Senior Classic

Do you know if there is a gate fee?

No gate fees!

It looks like several of the rosters were built around opportunity for those seniors that needed to be seen by the D3 scouts. Some sections put a bunch of kids that are already committed and others didn't. I wish the MGHCA would make up their mind on whether this is about opportunity or an all star game. It is also disappointing to see blanks again. There are a couple of sections that are heavy on seniors that could have helped fill holes.

It's still a great opportunity for the girls. Good Luck to all! See you at the rink.

Can anyone post all the scores? Or send me to a link where I can view them? Thanks!

I was there last night and I agree with you that it was confusing. Some teams were all star teams and others were not. I saw lots of DIII scouts and its a great opportunity for kids that haven't found a home yet. Primarily, it looked like the girls were having fun, which is all that really matters.

Any updates on the games?

Does anyone have rosters for the Senior classic?

If not were their any Centennial girls present?

Was it that uneventful that there are so few posts?

[SEhockeyDAD]

Uneventful, no. Its just really a different event because of the circumstances. For many, if not most of the girls and parents, its the end of the line for something thats been part of their lives for many years. So its bittersweet, being both an ending and an honor. Its also not the team they've known for years, so any victories (or losses) don't seem to matter as much. And while there are college scouts present, they're fewer, because most all girls and colleges have already decided.

Basically, it felt anti-climatic to me. The girls seemed to be playing well, but not with a lot of intensity (excepting goalies.) Besides, the event was low key. There was no board with game results, there was a lot of broom ball and figure skating on other sheets of ice, and after games, the entry wasn't even close to crowded like it is during other tournaments.

Still, it was pretty cool for the parents, and the girls enjoyed playing with other girls who they've been trying to beat for years. Also, for some girls who've never been on a good HS team, its a great reward to play with and against talented players. I hope its remains as a season-ending event forever.

Sorry I can't help a lot with scores, (no scores posted) but I believe this is how section 1's pool went:
Section 1 beat 2
Section 5 beat 6
Section 5 beat 1
Section 2 beat 6
Section 6 beat 1
Section 2 beat 5
In 7th place game, section 3 beat 1.

How the other pool went, I couldn't tell you. The standout players I saw were the usual suspects, Nicole Anderson-Shakopee, Lauren Zrust-Blaine, Alex Nelson-Andover, Becky Kortum-Hopkins, Jenna Westerham-Hopkins. Section 1's best player was Liz Maidl, goalie from Rochester Century, and I know she caught some attention because people were asking me "who's that goalie?" Hopefully, some scouts took notice, because she deserves it.
