Shamrock Invitational starts Tuesday
Sarniasports.com  November 9th, 2010


Ten teams will begin competition Tuesday afternoon, and all day Wednesday as St. Patrick's High School hosts the 'Shamrock Invitational Boys Hockey Tournament' at the Clearwater Arena.

Seven schools from Lambton County will participate in this tournament, as well as teams from Ridgetown District High School, Lambton-Kent Composite School and St. Thomas of Vilanova. The twos are divided into two divisions, Green and Gold, and will play three round robin games each. The playoffs will follow on Wednesday afternoon after the seeding is completed.

Last year, St. Clair won the championship, with an exciting overtime shootout over St. Thomas of Vilanova. Other past champions include, SCITS, Northern, St. Christopher's and tournament hosts St. Patrick's.

Organizers of this tournament see it as a way for coaches to have an opportunity to observe and evaluate their teams talent prior to the start of the regular season, as well as allow players a chance to work on skill devlopment, tactical play and physical conditions, as the LSSAA hockey season begins the following week.
