SEASON NOTES

Dubuque, Kansas City, Omaha and Waterloo competed in the 2015 USA Hockey High School National Championships in Chesterfield, Missouri, March 19-23. All four teams advanced to the championship bracket after three games of pool play. Omaha and Waterloo lose in the quarterfinals, Kansas City is eliminated in the semifinals, and Dubuque loses 2-1 in the championship game to Cherry Creek, Colorado.

For the first time in the six-year history of the high school national championships, teams are divided into pure and combined divisions. MHSHL teams compete in the combined division that includes teams that draw players from more than one high school.

Kansas City Jets win its first regular-season championship.

Policy Changes:
1. The League's "multiplier rule" for game misconducts is discontinued - only USA Hockey multiplier rules are enforced.
2. Because there is a sliding scale for the number of protected players based on team enrollment, protected players are now ineligible to participate in Junior Varsity games.
3. Players must now receive a minimum of 6 votes during the second round of voting to be declared an All-Star.

The Varsity year-end tournament was held at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena February 27 to March 1. The Jr. Varsity teams met the following weekend at Ames March 6-8.
