BAUER.COM 2011 BAUER NATIONAL INVITATIONAL ELITE LEAGUE PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR UPPER MIDWEST HOCKEY PLAYERS Welcome to the 2011 Bauer National Invitational Tournament. This weekend’s tournament is the final event of the 2011 season for the Upper Midwest High School Elite Hockey 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.” Unabashed passion for the game reaches its pinnacle each March with the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament, a four-day showcase that draws more than CHANGE 100,000 fans to St. Paul. About a decade ago, many of the state’s premier players found themselves looking for opportu- nities to play more games and against competition stronger than a typical high school schedule provided. The Upper Midwest High School Elite Hockey League was founded to help meet that need. THE Each year the league conducts an extensive series of tryouts, consults high school coaches from around the state and selects about 120 players to compete in the Elite League’s fall season. Teams are formed around geographic regions, giving the league Team Northeast, Team South- east, Team Northwest, Team Southwest, Team North and Team Great Plains. Add in Team Wisconsin and a team from the Faribault-based Shattuck-St. Mary’s school program, and the league has its eight teams that compete for eight consecutive weekends from September through GAME. 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 the playoffs about 40 players are selected to form two Minnesota teams – Red and White – that compete in this weekend’s National Invitational Tournament. Now completing its 11th season, the Elite League provides a tremendous opportunity for players to develop their skills against other premier players. It also provides a showcase for displaying those skills in front of scouts and coaches, helping provide a pathway for players who want to continue their hockey careers. Sixteen players from the Elite League were selected in the NHL Entry Draft last June, and this weekend you will have the chance to see several players who already have committed to Divi- sion I college programs. Sit back and enjoy the NIT, knowing you are seeing the “stars of tomorrow” at an early stage in their careers. The BAUER VAPOR APX.
