The 2010-2011 hockey season begins tonight for the WIAA defending champions USM Wildcats as they host the 5th Annual Paul Meyer Memorial Tournament.  Expanded this year to a field of eight teams, this tournament is dedicated to the memory of Paul Meyer, his love for his family; his love of hockey, and his family’s deep gratitude for the continued support of the whole USM hockey family.
