November 30, 2009

 

Two-time GMHL Champion Bradford Rattlers won all 6 games en route to victory to claim the title of Champions in the 2nd Annual GMHL College Showcase, including a come from behind 6-4 win in the tournament final against the host team, Elliot Lake Bobcats.

 

Down 3-2 after 2 periods in the Tournament Final on Saturday night, the Rattlers explosive offense took control, outscoring the Bobcats 4-1 in the final frame to secure the win.

 

The Showcase tournament was an enormous success, and a lot of kudos have to go to Bobcats Coach and GM Ryan Leonard for many of the arrangements, particularly in securing the attendance of many of the scouts who took in the action for the better part of the four day event.  Bobcats Co-owner Ken Girard was also an integral part of the tournament logistics and deserves a lot of credit for the quality of the event.  The league would also like to thank the numerous volunteers and staff who kept the tournament on track, and to the good people of Elliot Lake, who showed tremendous hospitality throughout the week.

 

Numerous players were approached by Div. 3 NCAA programs, as well as a few Jr. College programs represented.  Stay tuned for updates as details become available regarding firm offers for players to move up the ladder to the college level, in particular.  For the GMHL, that is what it\'s all about!
