The Twin Ports Prep Boy's High School Hockey League had its first annual draft at the Blackwoods in Proctor on Monday. Four local High School Coaches along with the two league directors were on hand to select players and formed eight equal teams. The players were either submitted by their high school coaches or by the committee. So far 16 high schools are represented and more will fill the final spots on the team via a tryout. There will be about 20-25 forward/defensive spots available at the tryout and about 3-4 goalie positions. Players on the following list will be notified by their coaches next week or they can simply register now at www.northlandhockeygroup.com. Also information about the league is available at the site.

The tryouts for the final positions will be at the Mars Lakeview Arena on Friday, March 20th at 5:30pm. You can register online at www.northlandhockeygroup.com. If you want to simply show up on that night you may as well.

Howie Hanson should not show his face around the East faithful. Or he may mistakenly disappear.

If you know of anyone that is deserving you may nominate them at info@northlandhockeygroup.com. They need to be nominated by the 10th. Thanks a lot.

Joey Benik amongst other strong players registered today to go with many strong players already registered for this exiting league.
