PING: Duff88 (And other Junior Hockey Fans)
 

Not sure how many people care but if you're a junior hockey fan, the USHL and QMJHL will finally take on one another in a four team tournament.

The USHL will get a taste of international competition when they participate in the CCM Junior Classic in Quebec, Canada this fall. The Indiana Ice will join the Omaha Lancers up north in a four-team tournament that also includes the Quebec Remparts and the Rimouski Oceanic of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

I am curious to see how far USA Junior Hockey has come. The USHL provide numerous NCAA D-I players every year, while the Q provides numerous NHL Draftees every year. Should make for some fun hockey, tho I can't see the American teams being too competitive.

There's an RPI recruit playing for the Indiana Ice next year, so I'll be interested to see how he does.
