ALL STAR GAME ONLY DAYS AWAY!
January 13, 2010
The 4th Annual GMHL All-Star game is only days away, and teams have made their selections as to which players will represent their teams in the GMHL Skills Competition.
The Competition will consist of 3 events - Hardest Shot, Fastest Skater, and the Penalty Shot Shootout, which will also double as a goaltender contest involving the 6 goaltenders in the All-Star Game.
Each team will have one representative in each contest, while King Wild will have two players in each category as the host team, and so as to have an even number of 12 skaters in each contest, particulary important to provide the 6 goaltenders with an even competition.
Here's are the lineups and details for each competition, following NHL standards as closely as possible:
Fastest Skater: Each player starts 3 feet behind the centre line, skating one lap around the rink, with time stopping when the player's stick breaks the plane of the centre line at the conclusion of his lap. Fastest lap wins! There is no semi-final or final race to determine winner! In the event of a tie, contestants will skate another lap in a head to head format! If tied again, we will declare co-winners, unless time permits, in which case, contestants will skate head to head again!

Hardest Shot: Puck is placed 30 feet from the goal, and players are permitted to skate in from the near blue-line, but no farther. Each player will take two shots, with the highest speed recorded. If a player misses the goal, that shot is NOT retaken! If the radar gun does not record a shot on goal, the shot WILL be retaken. If the radar does not function properly and records a score obviousl inaccurate, the shot WILL be retaken. In the event of a tie, players tied for the top score will each take one shot in a tie-breaker, until a winner is decided.

Best Goaltender: Each goaltender will face a minimum of four shots in the Penalty Shot Shootout, from any of the 12 shooters each shooting a minimum of two shots in the first two rounds. Goaltenders will be in goal for four consecutive shots in those first two rounds of shots. Once round 3 begins, goaltenders will be in goal for two shots in succession. Starting with round 4, goaltenders will be in goal for one shot at a time, until a winner is declared in the shootout. Best goaltender will be determined by save percentage.
