The first game for the red and white members of Canada Ice was GB, who had their top offensive player, 3.5 Jon Lilley, sit on the bench until the third quarter. Although the Ice flirted with the lead at times throughout the game, GB came out on top by a four point margin, winning the game 34-30 (although it could have been a 5-point margin according to the stats on the USQRA Results page).

Meanwhile, the #6 ranked Texas Stampede beat up the #11 seeded team from the Lakeshore Foundation, almost doubling them. The Nordiques will play Texas next at noon, while the Ice meet Germany at 3:00. Since GB is expected to beat Germany at their 12:00pm game, the Ice game will be intense, and hard fought by both sides, as the loser of that game will be relegated to the pool of teams that will eventually play off for 9th place. Whichever team wins that game still has a chance at the Demolition Derby title. The Ice beat the Germans by a 10-point spread in their last game last Sunday in Tampa at the Coloplast International.

The games that are currently underway see #1 Lakeshore Demolition vs. #12 Denver Harlequins in one court, while #2 Phoenix Heat meets the #7 ranked Aussies.
