D-3 Challenge - UPDATED

Plan on heading up to north this weekend, where I'll be watching some of best teams in Division 3 play in the Gaylord Showcase. There will be good representation by West Michigan teams including Big Rapids, Cadillac, East Grand Rapids and GR Catholic Central.

While there are no teams from the U.P. this year, there are still some powerhouses. Watch out for Flint Powers (5-1 overall), which has been destroying teams. In its five wins this season, Powers has outscored its opponents 26-4. Its only loss came 3-2 versus Notre Dame Prep.

And don't be fooled by Divine Child's 2-2-1 record or the 1-4-1 mark Grosse Ile will bring to the Challenge. Both have played tough schedules to open the season against the likes of Trenton, Orchard Lake St. Mary's, Wyandotte Roosevelt, ND Prep and, for good measure, each other (they tied 3-3). Should be a great weekend of hockey. The schedule follows:

Friday, Dec. 14th
9:00am - St. Clair 5 Divine Child 2
11:15am - Chelsea 8 Cadillac 5
1:30pm - Flint Powers 2 Dexter 1
3:45pm - Grosse Ile 4 Big Rapids 3
6:00pm - Riverview 2 East Grand Rapids 1
8:15pm - GR Catholic Central 9 Gaylord 4

Saturday, Dec. 15th
9:00am - Riverview vs. Cadillac
11:15am - Chelsea vs. St. Clair
1:30pm - Flint Powers vs. East Grand Rapids
3:45pm - Grosse Ile vs. Grand Rapids Catholic Central
6:00pm - Divine Child vs. Big Rapids
8:15pm - Dexter vs. Gaylord
