A’s Planning Trip to Green Bay Gamblers Game
Posted: December 5, 2011
The Sheboygan Athletic Club and the Sheboygan A’s are inviting you to attend the Green Bay Gamblers hockey game on Friday, February 3rd at 7:05 P.M. when the Gamblers take on the Indiana Ice.
Prices and transportation are still being finalized.
The Green Bay Gamblers are a Tier 1 junior ice hockey team in the East Division of the United States Hockey League (USHL). They play at the Resch Center.
The USHL is the top junior ice hockey league in the United States. The USHL has 16 member teams located in the Midwestern United States, consisting of players who are 20 years of age and younger. The USHL is considered a “feeder” for NCAA hockey, with 95% of players committing to division one college hockey programs.
The Gamblers are considered one of the best junior organizations in North America, having won the USHL regular season title, called the Anderson Cup, in 2008-09 and again in 2009-10. The Gamblers went on to win the playoff championship, called the Clark Cup, in 2009-10. In the process, the Gamblers set a USHL record for attendance at a playoff game, with over 8,000 fans in attendance. The Gamblers returned to the Clark Cup finals last season, losing to the Dubuque Fighting Saints 3-1 in the best-of-five series. The Gamblers currently have 18 players committed to division one colleges, as well as two players who have already been drafted by NHL teams, and one player who many scouts have projected to be a first round NHL draft pick in 2012.
As of this writing, the Gamblers currently sit atop the standings of the USHL.
Please join us for what is sure to be a fun night at the rink!
