First Team

Jakob Moleski, Bonner & Prendergast/Upper Darby: The Upper Darby senior was voted to the ICSHL second team and with good reason. Moleski led the area in goals with 42 in just 17 games. But it wasn’t just Moleski’s goal-scoring prowess that made him a standout. It was also his commitment to the sport in general. The team was a cooperative sponsorship between Bonner & Prendergast and its neighbor on Lansdowne Avenue and struggled with numbers all season, which meant Moleski played big minutes at both forward and defense. He relished the extra ice time and was a threat to score every shift. Moleski produced a dozen multi-goal games and finished his career with a six-goal, two-assist performance in a win over Interboro, Bonner’s third victory of the season.

Blayden Reid, Strath Haven: With 41 points during the regular season and eight in the Flyers Cup, one might have thought Reid, the top-scoring defenseman in the ICSHL, was a purely offensive blue-liner, but that wasn’t the case. The senior played every other shift and more for the Panthers the whole season and took on the toughest assignments. Reid eased that burden with fluid skating and an innate ability to close gaps and read plays. He did his best work on opponent’s blue lines, where he either shot pucks through traffic or stepped into space created by forwards Mike Irey, Ryan Spanier, Liam Carney and the like.

Matt Wood, Garnet Valley: A rebuilding Jaguars team relied heavily on its senior captain. After an **** 0-4 start, all four losses coming by five or more goals, the blueliner led a resurgence as Garnet won four of its next five. The most impressive of those results came at home against eventual Central League champion Conestoga. Wood, a 200-foot player, scored twice in a 4-3 victory over the Pioneers, knowing when to sit back and when to push the pace. “Without him, we’re a different team,” Jags coach Keith Crowley said. “It’s very rare that you have one guy that can make all the difference.” Wood led Garnet Valley with 34 points — more than double his closest teammate — and was named to the ICSHL second team.
