I have just talked to Dave Emblem to get the straight skinny on what is happening with Division for as it relates to the Brisbane / Bris-Gold Coast comps for this winter.

The draft games being held on Tuesday Evenings at Boondall Rink are for a Tuesday evening competition played only in Brisbane. After hearing reports from players in this game, all said that it was brilliant with many who were a little hesitant deciding to jump right in now. From the more experienced players, reports are that the Div 4 will work well. Well done IHQ!
