MAC SHOWCASE
History
The MAC Showcase was created during the 2008-09 season. For the first time, you could see all the MAC teams play on the same weekend, at the same location.
For the 2009-10 season, the OAA (Oakland Athletic Association) was invited to team up with the MAC to form a MAC-OAA Showcase. The concept for the expanded showcase was to pair each MAC team to a OAA team for one game. Pairings were determined by the rankings on the USHSHO Michigan High School Hockey Rankings website, after the third week of January (www.ushsho.com/mirank.htm). Based upon the USHSHO rankings, each MAC team is ranked from top to bottom. Each OAA team is separately ranked from top to bottom based on their USHSHO rankings. Each MAC-OAA contest is then determined by pairing 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, and so on.
2011-12 MAC-OAA Showcase
This year's Showcase event will be held on Saturday February 4th at the Rochester Onyx Ice Arena.
On January 16th, the weekly rankings from the Michigan High School Hockey Ranking provided on the USHSHO website were used to seed the 15 MAC teams and to seed the 15 OAA teams. Below are the pairings based upon the seeding (slight adjustments were made if MAC-OAA teams had recently played; games ordered by start time):

2009-10 MAC-OAA Showcase
For the 2009-10 season, the MAC Showcase became the MAC-OAA Showcase. The showcase event was held on Saturday February 6th at the Rochester Onyx Ice Arena.
Since there were 18 MAC teams and only 14 OAA teams, a couple of things were done to balance the game schedule. Two MAC teams dropped out of the showcase, and two of the remaining "extra" MAC teams played a game against each other in the showcase.
Below are the pairings and results from the showcase:
