South Jersey hockey stars, now in the NHL, visit their old high school

Maybe the Flyers should start paying closer attention to a certain high school hockey team in their own backyard.

Gloucester Catholic High, you see, has suddenly become an unofficial feeder program to NHL teams.

Two former Gloucester Catholic stars - Johnny Gaudreau, a two-time all-star left winger with Calgary, and blossoming Ottawa right winger Buddy Robinson - took part in a meet-and-greet Thursday with about 50 of the school's hockey players.

"Quite honestly, hockey is a big reason why a lot of these guys came here," Gloucester Catholic athletic director Pat Murphy said after the assembly in the school's gym.
