National Invitational Scholastic Showcase
December 3-5, 2010 ~ Jamestown Savings Bank Arena – Jamestown, NY

The Pa Hockey Foundation is sponsoring the National Invitational Scholastic Showcase event on December 3rd - 5th, 2010 at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena in Jamestown, New York. With the 2010 State Championships in over 43 States across the United States being competed across the country, we are working toward a unique event featuring some of the top High School Hockey programs in the country for a three-day event during the 2010-2011 season. Your school is invited to apply for participation in a 16-24 team showcase of the top Varsity high school teams from across the United States. This event will host the best teams regionally and nationally to compete for the Governor’s Cup at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena in New York.

This Invitational event will be open to State Champions, Finalists, Semi-Finalists and Exempt Champions and we will attempt to limit to a total of four to six schools from any particular area [State or Region] to ensure that each school participating will face three out-of-state opponents in the preliminary round of competition. The tournament will be played on 2-3 rinks in prime time for this round robin event. The Pa Hockey Network plans to Webcast the event LIVE on the Pa Hockey www.pahockey.net Website including a pre-tournament preview, a Skills Competition, the Medal Round Semi-Finals and Governor’s Cup Final.

Invitations will be sent to State Champions, State Finalists and State Semi-Finalists from across the United States in June of 2010. If a school is interested in participating in this event, it should mail or e-mail a fully executed ‘Letter of Interest’ to the Pa Hockey Foundation NO LATER than June 30th, 2010. Schools will be notified of their acceptance and will be further given instructions, when the tournament field and waiting list are completed by June 30, 2010. In addition, we invite you to consider the
15th Annual Pa Hockey Scholastic Showcase in Pittsburgh,, Pennsylvania being held December 26-29, 2010, that will feature the top teams in Western Pennsylvania and additional schools regionally and nationally.

You mean a team could actually play Park Tudor, DesMet, Meadville, Huron, AND Service?

Not to get in the way of what you're doing, but I think we've read about this tournament for the last few years and I don't know that it is a good fit for the top Minnesota teams.

Has a Minnesota team ever attended?
