Kings of East Coast Showcase

The Kings of East Coast Summer Showcase gets underway tomorrow, Tues. July 31st and runs through Thurs. Aug. 2nd.

The Showcase -- for '99s, '00s, '01s, and '02s -- consists of 10 teams made up entirely of top uncommitted players, so you may find a diamond in the rough.

Due to ice problems at Tsongas Arena, Tuesday's games have been shifted to the Salem IceCenter (60 Lowell Road, Salem, NH). The schedule will remain the same. It is hoped that Wednesday and Thursday's game will be held back at Tsongas. We'll keep you informed.

The tournament is run by Vinnie Montalbono and John Healy.
