Junior Titans’ Bew one to watch in 2010-11

Meteoric might be the best word to describe Dalton Bew’s rise through the ranks of the New Jersey Junior Titans’ roster.

After joining the team in midseason last year following the end of his Brick (N.J.) Hockey Club Midget Major 18AA short season, he became one of the Junior Titans’ key players by the time the playoffs rolled around in the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League.

Junior Titans coach Dustin DePalma is expecting Bew to have a breakout season this year.

“From Day 1 last year, Dalton worked hard so he could contribute to the team,” DePalma said. “We expect he’ll continue to work hard this year and we want him to take on a leadership role as one of our 10 returning veterans.”

Bew is a 6-foot-1-inch, 178-pound forward who plays both wings. DePalma likes his goal-scoring ability, creativity and instincts. He had 10 goals in 21 games with the Junior Titans last season, including four goals Jan. 23 against the Valley Forge Minutemen.

Coach and player are on the same page when it comes to the reason for Bew’s instant success with the Junior Titans.

“Hard work,” Bew said. “It’s a big transition from midget to junior hockey. There’s more stick work, aggressive play and physical play in juniors but once I was able to deal with that, I started playing well.”

Bew, 16, lives in Somerset, N.J. He’s a junior at Mainland Regional High School in Linwood, N.J.
