GMHL SHOWCASE UNDERWAY

GMHL COLLEGE SHOWCASE UNDERWAY!

November 22, 2010

Elliot Lake, ON - Despite some trying times due to weather conditions, the 2010 GMHL COLLEGE SHOWCASE CLASSIC got underway today with 6 games on Day One, and there was some great action.

With a lineup of 6 teams, including the GMHL SELECTS, a team comprised of players whose clubs did not enter the tournament, and the Alpena Thunder, an independent US club currently part of the Continental Junior Hockey League, a league with 3 teams currently playing what amounts to an exhibition schedule this season while restructuring for 2011-2012, there was some great action on day one.

The weather played havoc with the schedule, and the Selects' late arrival forced organizers to switch games and opponents to accomodate the travel problems.  Road were closed for hours, an additional bus driver was required, and after finally arriving at 3:30, the Selects had two games to play.

There was some great hockey, some surprising results, and all of it was witnessed by 4 Major Jr. and 4 college recruiters taking in the action.

Here are the results from Day One:

Alpena 5 Algoma 4

Shelburne 5 Bradford 4

Algoma 6 Elliot lake 3

GMHL Selects 5 Alpena 4

Elliot Lake 6 Bradford 4

GMHL Selects 10 Shelburne 5

The top 4 teams out of 6 will play Wednesday in semi and final.
