GMHL vs UJHL - King Wild to host Team Ulysee!

This Saturday evening, February 21, the King Wild will host Team Ulysee of the United Junior Hockey League at Nobleton Arena.

The UJHL is an independent 9 team league operating with 4 teams in Quebec and 5 US teams in Ohio, New York, and Pennsylvania.  Prior to this year, this league operated for one season as the American East Junior Hockey League, with 3 other US clubs, and without their Canadian couterparts.

Team Ulysee plays in the North Division, along with fellow Canadian teams Saint Lawrence, Harrington College, and Trois Rivieres.

The South Division is comprised of the Jamestown Jets, Findlay Grrrowl, Wooster Oilers, Penn Enforcers, and Philadelphia Thunder.

Team Ulysee leads the North Division, which has played several fewer games than the South, due to their late addition to the league for this year.

What, if any, affiliation may come about as a result of this exhibition is unknown.  However, GMHL and Team Ulysee representatives will meet prior to the game to discuss our current situations, and what, if any relationship the leagues or teams may have in the future.

We can say one thing with apparent certainty.  Early indications seem to indicate that the UJHL appears to be far more stable and above board than the WHA, with whom we tried to affiliate two seasons ago, a league that has since disappeared off the hockey map.
