GMHL Wrap Up - Week 13

Week in Review - Week 13:

With the GMHL College Showcase Classic upcoming next week, the GMHL's 22 teams are all poised to bring their best in front of the heavily scouted event.

In the North, Temiscaming seems to have gotten back on track before the holiday break winning three straight. The South Muskoka Shield dropped a big match-up against the South's Toronto Attack 5:1. After looking like the team to beat in the North, the Shield have gone 2-3-0 in their last five. Rama extended their win streak to six games while Parry Sound was brought back down to earth snapping a five game win streak.

The South's Tottenham Steam remain in first place. The Bradford Rattlers have had back-to-back offensive breakouts taking down Grey Highlands and Meaford. Halton continues to climb the standings winning all their matches this week. Niagara is on a three game win-streak of their own.

The game of the week goes to the Toronto Predators taking down the Alliston Coyotes 5:4 final. Predators goaltender Steven Tierney stole the game for the young Toronto team and earn two points.

Alumni Update:

- Tanner Burton (GMHL, 2009-2010) has signed with the Brampton Beast ECHL. Burton is a classic example of a late bloomer making a successful hockey career. He came to the GMHL after three years of juniors and was overlooked at all levels. After playing a season here, Tanner received a offer to Marian University (NCAA D3). A successful four year College was followed by the jump to pro in the SPHL last season. Tanner now has jumped from the SPHL to the ECHL with Brampton.

- With the IIHF World Junior Championship season upon us, several of the GMHL elite and alumni are representing their respective countries. Stay tuned to www.gmhl.net for a full review of our players in the WJC.
