North and Central move up to 2-0

Just like day 1 of the Top Prospects Tournament, the North and Central win again as they will go up 2-0 which will set up the championship on Wednesday as the North and Central will finish up the tournament. While in the Morning game, it's a battle for 3rd place will be between the South and West as both teams will look to save face and not finish without at least one win in this tournament.

North Division VS. West Division

Five different players lit the lamp for the North as the North Division moved to 2-0 and helped set up the showdwon with the Central for the Top Prospects Tournament today as 3 answered goals from Steve Brancheau, Brent Bain and Brad Fusaro scored late in the 1st and midway through the 2nd period to put them up 3-1 after a quick goal by Kyle Politz put the West up 1-0 just 3:41 into the game.

Then in the 3rd period, the West Division went on a shooting rampage as they put up 20 shots in the period, but North Division Goalie Matt Wichorek was able to fend off the attack especially early in the 3rd period to keep it 3-2.

A goal by RJ Kleiman put the North Division up 4-2 and basically kill off any hope of a West Division Comeback in this game to secure the North Division win. Then with 45 seconds left, an empty netter with Derek Jacobsen ended the game with a 5-2 win and stay unbeaten.

North Division 5 West Division 2 (2-1, 1-1, 2-0)

South Division VS. Central Division

A 4 goal 2nd period by the Central which was lead by Tyler Klein's 2 goals helped the Central explode to a 5-1 victory and to move up to 2-0 to set up the North VS. Central Game on Wednesday afternoon for the Tournament Title.

After a Jacob Poe goal that made it 1-0 South midway through the 1st period, the South struggled to keep up with the Central when Ryan Bohrer scored the 1st of 4 goals in just over 3 minutes late in the 2nd period to take over the game. Other Central Division goals were scored by Steve Zierke and John Avino late in the 2nd period to help secure the 2nd period lead.

Not much was needed for the 3rd period as the South was just stunned by what happened and as a result, they got off just 3 SOG during the 3rd period. For the Central, the 2nd goal of the night by Tyler Klein gave the Central the 5-1 win to go up to 2-0 and they are ahead on Goal Differental right now.

South Division 1 Central Division 5 (1-0, 0-4, 0-1)

Clinched Top Prospects Tournament Title

All Star Game Info

American Hockey League

Yesterday was the first day that fans could vote for who they think should be in the 2010 American Hockey League All Star game which will be at the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, Maine.

Unlike the NHL where they have a selection process on who makes the ballot, the A.H.L. has a majority of their players on the roster where the fans can vote for a forward, Defensemen and the goalie for team Canada and Planet U.S.A. which is combination of players from the USA and Europe.

In addition to the voting, fans can register to win different prizes. The grand prize this year is a team signed All Star Jersey and 10 2nd place winners will win All Star Game T-Shirts as well. This year's A.H.L. All Star game will be held on January 18 and 19 in Portland Maine. The voting will go until December 27 at midnight and you can vote on the A.H.L. website.


North American Hockey League

The schedule for the North American Hockey League Top Prospects Tournament which will be from January 18-20 in Ann Arbor, Michigan is now out. Once again, the Tournament will be at the Ann Arbor Ice Cube which is the home of the U.S. N.T.D.P. and will be a 4 team tournament comprised of the Division All Star Teams.

All players will get a chance to play in front of college and pro scouts to some of them haven't gotten good looks yet and would be a great chance to make an impression to play for a college team after their junior career is over.

The number of players that each team will get will be based on how the team is doing in the standings as of New Years Day. So basically, the higher the team in the standings, the more players the team gets. For the 3 5 team Divisions (North, Central, South) They will be 6 players from the Division Leaders, 4 from the runner ups, 3 from the 3rd place teams and then 2 from the 4th and 5th place teams.

In the West Division where they is just 4 teams, 6 players will go from the Division Leaders, 5 from the Runner ups, 4 from the 3rd place team and 3 from the last place team.

In addition to the League Standings, the coaching staff will get a couple of coaches picks to round out the rosters on all 4 teams. To determine the coaching staff, the Division Leaders will get to be the head coach, while the Runner up as of New Years Day will be the Assistant coach.

For the Texas Tornado, look for Jack Prince to be on the roster as he is leading the team in scoring and is clearly the best player on the team. For Wichita Falls, it's going to be a much tougher desicion as the team is struggling, and is currently last in the South Division as they have the 3rd worst record overall in the NAHL. The Wildcats are only above the Albert Lea Thunder and the Kenai River Brown Bears who are tied for the worst record with 12 points.

The Tournament is a 3 game round robin which takes from Janaury 18-20
