CHALLENGE CUP EXPANDED TO 12 TEAMS

The 2010 Challenge Cup will be expanded from 10 to 12 teams as Durham College has been able to secure ice time on both the Thursday evening and Friday.

Teams will be seeded and split into four groups of 3 teams, with eight teams seeing action on Thursday evening. 

Currently, tournament winners Humber North, Durham, George Brown and Boreal have all confirmed their participation in the Challenge Cup.  With three tournaments to go, there is the potential for 7 tournament champion qualifiers and a minimum of 5 wild card entries.  Every game counts!

SHERIDAN TOURNEY ADDED TO CHALLENGE CUP SERIES

Sheridan will be hosting an 8 team tournament on Friday March 12th.  The tournament takes the place of the St. Clair Chatham tourney that was supposed to be held on February 19th.

Results of this tournament will count towards Challenge Cup qualification.

LORDS RULE CONESTOGA, KEEP PACE WITH HUMBER

The Durham Lords had already punched their ticket to the Challenge Cup as hosts prior to the Conestoga Invitational on February 5th.  By winning the tourney, though, the Lords have shown they are not content just to show up at their own party.

Durham went 3-0 enroute to the tournament title, defeating Sheridan, Fanshawe and Canadore in the process.  The win keeps Durham at #2 in the extramural hockey Power Ratings, just behind Humber.

With the win, a wild card spot for the Challenge Cup opens up as Durham has already secured a spot as host.   With three tournaments remaining,  8 spots remain up for grabs, with at least 5 wild card spots available.  Every game will count down the stretch!
