Thanks, I see that Tampa is not attending, any reason here?

[Chapwi]

Would you want to play Rowan Brockport or Nuemann if you didnt have to??

[rshock73]

Tampa and Kennesaw are going to St. Louis Feb. 20-21.

[hockeykid12]

Well true I wouldn't want to either but if they make the effort to go play in your backyard you should show. Gvs gets screwed as no top team went to Pitt this coming wkend, ashame the top six teams couldn't have worked something out to go at one spot. Looks like an easy ecrha matchup going to Virginia.

Northern Virginia isn't exactly in Tampa's back yard. In terms of traveling, Mason would do much better dangling the ECRHA than SECRHL

[hockeykid12]

Yeah your right Tampa isn't exactly close, it'll be interesting to see how gmu fairs against good teams from the east.

[Chapwi]

Northern Virginia isn't exactly in Tampa's back yard. In terms of traveling, Mason would do much better dangling the ECRHA than SECRHL

Why is that?

[MasonHockey]

Would you want to play Rowan Brockport or Nuemann if you didnt have to??

YES! George Mason does want to play all the top teams. We are grateful that Brockport, Rowan, Neumann, and Shippensburg are coming down to play us. (as a Niagara Falls native, and Niagara University alumni I can appreciate the Brockport drive having done it myself countless times) Mason itself has travelled 9 hours to Savannah, GA, 9 hours to Snellville, GA , and 6 hours to Colombia, SC this year.

That said I think it's unfair to say "Why isn't Tampa coming?" Tampa had committed to St. Louis long before Neumann Rowann and Brockport committed to Virginia.

As a team we always request to play the top teams at any weekend event we are going to. It is this strategy that helped us climb up the rankings http://ircnationalrankings.blogspot.com/ We also believe it will help us grow our program which is only in it's second year.

I feel bad for Grand Valley State. Each player at George Mason did plan on going to Pittsburgh at the beginning of the year. One issue is that we didn't originally plan on going to Colombia, SC and were added a few days before after a team backed out, giving us 3 tournaments. The other issue, is as a team we didn't budget correctly at the beginning of the year and the increased cost of making Regionals and possibly Nationals is going to be a unexpected direct cost to our players. Given the fact that a plane ticket to San Jose is roughly $250 per player we needed to back out. Due to the fact that this tournament would have been in addition to the 4 regular season tournaments we are going to play in the SECRHL, which includes the upcoming Chantilly ECRHA -SECRHL Cross-Regional in our backyard, the Pittsburgh tournament would have been an additional cost to us.

Bottom line: because we were 2-11-2 last year we didn't budget for Regionals let alone Nationals. If Nationals were on the East Coast we would have gone to Pittsburgh, but with Nationals across the country we simply had to cut our budget. Next year we will budget for 6 or 7 tournaments (4 SECRHL, 1 Cross-Regional, and regionals and possibly nationals, not just 4 league tournaments.

See you all in a month.

[Patn Lawton]

Why is that?

The rinks in Pennsylvania are typically 3-4 hours away...compared to 1-2 trips to Georgia per year which takes much longer.

After-thought: V-tech, JMU, and some other VA teams I can't think of right now used to be ECHRA but switched over to SECRHL 3-4 years ago. Not sure why the switch was made.

I was unaware you guys have made such an improvment from last year thats awesome. And i like to see the competitive nature. Should be some really good tests for you at this event. Its to bad Tampa couldnt make it that would have been great.

[CSteamer]

Tampa to Winchester is a 15 hour drive. So they most likely would have had to fly and they are already committed to the St. Louis tourny. Good luck to GMU this weekend.

[Missionhockey12]

We (Tampa) would have loved to come to VA for this inter regional tournament. We had it planned since last year to go to STL. This will be our second year in a row going to STL. Our team has a hissy fit every time we have to drive 7 plus hours to Snellville Georgia.. I couldnt imagine a 15 hour drive to VA. Would have been nice to see some other competition but then again thats why we are going to STL. If you look at our roster 100% of our team is from the east coast.. NJ, NY, DE, CT and PA.. some people on our team are sick of going home.. which is why I chose to go to "school" aka vacation at the University of Tampa;)

the next incoming freshman class were getting 3 or 4 guys who are really good so look for the improvement to keep continuing next year!

I am going to GMU next year and majoring in dangles.

[show2606]

Pat, the legends of your dangles still loom in the halls of Brockport. I feel like no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to fill those shoes.

[PureHockey111]

I am going to GMU next year and majoring in dangles.

I dont know if Mason is quite ready for those dangles yet... although i will gladly share a sandwich on the bench with you between shifts. of course no mayo on then, what danglers munch on. oh that and ankles of course.

[William Bourque]

I am going to GMU next year and majoring in dangles.

If you are going to GMU, I will have to go to another school so that we can have a battle royal on who is worse like the glory days...

...I am also still under the impression that I should have gotten that penalty shot against Brockport at nationals in North Carolina.

PS - Alumni game being held at Regionals this year...more to come next week.

[BLowe7]

ECHRA is doin work so far..Neumann took down George Mason, and Ship beat ECU..

Interesting. Gmu gets slaughtered by Neumann but beats Rowan 5-3

I heard the Neumann game was a lot closer (which is also evidenced by shots) but I wasn't there.

[rer71]

I heard the Neumann game was a lot closer (which is also evidenced by shots) but I wasn't there.
The game was a lot closer than the score shows, however, Neumann converted on about 90% of their scoring chances whereas GMU hardly converted on any. By the way, #9 on Neumann is sick.

[hockeykid12]

I watched the game too, I dont think it was all that close, Neumann seemed to carry the play and control the puck, if time of possession was kept, neumann would have had an unthinkable amount of time.

[William Bourque]

Really shocked to see that many people think that GMU had the run of the play, I feel that it went differently and Neumann was the better/faster/deeper team.


The GMU/Rowan game was fun to watch, Rowan controlled the majority of the game, except GMU capatialized on every chance they had. GMU's goalie played an outstanding game in goal and was easily the best player on the rink, congrats to him. GMU played outstanding defense and it ultimitley is what won the game for them.


Shippensburg scored an own goal with the goal pulled on the delay against Elon...:eek:

[BEEZERAL]

for those of you there. why do u think GMU was dominated by neumann, but was able to beat Rowan?

[William Bourque]

They played better defensivley against Rowan than they did against Neumann. The goalie also had a much better game against Rowan. You have to give GMU credit for rebounding and playing a much better game in the nightcap.

[Chapwi]

Rowan came out very flat against GMU. Actually gave a goal in 20 seconds. As time went on Rowan started to take over more and more but GMU's goalie played a great game while they finished on their low percentage chances. Rowan was looking to make a comeback in the end but pentaltys ulitmately killed them. Also Rowan was very short benched...8 total i believe. No excuses tho.

As for the Neumann game, i agree Neumann out played them and controlled the game and as from previous weekends they had their full roster.

[GMU18]

Interesting. Gmu gets slaughtered by Neumann but beats Rowan 5-3

Only a slaughter on the scoreboard, many weak goals and posts. We outshot them badly in first two periods but couldn't score. It was 4 - 1 after two and our coach started playing the third line, so we got outplayed in the third.

[hockeykid12]

From what I saw you guys got outplayed for 36 minutes. Why would you throw in the towel for the third period at only 4-1? And shots on goal are never calculated right

not to make excuses but we actually had 7 guys.. an extra guy came for that game, we only had 6 for the first one

[Patn Lawton]

Sounds like that was a coaching decision. Onto other news...Brockport 8 GMU 4. It was 5-4 until Brockport ran away with it in the third period. Pohl played well in net for most of the game and Keyes struggled in net for Bport. Overall Bport definitely had more shots, quality scoring opportunities, and had the puck longer. A few mental lapses allowed Bport to pull away in the third (bad change, throwing the puck up the middle to clear it).

[GMU18]

From what I saw you guys got outplayed for 36 minutes.


GMU hockey plays differenly than most of my previous hockey teams. Our team consists of all the same guys from last season (2-13-1) against the weak teams in the SECRHL. This year we picked up five players, The lensing brothers, myself, mike zyuzin, and most importantly jordan pohl.
Since many of the teams we face are faster than the majority of our players we conceed puck control in favor of strong inzone defense attempting to limit high quality scoring chances, leaving long shots for pohl to simply clean up. We look for quick breaks and individual efforts to score goals, and on the rare occuation that our top 4 are out together we generally take it to any team.

This weekend zyuzin was hurt, this really hurt our team as he's a key player able to out skate any of the teams we faced this weekend.

Overall i count this weekend as a success other than the Neumann game. Hope to see all these guys again at nationals.

[BEEZERAL]

IMO GMU showed that the secrhl can skate with the ecrha. While there is no doubt in my mind that the ecrha is a better overall conference, I think that the top of the secrhl can hang with the ecrha

[dan sangiorgio]

based on the results i think its safe to say that the ecrha will have 4 teams going nationals. as far as gmu goes i think they will be a competitive team at nationals but not a contender. i see tampa has won in close games vs the top 2 in great plains so i would add tampa and the top 2 mizz schools along with four from ecrha for top contenders for d2.

I agree and disagree. The ecrha locked up 4 teams going to nationals and the secrhl locked up 3. I think gmu can compete for the championship. They won't be favored in a rematch with brockport even at full strength but if pohl plays well anything can happen. Gmu and ut both have excelent goalies and if either gets hot in Cali, anything can happen.

[dan sangiorgio]

of course with a hot goalie and some luck gmu could go on a run considering no team has stepped out as clear favorite. not just good goaltending but "hot" goaltending at nationals has proved true of a few upsets at nationals umsl over lindenwood and slu over neumann are games that with out there already good goalies catching fire would never had happened.

[MasonHockey]

I think this board is kind of funny. It seems like every time George Mason wins (we are 13-3), and then if you read this board it was some fluke or that the result was the exception to what normally would happen if the teams were to meet again ("it was our first game", "we only had 7 guys","our goalie had a bad game, but POHL played like a god) and then when we lose it's as if the "real" George Mason showed up , but naturally the other team had a bad game but still managed to win because they are just so superior. It's as if we should totally ignore our 13 wins and just focus on our 3 losses (D1 NCSU, Brockport, Neumann). I'm starting to think a bunch of you are delusional.

I'm not sure what people were expecting from us considering we try not to talk trash and we were 2-13-1 last year, our first year as a club. I guess it's just the nature of the forum, but I think it's pretty disingenuous to say that Neumann had a ungodly amount of possession time the whole game and that we were outworked for 36 minutes. We admittedly started very poorly, but if you look at the box score and our shots our 2nd period against them we had near 5:30 minutes of PP time, on which I believe we hit 4 posts. Yet, on here you guys make it sound like we didn't touch the puck and that the scorekeeper keeping shots was drunk. I will admit that after the second period we decided it wasn't our game and that we decided to play our backup goalie and third line a lot. Given Neumann's deep bench (3+ lines) it didn't seem like we could comeback from the 4-1 deficit. We decided to rest our guys for the Rowan game that night and the Brockport & Shippensburg games Sunday, considering we had the toughest schedule of the weekend (with ECU) having to face all the ECRHA teams, while the ECRHA teams only had to face 1 other SECRHL team that will make the SECRHL regionals (ECU). I think it worked out fairly well considering we beat Rowan and Shippensburg. The Neumann we saw this weekend was the best team I ever saw in D2 and Marrioti is a joy to watch when your not on the opposing bench :). Coming into this weekend it seemed like they were the 3rd best team between (Brockport, Rowan, and then Neumann) based on results from last weekend. However, after watching this weekend Neumann was the class of the weekend. As I was watching them play the other teams it just didn't seem like we would have very good odds of beating them if we played again. Granted I know we could have a better showing than we did (it would have been tough to have much worse).

I think we played Brockport pretty well but just fell short. It was a 1 goal game with 8 minutes left to go, and the 8-4 final is a little tainted by the Brockport goal with 0.6 seconds to go. I don't think we would beat them in a 7 game series, but I don't think they would sweep us either. As a former Buffalonian and Niagara University Ice Hockey player I wanted to beat them pretty bad, but I'll be rooting for them at ECRHA regionals.

Rowan seemed flat this weekend. They had really good positional play and puck possession and you can tell their best players were experienced 21 and 22 year olds as compared to our top players who are 18 year old freshmen. Although they were missing guys, those guys were at the bottom of their stat sheet. However, I'm sure we will hear how about how good they are and how they would have beat us with more guys (as if it's our fault their players don't play) and how everyone should just ignore the fact that one of our top players Mike Zyuzin was out, because clearly we wouldn't have been a better team with a Potomac Mavericks Travel player.

Shippensburg was a very classy team with some really good individual players. Obviously they didn't go 13-6 in the ECRHA with a bunch of scrubs.

Overall I thought the weekend went pretty well. The top 4 ECRHA teams beat the non-top 4 SECRHL teams and Mason played a competitive game vs. Brockport and beat Rowan and Shippensburg which should boost them in the rankings. It also gave the GMU freshmen some good experience and the opportunity to prove they can beat and play competitively with some of the better ECRHA teams. It also shows that we have a long way to go to get to the status Neumann was at this weekend.

I can't help but wonder what these boards were to say if Rowan beat GMU and GMU got selected for Nationals as the #2 SECRHL seed for Nationals. Actually, I'm sure we'll hear all the same comments as they attempt to "spin" about how Rowan is more "deserving" to get selected than GMU to nationals, regardless of the head-to head result because clearly the head to head results don't matter when you are on the losing side of it. Remember last week when some suggest we should see 6 teams from the ECRHA? I mean heck we're not even as good as FSU, just ask FSU. http://inlinehockeycentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34099&page=3

Seriously though I'd like to wish good luck to all the ECRHA teams we played at their regional.

damn, coming strong today mason. U guys definately showed you can skate with the best. like i said in an earlier post. Its like the SECism in CFB, if you arent in the ECRHA you don't have a shot. You did what needed to be done, represent the SECRHL well, and pretty much locked up spots in nationals for UT, GMU, and UM. Those 3 teams are the class of the SECRHL and should all receive bids to nationals.

[CSteamer]

Ok buddy. I just wasted 10 mins of my life reading that. Its an informal message board where people talk trash. I think Mason did a pretty good job this weekend from the results I have seen. Missing Zyuzin probably hurt you guys I'm sure. If you have a good showing at Regionals I'm sure you will make Nationals and be a very competitive team there.

Losing 9-2 is a pretty big loss, but as seen so far in some SECRHL games, a big loss is not always indicative of a team's talent level. We (UCF) beat NCSU by 7 goals twice earlier in the year and have since lost two 1-goal games to them and beat them 4-3.

Good luck in regionals.

[PureHockey111]

Personally i feel like neumann was the best of the 3 ecrha teams at the box today. their depth is matched with their speed and they just plain know how to finish. Still dont know how Brockport beat Neumann, granted Brockport is a good team as well but come regionals or nationals if they do play each other i feel like Neumann will win. Oh and if anyone saw the Mason v. Brockport game, what happened with the goalie's angles on those first couple goals? Hes a great goalie and all but i had a double take on both those goals like i couldnt believe he was that off lol.

those guys at "the bottom of our stat sheet" are dmen. just saying- also one of them was mike keating lol

[Missionhockey12]

skeets is an amazing pick up.. didnt even realize he was on the roster.. best shot blocker in the league hah SKEEEEEEETS

[hockeykid12]

looks like for the first time all season neumann brought there whole team to play. mariotti and klenk showed up together. last week it was said here that mariotti wasnt at the games

[show2606]

The Pat Keyes that played against GMU was not his usual self. I saw both shots that he had bad angles on and I have never seen him even do that once in two years playing with him. I am not making excuses, and I don't care to because we won. But given another game against GMU i would predict closer to 10-2. My hat is off to them for playing us hard though. And Rowan with their whole team would win a 7-game series against GMU no problem.

[Chapwi]

Congrats to GMU on the win over Rowan. Being on Brockport and playing against the top teams....West chester, Neumann and Rowan. Playing against GMU did not bring the same challenge or intensity that i saw against the other 3 teams. Each of our 3 tough games in the Ecrha i could see us losing if things went the slighest bit differently. But in my opinion i could not see our team dropping a lose to GMU, unless their missing player makes a huge difference.

Like it has been said our goalie was completely not himself in that game. Although he did show up for the third and made a spectacular save in the 2nd i believe. the goals that were let in are just not mistakes i see him making again.

Also Brockport leading a game in my opinion is a much different team then Brockport down a goal or two.

Naturally you think, the ECRHA teams/players simply had bad games vs. us and would beat us worse or beat us if it was a different day. I mean you guys clearly walk on water.

Just keep discounting teams outside the ECRHA and stroking your egos.

Personally, I think you Brockport, Rowan, and Shippensburg were lucky Tampa and Miami didn't show up to Chanilly, VA this weekend. Otherwise, you would have a lot less free time on your hands inventing excuses.

Listening to you guys is like listening to Global Warming Advocates. It's Global Warming if the earth gets warmer and there are droughts, or it gets colder and it snows and rains a lot, or if it stays the same.

I guess I should just realize that every team in the ECRHA is just always better, if they won by 4 (8-4) it should have been 8 (10-2 Really?). If you beat them you should have lost to them. If they had a bad game and you witnessed it, it was the only time... Do you guys have a rolodex full of these excuses so you don't reuse them too much?

I would suggest you guys focus on how your going to stop Neumann with Marriotti at the ECRHA regionals.

First off i would like to point out that WE won. by 4 actually. But for some reason you guys seem to think that you are right there with the best in the East. And thats where i disagree. Neumann beat you 9-2 in no way is that a close game. Yes im fully aware they had their full roster with Mariotti and all. And yes they are a very good team with a full roster...and if you played them 20 times i see you guys maybe winning once. And for against us (Brcokport) to be honest I cant see you guys beating us either.

As for Rowan, i didnt think they played nearly as good as they should have. And apparently you guys jumped on them and gave them a loss congrats. But if Rowan comes out playing like i saw they play us or Neumann and im assuming westchester although i did not see the game. i once again dont think you guys could hang. The excuses in my opinion come out saying we would have won by more and such because you guys think your right there with us and in my opinion your not.

As for us focusing on Neumann for Regionals your right, that will be a toguh game their a really solid team. As for you maybe you should focus on finding a nice restaurant in San Jose to take Mariotti out to when were all at nationals.

But yes Mariotti is very vey very good. but i dont think its like saying were playing Lebron James and the Cavaliers. Neumann has an all around solid team. And we will do our best to be ready for them at regionals.

The Neumann vs. Brockport game will be a great game all around and i cant wait to see who comes out on top. i feel one thing neumann has over brockport is a better first line and more depth, although it would come down to goalies and how they both play probably. jeez i say the brockport goalie had an off angle on some of the shots and the whole team comes. i know hes a great goalie look at his stats, they are great and he point blank robbed one of our players twice. i agree we would lose a 7 game series but 10-2 for a final score? i would expect it to be closer than that. as for rowan i still see them finishing 3rd even if you guys still say they are that godly aparently. good luck at regionals guys.

[show2606]

do you think a broken finger and badly bruised elbow may have had some impact on the way I played this last weekend? My money is on yes.

[TourFLA98]

Ok buddy. I just wasted 10 mins of my life reading that. Its an informal message board where people talk trash. I think Mason did a pretty good job this weekend from the results I have seen. Missing Zyuzin probably hurt you guys I'm sure. If you have a good showing at Regionals I'm sure you will make Nationals and be a very competitive team there.

Losing 9-2 is a pretty big loss, but as seen so far in some SECRHL games, a big loss is not always indicative of a team's talent level. We (UCF) beat NCSU by 7 goals twice earlier in the year and have since lost two 1-goal games to them and beat them 4-3.

Good luck in regionals.

lol ur the man caudy

yes I wish we werent playing neumann in round robin but i gotta say you guys are a little off with mariotti- hes obviously top 3 dmen in ecrha but i think you guys just didnt have the skating ability to keep up with him which is why he dominated so easily. you guys are a slow team which is why you guys play a different style (not bashing you- saying it makes sense for you guys to play more of a zone/box when you're outmatched by 1v1 skill) . mariotti is great but not as dominant against the better skating teams. and thanks for the advice even though we've beaten neumann with him a couple times- its not like we dont know what hes capable of

[hockeykid12]

sitting back in a box/zone does not work well when playing a team like neumann or west chester, they control control control, then just pass pass pass and then finish. the teams are too good to play box against

[PureHockey111]

If you watch the west chester vs. brockport game west chester had the possession for most of the game and really controlled the play while brockport either sat back or just never really touched the puck too much, however brockport did win the game:eek: not sure if they played a zone or just capitalized on their chances and had an amazing performance out of their goalie.

I dunno why my team is so mariotti happy, yes he beat some of our weaker defenseman badly. But honestly his moves were completely useless against our top defenseman and will be just as useless against rowan (not to put him down, just saying that no one has a high rate of "dangling" at the top levels)... At higher levels its strictly a team game and one player really can't do it all themselves.

A game which two periods in is 5 - 4 is a close game. We play the game the way we have to, very defensively, you should remember how this is done cause it will be you doing it if you play us next year.

[hockeykid12]

GMU you beat a short handed rowan team, brockport didnt play well and still beat you when you say you played your best game, and neumann completely dismantled you. you guys are big with the youtube videos, any chance you got those games? if you did you would realize by watching it again you really arent as big as you guys talk. Mariotti still dangles the top of the league, most part successfully and makes the other teams know when he is out there, same thing with keene from wcu, he just isnt as flashy. If rowan was missing keating thats taking away one of the better dmen in the country. GMU continues to tell how awesome they are and will be next year, thats dandy, if this was next year maybe you will be but still is unlikely you will be able to compete with the east teams next year aswell, maybe you should move to the ECRHA and see if you can crack the Top 3 or 4 in the league, unlikely. So stop talking about this and that and forget about the rough weekend you had cause i garuntee rowan would beat you if you played them again, and neumann and brockport will more then definitly dismantle you again. Talk is cheap.

You act like you have been to every one of our games, let me just add that we were missing one of our top four players and I personally was out there with a broken forearm. Everyone has injuries and is missing people. Get over it. We were 2-2 this last weekend, against some of the best teams in the nation. How is that a rough weekend?You are an idiot.

By the way, since you talk such a big game, care to share who you are? Do you even PLAY hockey? Or just sit on inlinehockeycentral and jerk off?

That statement about donny is not even close to reality, his moves against any one are deadly, and for rowan vs gmu, granted we had 7 guys, and controlled most of the game ,and out shot you guys. you guys finished on every oppurtunity and your goalie played out of his mind, no excuses a win is a win, hope to play you at nationals

[Hockey Coach]

based on the results i think its safe to say that the ecrha will have 4 teams going nationals. as far as gmu goes i think they will be a competitive team at nationals but not a contender. i see tampa has won in close games vs the top 2 in great plains so i would add tampa and the top 2 mizz schools along with four from ecrha for top contenders for d2.

You should have made the trip to VA, good time was had by all.

And why in the world would you make the assumption that we will need to do this next year?

[WCURH21]

Its a team game, bottom line. Deepest team wins (Goalie Included). Every team has the point-getter's, the best team has the role players. Hot tender takes anyone to the 'ship. See you there?

If your team is on the bubble, go win regionals.

such a ridiculous statement. they are the best defensive team we've played against, two seasons in a row. I'm sure they wont need to watch your youtube videos to learn how to play. wow i really cant wait til nationals

[Patn Lawton]

You guys are really Tomy Ames-ing the message boards. Only a handful of people will understand that.

[GMULensing7]

gmu continues to give reasons why they didnt play there best games. missing people or not, you guys arent as good as you talk

we said that we wanted to go 1-3 this weekend. we went 2-2 and was very happy with it. so how are we talking ourselves up? yea we got smashed by neumann, whether or not you call it lucky we still beat a great rowan team, then lost to a really great brockport team that granite their goalie didn't play that well but we still hung with them and it was a great game up until the 3rd, then beat a shipp team handily. you keep saying come play in ECRHA and see what happens, well we just did. what do you think we are trying to do next year? why do you think we even held this tournament? we were the ones inviting those teams down cause we dont want to just walk through the season with no competition. we want to play great teams that go win nationals. so thanks to all the teams that came down(or up), great tournament and hope to see you at nationals. o and the youtube videos will prob be up in a few weeks hockeykid12, so instead of talking about your team and what they like to add to the league you can continue to just criticize everyone elses.

at least our 4 made it to the game, if we didnt (top 4 scorers) that game would definitely would be a lot different. hopefully at nationals we can play you guys with a full roster.

Dan, there is going to be one at Regionals, 11am, just before the DI Championship Game, DII Championship game will follow that. Look for information on the ECRHA Website soon.
