'00 - '01 Varsity Ice Hockey Player of the Week
WEEK: November 26 - December 2, 2000
PLAYER: Ryan Guanzon
Hey, he scored the first goal of the season, who else
do you expect to be in this position? Not only was
Ryan productive in the offensive zone, but he was also
stiff in the defensive zone. Any coach will tell you,
defense is just as important as offense, if not more
so.
WEEK: December 3 - December 9, 2000
PLAYER: Scott Eberenz
One word can sum up Scott Eberenz's past week on the
ice: phenomenal. Not only did he score all three
goals for Seton Hall against Bergen Catholic, but he
continued his scoring streak against Hudson Catholic
by tallying one goal and two assists. In two games
this past week, Scott registered six points; that is
exceptional!
WEEK: December 10 - December 16, 2000
PLAYER: Nick Silvestri
If you work hard in practice, you will play well when
game time comes around. Nick Silvestri worked hard in
practice all week long, and as a result he played well
in both games this past week. Against Portledge, Nick
stood out by scoring a goal and adding an assist.
Many more productive weeks are in store for this
talented young man.
WEEK: December 17 - December 23, 2000
PLAYER: Alex Beatrice
This week's choice for player in the spotlight is a
no-brainer; with five goals and an assist against
LaSalle High School, Alex Beatrice is this week's
remarkable player.
WEEK: December 24 - December 30, 2000
PLAYER: Brian Romano
Considering there was only one game played this week,
the choice for peak performer was tough. After much
deliberation, Brian Romano has been given the title of
Player of the Week. He worked hard on defense, and he
even added a goal against St. Joe's Metuchen.
WEEK: December 31 - January 6, 2001
PLAYER: Jon Ralph
The second week in a row that a defenseman has earned
Player of the Week. This week's honor goes to
sophomore Jon Ralph who had two goals this week and
several assists.
WEEK: January 7 - January 13, 2001
PLAYER: Paul Fusco
Nothing sparked the Seton Hall Prep hockey team more
than Paul Fusco's huge goal to put the Pirates on the
board against Princeton Day School. Paul deserves
this honor based solely on that goal, not to mention,
he also scored a goal against Notre Dame earlier in
the week.
WEEK: January 14 - January 20, 2001
PLAYER: Jon Testa
Jon should've gotten this award before because he has
certainly earned it by now. He has worked hard on
defense all season long for the Pirates, and although
you may not see him rack up a lot of points, he makes
his presence known by doing the little things that
help his team win.
WEEK: January 21 - January 27, 2001
PLAYER: Mike Atkinson
This talented freshman had a stellar week scoring a
total of four goals and three assists in a two game
span. Keep an eye on this young man in the weeks to
come and in the years to come.
WEEK: January 28 - February 3, 2001
PLAYER: Ryan Collis
This young man is constantly raising the bar as the
season progresses. He scored the decisive goal
against Bergen Catholic this week; be sure to watch
him get better and better as time goes on.
WEEK: February 4 - February 10, 2001
PLAYER: E.J. Solimine
It's about time the team captain received some
recognition for his efforts. Truth be told, E.J. has
been working hard all season long, and he put on a
show this past week scoring four points against
St. John Vianney.
WEEK: February 11 - February 17, 2001
PLAYER: Brian Liguori
Filling in against Hudson Catholic, Brian played
a spectacular game stopping several odd-man rushes.
Look for this young man to get a lot more ice time
in the future, he is definitely worthy.
WEEK: February 18 - February 24, 2001
PLAYER: Geordan Murphy
Two goalies deserved this honor in back-to-back weeks.
This week Geordan certainly earned his keep by
pitching a shutout against Brick then allowing only
one goal against Bergen Catholic. All in all, Murphy
stopped 57 of 58 shots this past week; that is
sensational!
WEEK: February 25 - March 3, 2001
PLAYER: Stephen Hynes
Although he has no points to show for it, Stephen
was a hard-working, physical player in this
week's game against Don Bosco Prep. He has been with
the program for three years, and after this season
his high school hockey career will be over. He
certainly deserves the recognition for showing up to
play this week and in the past.
