Today starts Baron Cup I action, mixed in with one Baron Cup III game to start the afternoon off in the opener at 4:30pm.
That first game will feature the number two-seed Normandy Invaders, who this past season went 21-7 in Blue North play, behind the Parma Redmen for the top spot in the division.
Lukas George leads the Invaders attack, as this past season he compiled 30 points, scoring 17 goals with 13 assists.
They will battle the number seven-seed the Westlake Demons, who in the Blue South finished second to Brooklyn with a mark of 12-9.
