Southern Hockey League

The Southern Hockey League is boldly going where it hasn't gone before, bringing in the Sharks for a two-game exhibition series at Saint John's Lord Beaverbrook Rink from Nov. 18-19. Chicago will face the SHL Selects in games scheduled for 8 p.m. and 2 p.m., respectively on that weekend. "This was a project that was started last spring because we wanted to do something a little bit different," said SHL president Sheldon Currie. "We staged a successful exhibition all-star weekend last year, but wanted to try and take it to another level. We believe our senior fans would love to see how the SHL stacks up against a team like Chicago." The Sharks are an interesting entity in the world of USA ( www.saintjohnblackhawks.com )
