Merry Christmas from the Howell Hockey Blog!

By: Mark Ferrante

First off, we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's! Now lets get back to Hockey talk!

Take a look at our Christmas list!

I feel every item on our Christmas List is more than achievable.

The team currently is ranked 10th in the state, which is better than future opponents RBC (#17), Brick (#19), and Toms River South (#20).

Howell faces Ridge (#18) in the Bridgewater Holiday tournament on Tuesday @ Bridgewater @445.

Players thoughts on their record so far...............

"Were playing some great hockey so far, but we still need to work on some certain things. We have some tough tests coming up, we just need to play our Rebel hockey and we'll come out on top." - #14 Stephen Bernhardt

"The season has gone fairly well, everyone is excited for the rest of the season." - #33 Mike Kochenash

"Season has gone great so far, imagine what I would of said if we were 7-0, but theres no time to think about the past, gotta finish strong." - #29 Matt Morelli

Fans thoughts on the Rebels early success............

"Everyone is really pumped for the rest of the season, 6-1 so far, playing awesome, and they get Buckley in the lineup." - Mike Daniel

"Good start, time will tell how they do, the games only get tougher." - Max Gilbert

"I expect better crowds and good results in the second half of the season." - Ryan Bocchetto

"I think Howell Hockey's early dominance has officialy put them in the ranks as an elite hockey power house in the shore. But the best is yet to come, with due time Howell hockey will be a house hold name, Buckley is going to make a huge difference." - Tom Dunwoody
