The off season is never truly "off" for anyone who is involved in interscholastic sports administration. There is the next season to plan, venues to reserve, schedules to get done, uniforms to order, etc.
Here are some of the plans for the MSHL
(a) Hockey Weekend Across America -- January 29 (Friday) and January 30 (Saturday)
Friday night will be rivalry night. The biggest rivalries in the state will take place that night. For example, Severna Park - South River, DeMatha - Gonzaga, Wootton - Churchill...
On Saturday there will be an NVSHL - MSHL All-Star game - our best 21 vs. their best 21. Sure some of the best will be away with travel commitements, but we should be able to find 21 student-athletes. The proceeds from the gate will benefit a local charity.
(b) The Gardens Classic (tentative)
An 8 team tournament on December 28,29, and 30. 3 games per team, one game per day. In case you're wondering how this works...
Day 1
Games 1,2,3, and 4
Day 2
Game 5 - loser game 1 vs loser game 2
Game 6 - loser game 3 vs loser game 4
Game 7 - winner game 1 vs. winner game 2
Game 8 - winner game 3 vs. winner game 4
Day 3
Game 9 - loser game 5 vs. loser game 6 (7th place)
Game 10 - winner game 5 vs. winner game 6 (5th place)
Game 11 - loser game 7 vs. loser game 8 (3rd place)
Game 12 - winner game 7 vs. winner game 8 (Championship)
They'll be a paid gate with the proceeds returned to the participating teams to offset their costs.
