Press Release
OMAHA, Neb. – The
Omaha Lancers, in conjunction with the Lincoln Stars, Tri-City Storm
and the United States Hockey League (USHL), are pleased to announce the
creation of the Good Life Cup, a traveling trophy awarded to the
franchise with the highest winning percentage in games between the three
Nebraska teams. In addition to determining Nebraska’s top USHL team,
the Good Life Cup is meant to generate additional fan excitement and
honor the longtime hockey rivalries that exist among the Lancers, Stars
and Storm.
“The Good Life Cup is a great way to promote hockey
in Nebraska,” said Dan Fremuth, Omaha’s Vice President of Business
Operations. “The Lancers, Stars and Storm have rich hockey traditions
and incredibly loyal and passionate fan bases. The Good Life Cup should
only intensify these already tremendous rivalries.”
The Good
Life Cup winner will be the team with the highest winning percentage in
games played against in-state competition. The USHL’s Western
Conference standings are not a factor in deciding the winner, as
separate standings will track head-to-head games between Omaha, Lincoln
and Tri-City.
A traveling trophy - designed with input from
all three teams -will be awarded to Nebraska’s top USHL team and stay
with that organization until the end of the following season. The
inaugural Good Life Cup will be displayed at each team’s rink at
different times throughout the upcoming 2012-2013 season.
