Dimaline312000 51 Report post Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) This coming weekend January 8th and 9th my team the Grand Rapids Sled Wings are going to be in Fraser, Michigan for a League Sled Hockey Tournament. We will be playing teams from around our league the Mid American Great Lakes Sled Hockey League. This is Tournament Number 2 of 4 and it's being played at Great Lake Sports City Arena, all games will be played on the Erie Rink. I know that Sled Hockey is not that appealing to many but this is really fun hockey to watch and helps support our Teams. The games start at 2PM on Saturday and are played until 3 or 4PM on Sunday. There are 5 teams in this league the Grand Rapids Sled Wings, Michigan Sled Dogs, Pittsburgh Mighty Penguins, Fort Wayne/Turnstone Flyers and Ohio United. I know I probably shouldn't be doing in advertising on here but this really is great hockey to watch and admission is FREE. So if you are dying to watch some hockey and can't afford tickets to a regular hockey game please come down and support our league. There is a lot of great Talent and Skill on all the teams just about every team but one I believe has at least one USA Junior National or National Player on the Roster so it makes for goo tough competitive hockey so I encourage anyone who is near or even far come watch some Great Sled Hockey Action. The address to the arena where all the games will be played is below. Thanks and Go Red Wings!! Any more information needed please feel free to ask away!! Great Lakes Sports City 34400 Utica Road Fraser, Michigan 48026 PS: For anyone who may attend keep your eyes out for #38 on the Grand Rapids Sled Wings Roster that will be me.

TheUkrainian 49 Report post Posted January 6, 2011 I might be able to make it up there on Saturday. Depends on how bad this snowstorm in on the west side of the state. Definitely would be cool to watch. I'll try and see if some guys from our hockey team would like to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dimaline312000 51 Report post Posted January 10, 2011 For anyone who was wondering; my team the Grand Rapids Sled Wings finished the Tournament in Fraser 1-3 which I know that sounds like a bad record but for only being a 2nd year adult team and only have 2 Full forward lines and 3 d-men it was pretty good. We finished the tournament in Pittsburgh 1-3 as well. Here are the scores of our Games that we played. 8-0 Pittsbugh Might Penguins. Not to make excuses but they have 4 players including their goalie on either the USA Junior or USA National Sled Hockey Teams. Also every one of the players on Pittsburght are very fast and have been playing with each other for about 5 or more years. Next game was 3-2 Ohio. 2 Players on that team from the USA Junior National team but we held our ground and had a bad bounce go in on us at the end. Today Vs Fort Wayne it was 3-1 Grand Rapids and the 4th and final game against the Michigan Sled Dogs it was 6-0 Michigan. They are a very physical team for a Sled Hockey team we all had some bumps and bruises after that one. It was a great tournament and we are getting better. For anyone who is interested in watching Sled hockey that live here in Michigan I encourage you to go see either the Sled Dogs at Great Lakes Sports City or the Sled Wings at Griff's Icehouse. Next tournament is February 12 and 13 in Fort Wayne. Thanks everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
