ANKENY, Iowa — The big news coming out of the MHSHL spring
meeting, Saturday, May 10, was granting a request by the Omaha
Gladiators to join the League for the 2008-09 season. The
Gladiators return after a 5-year absence, bringing the total
number of teams in the circuit to 14. The Gladiators were
members of the IHSHL from 1989 to 2003, earning one
regular-season championship in 1992-93.
For scheduling purposes the League will be divided into East and
West divisions. Teams will play a 32-game regular-season
schedule, facing off three times against teams in their division
and two times against teams in the opposite division. The top
eight Varsity and JV teams will qualify for the season-ending
tournaments based on total points earned in all games.
East: Ames, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines Capitals, Dubuque, Mason
City, Quad City, Waterloo.
West: Des Moines Oak Leafs, Kansas City Jr. Outlaws, Kansas City
Stars, Lincoln, Omaha, Sioux City, Tri-City.
Everyone wishes their best to Micki Frost, who attended her last
meeting as League Secretary after eight years of service. Frost
announced her retirement at the end of the just completed
season. Greg Ehlers of Omaha was elected to fill the vacancy on
the Executive Board. Ehlers will take over as League Scheduler
and Dave Fox will manage the Secretarial duties.
