92's Look To Test Themselves vs. Ontarios Best

The OHL Cup Showcase Tournament this week provides our 92's with a great opportunity to test themselves against the best that Ontario has to offer in front of hundreds of scouts from the OHL, NCAA, and Tier II junior.

The Ottawa 67's, our first game opponent, feature highly touted 6 foot 4 defenseman Erik Gubrandson projected to be the first defenseman taken in the 2008 OHL draft.

The Jr. Canadiens, our second game opponent, feature highly touted forward John McFarland projected to be the first forward and first player overall taken in the 2008 OHL draft. In addition the Jr. Canadiens are the top ranked team in the final OHL Cup Rankings, are the champions of the GTHL, and are the top ranked team in all of North America.

NOTE 1: Our Belle Tire team became the first American team in 3 years to defeat the Jr. Canadiens in the Whitlby Silver Sticks semi-final game this past November.

NOTE 2: Overall on the season Belle Tire is 7-1-2-1 versus the 19 other OHL Cup participants which breaks down as:

1-0-0-0 record against the Rochester Alliance, Halton Hurricanes, Toronto Redwings, Toronto Jr. Canadiens, Toronto Young Nats, and York-Simcoe Express.

0-1-1-1 record against Elgin-Middlesex Chiefs,

0-0-1-0 against Greator Kingston Frontenacs.
