Meltdown Invite Schedule

I remember when the melt-down was THE tourny. Now it's like the third string this weekend. That Alliance really worked out well.

Third String? Watch some hockey before you judge. 97 class was highly competitive. Local Easton Stealth team lost to Pepsi 6-5 in the championship game - very good hockey, even though all the best players were in Chicago.

In the grand scheme of things for sure 3rd string this weekend when you take all levels/teams into account.

Depends on the age level. For instance I think at the 2001 level two of the very best teams around at that age level were in the Meltdown, not Chicago, those being the '01 Madison Capitols and the '01 Blades

Heard the 01 Blades were a late arrival and may have played for free.

I have no idea. I do know they played in it last year losing to the Caps in teh Championship game so maybe there was some reason to come back and try and "avenge" the loss. Who knows, either way they played.
