Robert Peacock

Robert Peacock recalls his time playing for Livingston High School from 1975 to 1977 as a period filled with lasting memories, including the vibrant crowds at South Mountain Arena and the strong support from school fans and team families.

During that era, players were only eligible to compete from sophomore through senior year. Over those three seasons, Robert earned NJSHL “A” Division First Team honors—then widely regarded as the equivalent of an All-State selection—highlighting his standing among the state’s top players. As a junior, he was named to the Second Team, and throughout all three years, he also secured a place on the First Team Daily Record Morris County All-Star Team.

In 1977, Robert served as captain of the Livingston squad that captured the Gordon Cup, then considered the ultimate symbol of the top team in New Jersey. That same season, Livingston advanced to the inaugural State Championship game, where they fell in a closely contested 2–1 matchup against Brick at Mennen Arena.

Robert’s leadership extended beyond the ice. As captain of the 1977 Livingston High School tennis team, he led the program to a perfect 37–0 record and a state championship. Over his three-year varsity tennis career, he compiled an outstanding 89–7 record.

Following high school, he continued his athletic career at St. Lawrence University, competing in Division I varsity hockey during his freshman and sophomore years. He also excelled in tennis, playing first singles for St. Lawrence through his graduation in 1981.

After college, he remained deeply involved in the sport, coaching the NJ Colonials AAA team for eight years. He currently serves as an assistant coach alongside his son, Trey, who is the head coach of the NJ Colts AA bantam team.
