Visit
Fort
Wayne
is
happy
to
announce
the
booking
of
a
group
that
definitely
knows
how
to
keep
things
cool.
The
Great
Lakes
Junior
Hockey
League
will
hold
their
annual
scouting
showcase
at
Fort
Wayne's
Lutheran
Health
Sports
Center
this
December
15-?18.
This
new
facility
is
a
perfect
venue
for
the
event
and
adds
nicely
to
our
competitive
sports
and
tournament
offerings
for
groups
like
these.
GLJHL
is
made
up
of
12
teams
that
spread
across
Indiana,
Michigan,
Ohio,
Illinois
and
Wisconsin.
Each
team
is
made
up
of
about
25
male
players
ages
16-?20.
In
addition,
the
showcase
offers
the
players
an
opportunity
to
show
off
their
talents
to
approximately
40
college
scouts
from
around
the
nation,
who
will
also
attend
the
event.
Fort
Wayne's
own
Federals,
coached
by
Kevin
Shupenia,
will
participate
in
the
cross-?league
competition.
Though
the
team
is
new
to
the
league,
making
their
season
debut
last
year,
Coach
Shupenia
worked
with
Visit
Fort
Wayne's
Josie
O'Donnell
to
show
the
league
why
Fort
Wayne's
central
location
and
great
accommodations
would
be
great
for
this
event.
The
showcase
is
expected
to
bring
in
around
750
attendees
to
the
Lutheran
Health
Sports
Center,
and
Visit
Fort
Wayne
hopes
to
retain
the
GLJHL
showcase
for
many
years
to
come.
