In order to provide competitive fall league games and serve the welfare of all players, please let the LEAGUE know by Wednesday before the weekend if for some reason a player or group of players will not be attending that Sunday. Last weekend, apparently due to some schools' parents weekends, many players did not show up and games had to be altered or, in some cases, cancelled. We do want to do this, and request that in the future, players will communicate if they are unable to attend for a particular Sunday. Please communicate by Wednesday if you are unable to attend by simply emailing to info@westernprep-elite.com that you are unable to attend.
This fall the Western New England Fall Prep League has a unique opportunity to showcase the talented players in the league. The Bauer National Invitational Tournament on November 4,5, & 6 in New Hope Minnesota has invited a New England Prep All-Star Team to compete along with 7 other teams composed of the top prep and high school players in this country. Two teams from the Minnesota fall league, Shattuck St.-Mary's, Norway's National U-18 team as well as a team from the Upper Midwest League will compete in the November Showcase.
This is an outstanding opportunity for all fall prep league players as the New England Prep Team will be composed entirely of prep players from the eastern and western prep leagues. The players will be picked prior to Oct 10 by an independent panel of college coaches based on the player's performance in the fall league. The team that will be picked to represent the prep leagues will play on Friday Nov 4, Saturday Nov. 5 and Sunday Nov. 6 against the premier assembly of teams for a competitive fall tournament in 2011.
The New England Prep League is a league designed to showcase the talent and skills of the best prep school hockey players in New England. This year's league will have 10 teams cutting back from 11 to make sure all games are more competitive.The program will begin on September 18, 2011 and run through November 6, 2011. There will be two games played each Sunday for a total of 13 games.
This year, in order to better accommodate elite players from a wide variety of schools, the season will be played at the Newington Ice Arena (CT). The schedule has been designed in such a way as to bring in as many college coaches and professional scouts as possible. The final weekend will culminate with an All-Star Game attended by college and NHL scouts.
