The South Jersey Wings of Steel have become perfect. After beating the NY Rangers 3 to 0 in the finals sunday afternoon, the wings have cemented a perfect season for the record books.
The wings came out flying, hungry for the right to be called undefeated champions. However the NY goaltender played like Henrik Lundquivst and shut the wings down early. Despite the play of the NY goalie, the wings refused to get frustrated. A motivational speech between the first and second period by captain DJ had the wings fired up. Eventually the wings were too much for the NY goaltender to handle and the wings were able to find the twine three times. Even though one may have thought that there was no way the wings could have improved thier game after a very solid effort in the semifinals, everyone stepped up. The defense was oustanding making the art of stopping the puck very easy for Glenn and Dan to handle. The offense kept pounding at the NY goalie. And the coaching staff and fans of the wings brought thier A games as well. At the end of the day, when Coach norm handed out the medals, the gold went to the wings players and the silver went to the rangers players.
P.S. Thank You coaches and fans for always being there for us and reminding us that what ever happens on the ice to always remember that having fun is the main goal in our sport! Thank you! We could not have gone undefeated without you!!

Wings beat Hammerheads move to finals
The Wings of Steel beat the Hammerheads early saturday morning 3 to 0. The win has propelled the still unbeaten wings into the final game on sunday against the winner of the Rangers vs Vineland. The wings were flown by #20 Mike Wilson as he had two goals and one assist. He assisted the goal of Isahi Beck. All of the players for the Wings had thier skating arms despite the early start time of 6:3o a.m. The passing of the wings was solid and many players crashed the net looking for garbage goals. The 3 to 0 score was upheld by the strong goaltending duo of Dan Wheeler and Glenn Schulz. The wings were also led vocally as well as on the ice by thier captain DJ Hemerka. The wings played a very solid game and now they will put thier undefeated season on the line sunday afternoon in what is sure to be a great final game to the district tournament.

The Wings are undefeated!!!
Today was a very exciting day knowing that if the Wings beat the Bennett Blazers they would be undefeated. The Wings started the game off at a fast pace with Wilson scoring the first goal. The wings continued to play hard throughout the game. In the early minutes of the second period Tony Martinez scored his first goal ever. He was so surprised and excited that he scored. I want to congratulate my man tony on his first goal. At the end of the second period the Blazers came right back scoring their first goal which made it 2-1 at the end of the second period. It was going into the third period 2-1 the players knew they had one more period to go and the tension was building on the bench. Midway through the thrid period Mike Mauger aka bhudda man scored his second goal of the season. It was a beatiful shoot. bhudda mans shot made it 3-1. Now the Wings had a little breathing room. The minutes began to tick off the clock and we were getting closer to the victory. in the last seconds of the game the blazers scored agian making it 3-2. The Wings just had a few seconds to kill off the clock and they did just that. The horn sounded and the players went and mobbed our goalies. We then shook the Bennett Blazers hands sayin good game.
Today was my last game as most of you know but I would like to thank all the coaches and teamates who got me to where I am now, you guys taught me everything I know and I love ya guys. I really wanna thank coach Tom Brake for all that you have done thank you. Lastly I would like to thank DJ you were the best captian any team could ask for and i love all your energy and motivation during the game thanks DJ and thanks all for everything

One More Win to Go
The Wings continued their quest for a perfect season on Friday night with a 3-0 win over Delaware. The Wings were missing several key offensive weapons, but that did not stop them from scoring. Goals were scored by Mike Wilson and Isaiah Beck. Paul the "Terror" Tursi also scored the first goal of his career and earned MVP of the game. Way to go Paul. Excellent hustle by the three musketeers line as well. Way to get after the puck. Another stellar performance by the defense and goaltenders also. They allowed less than five shots and Dan and Glenn posted another shutout. Keep up the great work Wings, only one more win to go.

Fight to the Finish
The Wings played their most competitive game of the season Saturday, against the Woodbridge Rangers. The offense started slow, but the defense kept the Wings in the game. The first period ended with the score locked at zero. Great job Danny. The offense began to come alive in the second period, scoring two goals. However, the defense faltered slightly and the period ended with the game once again tied. This time at two. Great teams play great when it counts and that is exactly what the Wings did. The offense scored three goals in the final period and the defense tightened up to the lead the Wings to a five to two victory. My players of the game go to the three musketeers. Robert Garret and Tony not only played hard when out on the ice, but also maintained positive attitudes and encouraged their teammates while on the bench. Great job boys.
A special thanks to Ray the "Rocket" Beck who played in his final game as a Wing. You had a great career Ray and we look forward to hearing about you on the next level. Thank you for all you have done for the team and we are glad you will still be at practices.
Wings Make the Sled Stars See Stars Again
The Wings once again started hot and never looked back. Isaiah Beck scored two goals in the first period. Buddha man also contributed by sacrificing his body by taking a hard hit. However, my MVP for this game was Matt Valentine. He did it all. He made some great defensive plays, by keeping players to the outside and delivering hard hits. He also scored a goal in the third period. Way to go Matt. Great defense was also played by Raymond "the Rocket" Beck. Both our goalies once again played solid games. Way to go boys. It is because of the all around team effort that the Wings are still undefeated. Keep up the great work team
Blazers are Beaten
The offense was powered by several different players in the win over the Bennett Blazers. Jessica "the Jewel" Shaw started things off with a goal in the first period. Then Matt Valentine continued the scoring in the second period with a beautiful assist from Jessie Beck. However my player of the game has to go to Buddha Man who scored his first goal of the season in the final period to seal a three to one victory for the Wings. Way to go Mike!!! Also we cannot forget the defense. Another solid performance as the defense only allowed one goal. Way to go Wings.
