Pieces of USHL Finals to Hall of Fame

Press Release

Several items from the historic Game Five of the USHL Clark Cup Finals are on their way to Toronto to be put on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Among the pieces of memorabilia are the game stick and gloves used by Green Bay Gamblers forward Anders Lee who was named Clark Cup Playoff MVP. Lee tallied a League-leading 22 points (10g, 12a) in the playoffs using the CCM U+ CL stick and CCM HG 4R Pro gloves. He equaled a game high three points (1g, 2a) in the decisive Game Five against the Fargo Force, including the game-tying goal in the third period.

Additional items include ticket stubs and a game program from Game Five, which boasted a record sellout crowd of 8,487 at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was the largest crowd to attend a Gamblers home game and the largest attendance figure in USHL playoff history. A copy of the next morning's Green Bay Gazette depicting the Gamblers first Clark Cup title in ten years will also be contributed to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
