Midway point
This week, the N.J. hockey season will officially reach its midway point. The season's homestretch has a handful of huge games this week, including a number of Top 20 matchups and plenty of games that are vital to conference standings. Be sure to keep an eye on these games below as the week rolls along.
Ice hockey: St. Augustine at Gloucester Catholic

No. 2 Delbarton vs. No. 3 Gloucester Catholic, 3:45
Gloucester Catholic currently leads the Gordon Conference's National Division, but could send a serious message and prove that it's a force to be reckoned with moving forward by topping Delbarton in this one. The Green Wave, on the other hand, could prove that they and Don Bosco Prep are in a class of their own among the state's elite this season.

Notre Dame vs. Hopewell Valley, 6
Hopewell Valley currently leads the CVC's Colonial Division, but Notre Dame sits just three points back in the standings and has two games in hand. A win here could put Notre Dame in the drivers seat for a regular-season title, while a Hopewell Valley victory would pad the lead in a big way.
