A new week begins on the ice, and JSZ has plenty of highlights for you from all over the Garden State!
Chatham 5 Morristown 2
With their starting varsity goalie and backup goalie both out of the lineup due to an illness, the Cougars had to turn to emergency backup goalie Roman Kostrowski for a big divisional matchup. The result? 10 saves and a win against Morristown (1-1). Kostrowski earned the win for Chatham (2-0) thanks to some great defense in front of him and loads of offense. Doyle Curry led the way with a pair of goals in the win.

Princeton 6 Notre Dame 1

Cooper Zullo and Gabe Silverstein scored the game’s first goals in the second period to put the Little Tigers up 2-0. Notre Dame got on the board early in the third off a Dylan Peter’s goal, but Princeton scored four times to close out the game.
