So, going into today’s competition, Naperville North Huskies are in 1st place at 2-0 followed by our Spartans at 1-0-1, Lincolnway Black at 0-1-1, & Bloomington Sharks at 0-2.

This means that 1st place is on the line today at 5pm (Canlan Rink) Rink #2 when our Spartans battle Naperville North. If today’s game is as exciting as last night’s game- you won’t to miss it! Come out & support the boys if you can. The address for the Canlan Rink is: 1581 Normantown Romeoville, IL 60446.

If our Spartans win today they will be in 1st place & will play the 4th place finisher at 9:00pm tonight same rink. If (don’t say it!) they lose they & Lincolnway Black wins they will be in a tie with them at 1-1-1 & it will come down to a tie breaker criteria to determine who finishes 2nd & 3rd. Regardless of finishing 2nd or 3rd, that game would be played at 8:50pm tonight same rink. A reminder that games can start early… or late as yesterday’s first game did, so please keep that in mind. Also remember that Coach Sal would like all players at the rink 1 hour prior to game time.

Our boys will have to win tonight’s late game to advance to tomorrow’s championship game, which will be held at the Inwood Ice Arena (3000 W Jefferson St in Joliet, IL). As far as I know start time for the championship game is still 11:30am. Karen or myself will update you after today’s results become final. By the way a HUGE thank you to Karen who caught the rink location change in an email sent by Canlan Classic Tournaments last Friday- Thanks for backing me up Karen!!

If you are going to the games & staying in the Romeoville area- if you travel East on Weber Road, there are a number of restaurants both fast food & sit down along with shopping.
