Veteran coach Dave Conklin has a senior-heavy Livingston team which looks to win a McInnis Cup playoff where fellow state power Westfield is the defending champions. Scotch Plains hopes to be kissing the Kelly Cup trophy again in February after taking home that cup trophy last year. There will be plenty of pucks in use at arenas all over New Jersey with high school playoffs taking center stage. Hoping to make wayes in the very tough Gordon Cup playoffs is Seton Hall Prep with standouts such as John Renzullo (5) leading the Pirates. (SC photos and by Jon Lopez and PJ Candido//SHP)

West Essex-Caldwell (7-11, 4-5) hopes to make noise in the McInnis Cup. Coach Marc Gregory’s Knights, who dropped a narrow 3-2 decision to rival Livingston on Jan. 27, are led by junior forward Cale White (18 goals, 7 assists).

Verona-Glen Ridge (6-8-1, 4-6-1) has struggled at times during the Kelly Division season, but coach Ken Lilien’s squad is still quite capable with players such as senior forward Gavin Farrell (11 goals, 8 assists) and a pair of standout goaltenders in junior Jackson Sochnick (.838 save percentage) and freshman Jack Hughes (.919).

Nutley-Bloomfield-Columbia (6-10-1, 3-5) is another Kelly Division team hoping to raise its game in the playoffs behind dangerous senior forward Angelo Albanese (17 goals, 23 assists).
