Brooks and his fellow USHLers played in the Fall Classic this past Wednesday through Saturday, a massive preseason showcase of every team held in Sioux City, home of Tommy Olczyk's Musketeers (assistant coach Keith Fisher represented PSU at the event, a must-attend for college recruiters and NHL scouts)...Brooks was a -1 with three shots in the loss to the Force...he was also involved in a third-period brawl that saw 30 minutes in penalties handed out...he had two of the Storm's 11 shots (vs. 40 against) in the Thursday defeat...Brooks sat out of Friday's trashing at the hands of the Gamblers.

Captain Glen's goal opened the scoring against Drayton Valley 8:01 into the game...while he didn't snipe in Saturday's win, he and the other returning Saints received their AJHL championship rings in a pre-game ceremony...Spruce Grove is off to a good start in their quest to get another of these rings with a 5-0-1 record.

The Steel slumped to 0-4-0 on the season against Drayton Valley, although Linaker had very little to do with that considering he helped account for every St. Albert goal, all of which were on the power play...a power play assist in the Friday Sherwood Park game helped force the game to overtime...as so often happens, the second game with the Crusaders saw a ton of penalty time handed out, although Linaker didn't get involved in that.

McAdam started Waterloo's final exhibition game before the Fall Classic and held up pretty well against a barrage of Buccaneer shots...however another spurt of quick goals against (three in 5:10 in the second period) plus a Des Moines power play tally with 19 seconds left proved his undoing...McAdam opened the Indiana game but was relieved halfway through by Cal Peterson with his team facing a 3-0 hole...he served as Jay Williams' backup against Fargo in the Black Hawks' showcase-opening win and also sat out of the closer against Team USA.

In the win over McAdam's Blackhawks, Varley took three shots and took a -1 rating for being on for a Waterloo goal that trimmed his team's lead to 3-2 late in the second...he followed with another shot and a -1 in Des Moines' Fall Classic loss to Sioux Falls, in which they squandered all eight power play chances...the last two losses both required extra time (Indiana in OT, Chicago in a shootout)...Varley was part of the three-man PK that gave up the Steel's tying goal on Friday with just over five minutes remaining.

Through a Lions247 interview, Welsh clarified his decision to come to Penn State, including naming alternate choices Yale, Quinnipiac, Brown, St. Lawrence, Cornell, Boston University and Vermont...Salisbury coach Andrew Will describes him as "a very strong, puck-moving, two-way defenseman. He’s physical, has really good mobility, plays with an edge and has offensive ability. He sees the ice really well and has a good heavy shot."

Yanis' was originally credited with an unassisted power play goal that staked the Lumberjacks out to a 4-0 lead late in the second, but it was later changed to a first assist (possibly due to an unseen deflection)...the Steel tried to get some measure of revenge in the third as the Detroit-area native ended up in two fights three seconds apart (one only earning him a roughing minor)...those penalties combined with two second-period stick infractions to reach the total of 11...he got in yet another fight in the shootout loss to Dubuque...while Yanis successfully stayed out of the box against Green Bay, he was on the PK unit that gave up the Gamblers' final two goals.

Kern's goals against Victory Honda Friday were the first and third for the Pens in the shutout, meaning she technically was responsible for the game winner...while detailed stats were not available for the final two games of the showcase, we do know that Kern added a goal and an assist in those two outings.
