San Jose Showcase


Well our second showcase is behind us and it was a great four days. We won all five of our games, two in shootouts in overtime, both of which Devin played. We played the team that was in first place, tied them 4-4 and then won in the shootout, taking over first place. At this time we have no losses in regulation, the only team out of 14 teams that has not lost a game in regulation. Though we did have alot of penalties in both of Devins games, 13 to be exact. Two of the penalties against the number one team were full 2 minute 5 on 3's. Once we get the penalties under control, we will do even better. The team is coming together well, passing is second to none and our speed is tremendous. Good coaching has a lot to do with the way the team is looking. After Devin returned home, Clarence received a call from the director of the USHL. He told Clarence that they have been watching Devin over the past few years and he has made every team he has been on better. He said Devin is a franchise player and that they consider him to be the number one goalie in the country. He also said that U of M, MSU, Ohio State, Ferris and a couple of other Division 1 colleges are interested in him. We have a tournament in the Soo next month and in December they go to Boston for the third showcase.
