Johnson Crusaders ice hockey skates to its first 10-0 start
Posted by: JR on January 8, 2009 at 2:42AM EST

For the first time in the history of the Johnson ice hockey program the Crusaders are a perfect 10-0.

          Johnson won for the 10th time without a defeat Wednesday night when it defeated Hackensack 8-2 at Warinanco Rink in Roselle.      

          Leading scorer and left wing Nick Villaverde paced the Crusaders with three goals and two assists.

          Senior forward Jozef Kapel scored two goals and assisted on three others to reach the 100 point career total.

          Johnson will next skate against perennial power Brick Township Saturday, Jan. 10, at 3:15 p.m. at Union Sports Arena in Union.

          Brick Township was 5-3-1 overall and 3-2-1 in Shore A league play heading into Tuesday’s scheduled contest against Red bank Catholic at the Red Bank Armory.

          Brick head coach Bob Auriemma coached his 1,000th game at the school Monday afternoon, which was a 9-0 league win over Toms River East at Ocean Ice Palace in Brick.

          The victory raised his record to 611-310-79.

          Brick is the only shore area team Johnson is scheduled to play in the regular season.

          Johnson’s next four games after Brick are all scheduled Union County Ice Hockey League matchups, beginning with a contest against Summit Jan. 13 at 6 p.m. at Warinanco.

          Johnson leads the newly formed UCIHL with a 3-0 mark, including league wins over Dayton, Summit and Cranford.
