On Friday February 17, to kick off Hockey Weekend Across America in Illinois, eight AHAI High School All State players were invited to participate in a “Shootout” event at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates hosted by the ECHL Express Hockey Junior team. The event took place during the first intermission of the game. Representing Girls High School Hockey were: Alenna Serviss of Latin (SR-goalie), Morgan Crane of New Trier (FR), Madelyn Hartman of Barrington (FR) and Shannah Schumacher of Warren (JR). Representing Boys High School Hockey were Marty Napleton of St Rita (JR-goalie), Garrison Sanipass of Glenbrook North (JR), Joe Salvi of Carmel Catholic (SR) and Jimmy Philbin of Glenbrook South (SR). The winners of the event were Morgan Crane and Garrison Sanipass. The players, their families and friends enjoyed the game and the event.

There were no capes or Clark Kent glasses in sight, but the players in Sunday’s Metro North All-Star Games were Supermen nonetheless. A sellout crowd witnessed excellent hockey by the league’s top players. The scores were secondary to the great play on the ice. Special mention goes to the night's MVP’s:

Jr. Varsity:    
Zack Meier, Glenbrook North junior forward
Brandon Hilliard, Evanston freshman forward

Varsity: 
Garrison Sanipass, Glenbrook North junior forward
Michael Gordon, HIghland Park senior goalie

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the players and coaches.

Congratulations to the Glenbrook North Spartans for their regular season first place finish at both the Varsity and Jr. Varsity levels. The Varsity team went 19-0-3, scoring 104 goals and giving up only 30. The Jr. Varsity team was even stingier, allowing only 10 goals while scoring 121, en route to compiling a 19-1-0 record.
