For the past three seasons, the Southern Regional ice hockey program has taken a turn upward, scoring bunches of victories, leading its division, and regularly playing well in the Shore Conference and NJSIAA tournaments. So far this season, the Rams are off to a slow start, falling in two straight games, but head coach Matt Hayes expects that to turn around rather quickly.

“After a relatively rough start, we’re looking to push for another run at the division title this season,” Hayes said.
