By the way, there definitely is a Central Jersey. Everyone has there own parameters, I think it stretches from Monmouth to Toms River.
I always thought of it as the Raritan River being the line between North, and Central. The Driscoll bridge on the Parkway there.
I also figured the line between Central, and South was that river or whatever you cross by New Gretna there at the Atlantic County line. That or the Atlantic City Expressway. There aren't any definite lines or makers though.
Jackson, Howell, Lakewood(all south of 195), basically anywhere southeast towards Rt 72 and Long Beach isn't what I call Flyers' territory.

Jesus Christ. It's not an exact science.
Obviously as you get closer to the highway, you'll find exceptions. Think of it like a venn diagram, with 195 being the center circle. North is strictly all Devils/Rangers. South is strictly all Flyers. The area close to the highway is a mix.
and second, if u play roller, did u ever play at goodsports in wall? i played there for like 8 years. so maybe we played against each other
I used to play there around that time, but that was back in the day when I was in the 8 and under league. I play now at Tab Ramos even though I play mostly ice. I'm a demi-god at roller hockey.
PS: Redarmynative is most certainly no Evgeni Malkin.

I don't really consider all of ocean as Central Jersey, once you get past toms River, Brick, etc, thats South Jersey to me. 83 on the parkway is what I sometimes use as a classification.
Family spends a ton of time in Long Beach Island every summer, and to me south of the Island is usually where I consider the beginning of Philly territory. The Island itself gets both MSG and CSN and the number of people there in the summer tends to be pretty evenly split between northern NJ/metro NY area folks and Philly creatures.
That said, I don't usually see a ton of hockey enthusiasm there, but that's more because I spend most of my time there during baseball season. The times I've spent down there during hockey season, though, I've never had any issues watching a Devils game at a bar or whatever.
So yeah, between that and Manahawkin I think that's where the sports market is more evenly split.
From manahawkin, I'd say that's correct. Devils Flyers are 50 50, a few Rangers fans.
This thread is too far off-topic and I just don't see it coming back.
