Ever want to see your coach play? How about in a game vs. alumni players like Andre Lacroix, Brett Harkins, Jeff Christian, Kevin Dahl, Brian Holzinger, Jock Callander, Chris Longo, Perry Genchar, Wayne Muloin, and Mike Wilson??? Well, here's your chance! Coaches from our league will be playing against the pro alumni on Sunday, August 19, 2007, @ 3:00 PM @ The Pond. The game is all part of the event being held as a fundraiser for the Western Reserve Historical Society's Sports Archive from 1:00-5:00 PM. There will be autographs, raffles, and memorabilia there in addition to an open skate. For more information on events and tickets, visit www.skateatthepond.com.

The whole weekend proved to show great representation from all three cities--Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus. The semi-finals brought representation from all three cities for the first time in Buckeye Cup history. Medina finished as Runners-Up in the Buckeye Cup. Congratulations!!! Congratulations to Lakota West from Cincinnati on winning the Championship Game in the Buckeye Cup!

The NCHSHL's first annual All Star Game turned out to be a great event for all--from the spectators to the players. The "Home" and "Away" teams consisted of two players from every league team--awesome to watch the fun rivalry between the two teams, especially when opposing players from the same league team met up with each other on the ice! With this being kept as a minimal-checking game, the skills of every player shined even more! Each player left with a memento and lots of fun memories. Our league award winners were also presented with their plaques provided by the Cleveland Hockey Booster Club. With the current consensus, it looks like this will become a league tradition for years to come. It truly is a great way for all league teams to come together with all rivalries forgotten. Again, congratulations to all players that participated, and thank you to the coaches and parents who helped at the game. It was very evident that these players appreciated your involvement!

The third annual Ohio Buckeye Cup Club High School State Playoff begins Friday, March 2, 2007. It is being held in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in addition to our four North Coast High School Hockey League teams, Columbus and Cincinnati will each provide four teams to represent those cities. Best of luck to #1-Riverside, #2-Rocky River, #3-Medina, and #4-Jackson in all of your state playoff games this weekend! No matter what the end result will be, we know you will make Cleveland proud!

The North Coast High School Hockey League will be having its first annual All Star Game.
