Peter Lamonica

Peter transferred to Paramus Catholic as a sophomore to pursue his passion for hockey. For much of his high school career, he didn’t have the opportunity to play travel hockey—but that changed in his senior year. Through hard work and steady improvement each season, Pete made a remarkable impact.

As a senior, he led the Bergen County Hockey League in scoring as a defenseman, recording 41 points in just 14 league games and finishing with 60 points overall. After earning anAll-County honorable mention as a junior, he went on to be named First TeamAll-State in his senior year.

Following graduation, Pete continued his hockey career at Iona College, where he spent four years as a member of the starting lineup in NCAA Division III ECAC hockey. By the end of his college career, he had become the all-time leading scorer among defensemen at Iona College, earning multiple honors along the way.

After his playing days came to an end, Pete remained deeply connected to the game. For over 30 years,he has coached youth hockey with the NJ Mavericks and North Jersey Avalanche, and he continues to coach to this day—giving back to the sport he loves and helping shape the next generation of players.
