The G.L.J.H.L. has decided to develop a development league for all player 8U to Senior Adult teams that wish to play hockey at a fraction of the cost of ice hockey. We have decided to teach hockey by using the inlne format to help develop skills and talent for those players whose desire is to play on the Professional, Collegiate and WORLD TEAMS representing the United States. Sanctioned by the U.S.O.C. and backed by AAU's insurance plan, second to none we will have a greater impact on skill development for 1/12th of the cost of ice. With USA Hockey raising their registration fee to $45.00 still kicking back to the State affiliate a minimum of $8.00 over the already kicked back amount of at least $5.00 we feel that their attitude shift from improving the game to more conern for MEDALS & MONEY was not in the best interest of the player or the game, we chose to go into a different direction. Our Junior Division will be treated just as Juniors in ice hockey, 48-60 game schedule, transportation, lodging and meals, equipment, tounaments all for one inclusive fee. A national Tournament is planned and these teams and players will be able to be qualified for Team USA in the World Championships in 2013. Our youth divisions will have coaches who have the ability to teach the game, to keep your young players interest in he game for a long time to come. "We are extremely excited about this new opportunity to increase the awareness of the game of hockey while at the same time reducing the cost to 1/12 of what is normally charged to receive less exposure, less opportunity. All those interested in creating an inline teams to compete at this level please contact the commisioner at info@gljhl.com

A Great and powerful ventureGreat Lakes Junior Hockey League rebrands with new direction in Tier-3 market
By Joshua Boyd
Waves crashing against sheer cliffs, lighthouse beacons flashing their reassuring light, and an endless horizon of blue water. The Great Lakes are considered “inland seas” for a good reason. Add in their sheer size and importance to commerce and you’d think you were talking about the Atlantic or Pacific Oceans. The lakes are like a sovereign state in and of themselves, and the people are similarly independent-minded folk not afraid to express their opinions. Gerry Lullove, a native of the Great Lakes region spending all of his life in Michigan, has some strong opinions about the Tier-3 junior league that calls this region home, the Great Lakes Junior Hockey League. “In 2008, I had a Tier-3 Jr. A team in the Central States Hockey League [now the NA3HL] and I wanted to start a feeder system for these CSHL teams,” said Lullove, owner of the Motor City Chiefs. “Nine of the 12 teams weren’t interested. So, myself, Mark Hammersmith, owner of the Chicago Hitmen at the time, and Terry Kucharski, owner of the Michigan Ice Dogs moved on.” The GLJHL, of which Lullove is also commissioner, has recently seen its Jr. B classification fall away with USA Hockey’s cancellation of the “sub-classification” of the three tiers. Now, the league carries the same classification as longtime leagues such as the Eastern Junior Hockey League (EJHL), Atlantic Junior Hockey League (AJHL) and Western States Hockey League (WSHL). With this new identity as simply Tier-3, the GLJHL has rolled out a new look logo and wants to start over, in one sense, but to also illustrate the experience in junior (and even pro) hockey its Board of Directors can offer to a hockey player looking to move up in his career. “The great advantages of the GLJHL is the proximity of play for the players,” said Mark Vichorek, coach of the Central Wisconsin Saints. “A lot have been overlooked by the USHL and the NAHL and this gives them an opportunity for great exposure. Several Division 1 schools as well as Division 3 schools now have a greater opportunity to see these kids play and it is close to their campuses.” The league actually started out as a Jr. C circuit, jumping out with seven teams in Year 1, the 2008-09 season. That was also the first season four former Jr. B leagues across the country (WSHL, CSHL, Minnesota Junior League and Northern Pacific League) became Tier-3 Jr. A circuits. The GLJHL made sure not to get lost in the junior hockey shuffle, as one of its member teams, the Chicago Huskies, went out and won the USA Hockey Jr. C National Championship right off the bat in 2009. USA Hockey had seen enough. In January of that first season, before the Huskies even went to Nationals, the Junior Council recognized that these teams were operating at a much higher level than Jr. C. They were granted Tier-3 Jr. B status well ahead of the 2009-10 season and, Lullove points out, exempted from the usual waiting period of two years at the Jr. C level. For that second year and its first as a Jr. B league, the GLJHL added two more teams and stood at nine. Two of its teams, the Chicago Huskies and the Lakes Cup (league playoff) champion Michigan Mountain Cats, made their Jr. B Nationals debut. The Huskies were able to tie Maksymum Hockey for the first Jr. B Nationals points by a GLJHL team, not to mention putting a great showing for the infant league against a team from the well-established Empire Junior Hockey League. More teams wanted what the GLJHL had to offer, leaving other leagues to join the circuit and bring the membership to 11 teams for 2010-11. The Michigan Ice Dogs and Lakes Cup winner Chicago Hitmen (now known as the Bulldogs) made the trip to Marlboro, Mass., for the Jr. B Nationals. There, the Hitmen earned the league’s first Jr. B Nationals win, an 8-2 defeat of the Walpole Express, a team from another well-established Jr. B circuit, the Metropolitan Junior Hockey League.
New look, same idealsWith the approach of the 2011-12 season, the GLJHL’s first as simply a Tier-3 junior league, the league welcomed its 12th team, the Kalkaska Roughnecks. As evidence of its junior hockey “cred,” one of the Roughnecks owners who were attracted to the league is Reid Simpson. A former Chicago Blackhawk with 301 NHL games to his name, Simpson’s pro hockey acumen and Rocky Trottier, who played 7 season with 2 seasons with the New Jersey Devils. Rocky’s 2 brothers Monte and Bryan also played in the NHL should help to show prospective junior players this league is serious about player development and advancement by the hundreds. They, the league are also committed to not taking players and their parents for a financial ride down a slippery slope. “We’re doing this for a lot less. We control costs by controlling our travel, only allowing teams in states bordering the Great Lakes,” said Lullove. “We use our scouting showcases as crossover games between the divisions. The average price for a season is anywhere between $4,500 and $6,000 per year. There are teams out there charging $9,000 or more – for what?” Lullove projects that the league will stay at 12 teams, allowing the league to pick up more quality players and enhance its reputation among the junior hockey leagues. No more “alphabet soup” in Tier-3 will be a big help toward that end, Lullove said. “We’re very happy the letter labels are off,” Lullove added. “This new format puts the burden back on the leagues to sell what they do. We’ve been very successful the last three years selling what we do and backing up what we say we will do.” Chicago Jr. Bulldogs owner Ken Kestas likes the number of squads in the league. “The mere fact that there are 12 teams in the GLJHL this year is a great reason. Some of the older, established leagues only have four or five teams in their division which means, in a 44-game schedule, these teams would play each other 10 times,” said Kestas. “The more teams in your league and divisions establish a greater diversity of talent and coaching philosophy.” With the new letter-less format, the league decided to move forward with a new logo. The Board of Directors felt the league is now strong enough it doesn’t need to “put the Great Lakes states logo in people’s faces anymore.” Taking out the states image, the league also shows it is welcoming players from all across the country, not just the upper Midwest. “We’re letting people know in other parts of the country, this is what we do – we’re cost-effective and we’re still teaching the game,” said Lullove. “We’re lucky to have former NHL players who are either owners or coaches, as well as former NCAA Division 1 players as coaches.” “We’ll brand ourselves and people will know what to expect, just like they see a soft drink logo and they know what that taste is by the brand,” he added. The GLJHL has recently added a Director of Canadian Scouting to bring some players from north of the border into a system that could eventually deliver them to U.S. college hockey. “There are 730 [amateur] American players in Canada and only something like 275 Canadians playing in the U.S. There’s something wrong with that,” Lullove said. The GLJHL is also, for now, staying independent of any direct affiliations with other leagues. Individual teams may have affiliations, but the GLJHL is not a feeder for any one league. “We felt that an affiliation restricts the players in their movement,” said Lullove. “We’ll promote players to any league they want to go to.” Every owner of a team in the league is a member of the Board of Directors. Wherever the league goes from here in the future, every team will have a say. In an area of North America that was once the frontier for two countries, the GLJHL sees itself as a pioneer in manufacturing its own success on its name, and no longer on “alphabet soup.” G.L.J.H.L. ADDS MEDIA RELATIONS DIRECTOR
NEWS RELEASE G.L.J.H.L. today announced that they have added a Director of Media Relations to the G.L.J.H.L. staff. Brenden Thomas will be responsible for all Media communication for the league which will include our new advertising campaign, writing and publishing articles about the league as well as highlighting each team on a weekly rotating basis and placing them in media print such as Hockey Weekly, Let’s Play Hockey & Hockey Stop etc. Brenden, besides playing the game, was the radio show host for the Avalanche 2 years ago in Denver. He produced and wrote the pre-game shows for them. Brenden will be responsible for all advertising for the G.L.J.H.L. as well as being involved in publicizing our league events. Brenden contact info is: media@gljhl.com G.L.J.H.L. GOES INTERNATIONAL
The G.L.J.H.L. today announced that the league has turned a long standing relationship into an affiliation and connection into the Canadian Junior hockey scene by naming Chris Morton as Director, Canadian Scouting. As Head Coach of the Toronto East Enders Hockey Club, Chris and his program continue to attend a number of U.S. Showcase events throughout the year. Not only with the Motor City Chiefs exhibition weekend and the annual G.L.J.H.L. Ironman Showcase but they also recruit teams for and participate in the annual Mercyhurst College "Homecoming Weekend" Showcase. The East Enders continues to expose their players to teams from various junior leagues throughout the U.S. Chris also serves as the Tournament Director for the Gardner Cup Challenge Showcase event held annually in Toronto. Chris has developed strong relationships with many teams playing in the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL). Through several team affiliation agreements, continued player placement and development, Chris has nurtured a strong network of contacts. These new G.L.J.H.L. recruitment initiatives will now provide greater access to our players to a new avenue of player development. The East Enders program has been a participant of the annual Motor City Chiefs Exhibition Weekend in August since its inception and has been a great competitor and friend to many teams that have attended this event, over the years. It has created several fun rivalries amongst the teams playing Chris' program. "This event has become our Early Bird start up to each season and a definite focal point of our year," said Chris, “our players look forward to this trip every year and playing this spirited brand of U.S. Junior Hockey. The energy and structure surrounding the G.L.J.H.L. that has been brought forth as a new league, with a sound ownership group, solid Team Management, and group of quality Coaches, has created an exciting environment to play in. I'm very excited to be part of the league’s new development initiatives. Watching this league develop from its simple beginnings and being part of its annual Showcase event, has created a definite buzz with our affiliates north of the border. Hockey is not that different in Canada, than the U.S., in that everyone is looking to improve on player development. Exposure to all levels of this game is as important to players striving to live out their dream and we find the G.L.J.H.L. mission and direction best fits our needs as well as that of our players." This relationship will now open the door for Canadian players to have a direct link to U.S. Hockey and the additional scouting opportunities we can provide," said G.L.J.H.L. President Gerry Lullove,"as we look to provide and expand our opportunities for all our players. This gives the G.L.J.H.L. a two-way direction for players to have the outlets to move up in the game." We welcome Chris Morton, as well as the East Enders Hockey Club to our league and to our family. PLAYER SCOUTING SHOWCASE A SUCCESS
This years Ironman Scouting Showcase, so called because each team played 4 game in 3 days was a successful event for the 40 scouts that were in attendance. The scouts had an opportunity to see 265 players from the GLJHL & 25 players from our guest team the East Enders from Toronto Canada. The Scouts and College representatives had a menu of talent, skill and Hockey sense to choose from and that they did. Players from all 12 teams were spoken to, business cards and team brochures were passed out and committments were offered, giving players the opportunity to set their course and plan their future in hockey for the 2012-13 season. Some players, 9 to be exact, were offered opportunities to start college this January and begin playing their college careers. " This is what we do, said Lullove, GLJHL President, we develop, make them better and move them on, we don't hold back like others may do to win titles or banners, it is important for them to get their college life going and we support their decision to leave now or stay to the end of the current season. Our philosophy is that we want 25 new players every year on every team, that doesn't happen but it's a league goal to have it happen. Wright College Head Coach Gary Sands said, " this is a wonderful opportunity to see 300 players under one roof in one event and have a selection of talented and skilled hockey players to choose from. It's cost effective and gives us a great start in recruting for next season. We look forward to signing some players from the GLJHL and we look forward to returning next December 2012. We couldn't agree more with Coach Sands and our players appreciate the opportunity to have been able to perform for all the scouts in attendance. SHOWCASE SCOUTS IN ATTENDANCEG.L.J.H.L.
