Friday brings a number of interesting games including the feature matchup of #2 UBC and #6 Concordia in the Guy Vetrie tournament at UVic which unfortunately for those of us on the East Coast doesn't begin until 11 PM Eastern time. The #10 Cape Breton Capers, fresh off an overtime win against #8 Brock, tangle with York Lions, who played yesterday without star Tut Ruach who had been expected back. Guelph Gryphons have a chance for a big road win as they meet Alberta in the Golden Bear Invitational. Gryphons prized transfer Borko Popic is still unavailable for Guelph in this tournament as he last played on December 30th, 2005 for Hawaii-Pacific and must still out one calendar year while transfering. Three Great Plains division teams are in the semi-finals of the 40th Wesmen Classic including the feature cross-town rivalry game between Manitoba and the host Winnipeg Wesmen.
