Showdown on the Plains
GPCIHL weekend features Lindenwood vs. UMSL
The Great Plains Collegiate Inline Hockey League returns to action this weekend at Matteson Square Gardens Triplex in St. Peters, Mo.
Last season's national finalists, Lindenwood and UM-St. Louis, will face off at 4 pm Saturday. Check out Slamm Hockey for a detailed preview: http://slammhockey-ncrha.blogspot.com/2009/01/game-of-week-year.html.
The independent Slamm site (www.slammhockey.com) calls it the NCRHA national Game of the Week.
In other featured games, Division II newcomer SIU-Edwardsville will have a chance to prove that its 7-1 start is no fluke. The Cougars will play three games on Sunday, including a game against Lindenwood at 1 pm, and a showdown with second-place Missouri State at 3 pm.
Missouri State has a big weekend itself. The Bears open the weekend Saturday morning with a game against St. Charles CC.
