2010 BAUER NATIONAL INVITATIONAL ELITE LEAGUE PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR UPPER MIDWEST HOCKEY PLAYERS Welcome to the 2010 Bauer National Invitational Tournament. This weekend’s tournament is the final event of the 2009 season for the Upper Midwest High School Elite League, a league formed to provide growth opportunities for the game of hockey, and for players from across the Upper Midwest. It’s no secret that Minnesotans love their high school hockey. It’s part of the culture here in “The State of Hockey,” coming to a peak each March with the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament, a four-day showcase that draws more than 100,000 fans to St. Paul. However, about a decade ago many of the state’s premier players found themselves looking for an opportunity to play more games, and against stronger competition, than a normal high school season provided. The Upper Midwest High School Elite League was founded to help meet that need. Each year, the league conducts an extensive series of tryouts, talks to coaches around the state and selects about 120 players to compete in the Elite League’s fall season. Teams are formed around - and named after - geographic regions, giving the league Team Northeast, Team Southeast, Team Northwest, Team Southwest, Team North and Team Great Plains. Add in Team Wisconsin, and a team from the Shattuck-St. Mary’s school program, and you have an eight-team league that competes for eight consecutive weekends from September through October. League games are played mostly on Saturdays and Sundays, allowing players to continue to play football, soccer or other fall sports for their high schools. Teams complete a 21- game regular season schedule, then play three more games in the league playoffs. At the end of those playoffs about 40 players are selected to form the two Minnesota teams – Red and White – that compete in this weekend’s National Invitational Tournament. Now completing its 10th season, the Elite League provides a tremendous opportunity for players to develop their skills against other premier players, and also provides a showcase for displaying those skills in front of scouts and coaches from organizations throughout hockey. On a typical Elite League weekend, dozens of scouts and coaches from junior teams, colleges and NHL teams are in attendance, helping provide a pathway for players who want to continue their hockey careers. Last June, 18 players from the Elite League – a record number - were selected in the NHL Entry Draft, and this weekend you will have the chance to see a number of players who are already committed to Division I college programs. So sit back and enjoy the NIT, knowing that you are seeing the “stars of tomorrow” at an early point in their hockey careers.
