“These teams are composed of many future junior players and it’s a chance for them to showcase their skills and learn more about the Ontario Hockey League,” states Spirit General Manager Don Edwards.

In three games this season Compuware has defeated Belle Tire 3-0 and 3-0 while Belle Tire won the last game 2-1. The season series has featured very intense, hard hitting, and highly skilled play.

Compuware dominated the first meeting at the Joe Maire Tournament in Toronto, but since then the last two games have been virtual dead heats that could have gone either way ... more of the same is expected in Round 4 on Saturday.

NOTE: Early projections indicate that anywhere between 15 to 20 players combined could be selected from these two teams in the OHL Entry Draft coming up in May ... add to this the fact that three players from Compuware have already been selected in the WHL Bantam Draft last spring, one player from Compuware and two players from Belle Tire are likely to be selected in this years WHL draft, and several Belle Tire 91's are receiving interest as free agent players by OHL teams, and its very clear that a high level of talent will be on display for the Major Junior scouts when Belle Tire and Compuware meet on Saturday ... and the rest of the season for that matter.
