National Invitational Scholastic Showcase
December 7-9, 2007 ~ Jamestown Savings Bank Arena – Jamestown, NY

The Pa Hockey Foundation is sponsoring the National Invitational Scholastic Showcase event on December 7th , 8th , & 9th ,2007 at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena in Jamestown, New York. With the 2007 State Championships in over 40 States across the United States being competed across the country, we are working toward a unique event featuring some of the top High School Hockey programs in the country for a three-day event during the 2007-2008 season. Your school is invited to apply for participation in a 16-team showcase of the top Varsity high school teams from across the United States. This event will host the best teams regionally and nationally to compete for the Governor’s Cup at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena in New York.

This Invitational event will be open to State Champions, Finalists, Semi-Finalists and Exempt Champions and we will attempt to limit to a total of four schools from any particular area [State or Region] to ensure that each school participating will face three out-of-state opponents in the preliminary round of competition. The tournament will be played on two rinks in prime time for this round robin event. The Pa Hockey Network plans to Webcast the event LIVE on the Pa Hockey www.pahockey.net Website including a pre-tournament preview, a Skills Competition, the Medal Round Semi-Finals and Governor’s Cup Final.

Invitations will be sent to State Champions, State Finalists and State Semi-Finalists from across the United States in May of 2007. If a school is interested in participating in this event, it should mail or e-mail a fully executed ‘Letter of Interest’ to the Pa Hockey Foundation NO LATER than June 30th, 2006. Schools will be notified of their acceptance and will be further given instructions, when the tournament field and waiting list are completed by June 30, 2007. In addition, we invite you to consider the 12th Annual Pa Hockey Scholastic Showcase at the Center Ice Arena in Delmont, Pennsylvania being held December 28-31, 2007, that will feature the top teams in Western Pennsylvania and additional schools regionally and nationally [Tournament Details are below].

Has a team from Minnesota ever participated?

batman · Post by **batman** » Thu May 31, 2007 7:29 pm

No but we are hoping for teams from all over the country to participate within the next few years. I believe we will have a USA Hockey Tournament and a NHFed Tournament in the same weekend

I once heard a rumor that MN schools arn't allowed to play in tournaments with over 4 teams.

Anybody know if that is true.

I already know that any team interested would need permission to play teams who's state does not sponsor hockey.

Why would that be true?
