Plymouth Whalers News Release


WINDSOR - The 2009 Subway Ontario Hockey League All-Star Classic - held Tuesday and Wednesday at the Windsor Family Credit Union Centre - was a success in many ways. On the ice, the Western Conference and Eastern Conference split the two-day affair. The West won Tuesday's Skills Competition and the East won the all-star game last night, 11-6.

The Eastern Conference never trailed in the game and pulled away from a 3-3 tie after twenty minutes, leading 6-4 after two periods of play.

OHL CUP-BOUND COMPUWARE U-16's ROLL ON

On the surface, a recent Midget Minor game played between Compuware and Little Caesars didn't seem to matter much. But a closer look around the small crowd at the Compuware Arena watching the game told a slightly different story.

With Ontario Hockey League scouts from Kitchener, Plymouth, London and Central Scouting watching, the Compuware Under-16's scored two goals late in the third period to earn a 4-4 tie in a Midwest Elite Tier I Hockey League game played January 31 at Compuware Arena.

Compuware came all the way back from a 4-0 deficit in the second period to earn the single point.
