Following this last weekend's "Battle of Iowa" the USHL's fall classic tournament is taking place this weekend. It should be a really interesting tournament...every year each team has something about them that stands out from the others. It's kind of neat to be able to see how each team works and what their strategy for the season is going to be. I'm interested to find out how the west division plays. For some reason they always seem to have some of the strongest teams...especially in Sioux Falls and Omaha. I suppose good coaching, solid organizations and a great fan base make for teams that can dominate. In the east I'm obviously looking to see how Cedar Rapids does (Waterloo...hopefully they lose), and then Greenbay. It's not to say that this weekend will necessarily determine which team will be the powerhouse this season, but I think it's a pretty realistic game atmosphere. Hopefully none of the players freak out under the pressure. Another nice thing will be that B2 networks are broadcasting the games online. The schedule is as follows:
Thursday, September 24th
Indiana vs. Lincoln, 10:00 AM
Green Bay vs. Des Moines, 1:00 PM
Team USA vs. Tri-City, 4:00 PM
Cedar Rapids vs. Sioux City, 7:00 PM

Waterloo vs. Sioux Falls, 1:00 PM
Indiana vs. Fargo, 4:00 PM

Saturday, September 26th
