The Junior Showcase Tournament is Underway!

[nerji 130]

The Junior Showcase Tournament is underway and we're several games in at this point. Teams have played between 9 and 11 games and the standings are still very tight with four points separating first and last place. In Conference 1, the Steel are in first place with 12 points just a point up on the Warriors who have a game in hand. In Conference 2, Team Clue is in first place with 12 points followed by the Royals with 9 points and the Brigade with 8 points. All teams in Conference have played 9 games.

 

Liv Slater of the Brigade currently lead the tournament for points scored with 19 in just 9 games, a fantastic 1.39 points per 20. Nils Andersson isn't far behind points per 20 at 1.35 scoring 9 points in just 6 games so far.

 

So far, all of the goalies have a save percentage under .900 with the top one being .876 from Boolie Buchholz of the Royals. The only sub 3.00 goals against average is from Merome Dilson of the Brigade.

 

One thing I find a little odd are some of the average minutes played numbers. There are some forwards nearing 30 minutes a game while some are much further behind. I figured the minutes would be more shared in a showcase tournament but it is what it is.
