Former Wizards Fill State Playoffs

The Michigan AAA State Playoffs is always a great big reunion in the local hockey community.

Since this is my fifth and final season managing the Wizards hockey club as an independent organization, or as affliated with Belle Tire, I appreciate this years tournament more than any other in the past.

Monday Night I had the opportunity to watch all the games all evening from 4:00 PM until Midnght on both rinks, and, while doing so, took rollcall of all the many players playing in this years AAA State Playoffs from teams other than our U-16 team who once played on our Wizards teams during our five years of existence as a hockey club.
