ANKENY, Iowa — Sat, Oct 3: During
the League’s annual fall meeting, team reps voted to send the
MHSHL regular-season champion to the first-ever USA Hockey
High School Nationals in Chicago. It was also announced that
the
Chicago Showcase will move to Pittsburgh.
This summer, USA Hockey announced that
the first-ever High School Nationals will be staged April 14-18,
2010, in Chicago. During the recently held League meeting, team
reps voted to invite the MHSHL regular-season champion to
represent the Mid-West Affiliate at the event. USA Hockey is
still formulating ground rules for the event. Watch for more
details as the season progresses.
It was also announced that the Chicago
Showcase will move to Pittsburgh in 2010. The event will be
called USA Hockey America’s High School Showcase. It is also
tentatively scheduled for April 14-18. Since the Showcase team
is a project of the Mid-West Affiliate, last year’s Showcase
coach, Chris Schmale, attended the League meeting and encouraged
the MHSHL to offer their continued support for this worthwhile
event, despite the move to the Eastern U.S. The League agreed
that it would continue to assist and encourage the League’s
players to try out for the Showcase team.
It was also voted to do away with goal
judges during the upcoming regular season and tournament play.
The results of this decision will be evaluated at the spring
meeting.
