Coach of the Year
Eric Wolf – West Chester East
The man behind the historic season for the Vikings, Wolf guided them to an undefeated in which they won most of their games in dominating fashion. East won the Ches-Mont title in convincing fashion and moved on to roll to the Flyers Cup title, beating Springfield (Delco), 6-2. They capped the undefeated season by downing Norwin to defend they Pennsylvania Cup championship.
“I think we’re standing in it,” said Eric Wolf, head coach of West Chester East, asked for the reason West Chester area hockey has been able to dominate. “It’s nice to have a hometown rink. Henderson, Rustin, us — it’s a huge advantage.
“When Rustin was winning, depth was their strength, and I think it’s the same story for us.”
