skill is enough. Sunday night against St. Joe’s, it wasn’t. But the game was also another example of any team winning on any given night, as this year’s coaches …
