Another outstanding tournament.  The Minneapolis Rink Rats captured their 3rd title in 4 years with an exciting overtime victory over the Thunder Bay Nighthawks.  This years Sportsmanship Award was presented to the International Falls Flying Blades.  There were no significant injuries reported, although the Dryden Spartans reported a couple players not being able to play their last game due to injury.  The Spartans did win a thrilling shootout vs the Nighthawks in the round robin.  The new team to this years tournament, the Thunder Bay Warriors, made it to the semi-finals and played well.  The Dryden Crusaders made it to the semi-finals for the 2nd year in a row, but lost to the eventual champions both times.  The Victory Kings displayed some blazing speed and tenacity and were fun to watch.  I-Falls had a handful of players unable to join the team in Dryden which hurt their depth.  The Lakehead Pylons once again had a strong showing and played solid in all of their games.  All-in-all, a great tournament with lots of exciting action.  Dan Robinson once again did a great job running the tournament.   

[March 5th, 2009]
Defending champions Northland will not be able to attend this year, so we will be back to a 11 team format with 2 pools.  We will have a new team from Thunder Bay (Warriors) attending for the first time.  2009 tournament information is now available. 

[February 21st, 2009]
Video from the 2008 tournament will be available soon.  We will have 12 teams this year, broken down into 3 pools.  A new exciting format with 1st place tie-breakers will add some more fun to the mix.  The 2009 tournament info, rules, pools and schedule will be posted as soon as it is released by Dan.  We will be having 1 new team join the tournament this year.

[March 18th, 2008]
Photos and team pictures are coming in, and being added as they are received from fans and team reps.  Videos shoud be ready later in the week.

[March 16th, 2008]
The tournament was once again a success, with no significant injuries reported.  The Northland Pioneers defeated the Thunder Bay Nighthawks 2-0 in the finals.  The first time either team had made it to the big game.  The new tournament format of penalty minutes and sportsmanship being the primary focus was a rousing success.  A new sportsmanship trophy was introduced this year, called the Pastor Archie Dyck sportsmanship award, which was awarded to Grace (Selkirk) for the team with the fewest penalty minutes in the tourny.  The Dryden Crusaders were one goal away from going to the championship game, losing 2-1 in the semi's to the eventual champions.  The Crusaders struggled mightily in previous years, so the dramatic turn around was exciting for the home town crowd.  On the flip side, the Lakehead Pylons who were in the finals in 2007, went winless in the 2008 round robin.  Just goes to show how tight the competition is from year to year, with 2 new finalists as well.  The Dryden Spartans sported new uniforms this year, and looked really slick.

[March 22nd, 2007]
The tournament was a success, with no significant injuries reported.  Minneapolis Rink Rats defended their title with another impressive showing in the finals over Lakehead.  It was Lakehead's first appearance in the finals.  The first phase of video and pictures have been posted to the site, along with the scoring summaries.  Please, if any of you have video or pictures, please send them along to the webmaster.  It's difficult to capture all the teams when you only have a couple people submitting stuff.  Especially need team photos !

[March 15th, 2007]
The Victory-Dryden Crusader Kings team will not be able to play, so that brings the teams to 11.  The Providence Freemen were going to be participating as the Morden Mohawks, but were able to work it out so they can continue to play as the Providence Freemen.

[February 9th, 2007]
The 2007 tournament schedule has been posted.  We will be having a record 12 teams in this years tournament.  The Northland Pioneers will be returning after an extended absence and a new team from Thunder Bay called the Nighthawks will be joining us as well.  Dryden and Winnipeg will be combining one team to be the Victory-Dryden Crusader Kings.

[January 19th, 2007]

The website has been re-redesigned !  I still need help with adding more pictures and video to the site.  If any of you have anything you can send me, it would be greatly appreciated and added to the site.  Email the webmaster here (Brent Moorman)  All the videos on this site I now have hosted on YouTube.  If you have videos that are large, but under 100 MB and under 10 minutes in length, they can be posted there.  Either send the video to me or you can host it on YouTube yourself and just let me know where it is so I can link to it.

[March 19th, 2006]
The 2006 tournament lived up to the hype, with all 9 teams proving to be competitive from top to bottom.  Providence Bible College from Manitoba joined us for the first time, and finished first in the round robin, but fell short in the semi-finals to the eventual champions Central Baptist from Minnesota.  Faith made a great run, outscoring their opponents 11-3 in the round robin.  Victory played very solid in their own end, backed up with goaltender Costa Aglogallos.  I-Falls failed to repeat as champion, missing out on the semi-finals.  I-Falls goalie Rob Tchop set aside his St.Louis Blues equipment for a retro look.  Lakehead played very solid with goalie Sam Hawkins leading the way.  They lost 2 close games in the round robin which could have went either way.  Selkirk had a lot of good playmaking forwards and was fun to watch.  Both Dryden teams were dissapointed, going a combined 0-7 in this years tournament.  Next year fellas !!  Thanks to all the teams/players for making this a fun event.  Most of all, I'd like to thank tournament organizer Dan Robinson for his tireless efforts in arranging for ice time, referees, timekeepers, dressing rooms, etc.  Another job well done Dan !!
Also, if anyone has pictures/team photos, please send them to the webmaster Brent Moorman

[March 19th, 2005]
The 2005 tournament was a huge success!  Thanks to Dan Robinson for all his hard work organizing it.  I-Falls wins another tournament, their 4th in 6 years.  Let somebody else win it will ya ! ;-)   The Victory Kings made a nice run to the finals for the 2nd straight year, only to lose again in a heart-breaker.  They were the only team to go undefeated throughout the round robin.  Grace took a couple hard losses, but did manage a win over Dryden.  Dryden went from first last year, to worst this year.  They were missing 3 of their best players, and debuted a rookie goalie.  Lakehead appeared to be an improved team, and played quite well at times.  Lakehead goalie Sam Hawkins was very solid again this year.  Faith won the C-side final convincingly, and the Cavey brothers were a force once again for Faith.  Central looked like the team in this tourny to beat but ran into a hot I-Falls team in the semi's.  Central's defenseman Tharp was very impressive.

Website re-designed. 

[March 31st, 2004]
Website updated with information received to date.  If any of you out there have 2004 pictures of your teams, or action shots, please send them along to the webmaster Brent Moorman

[March 27th, 2004] Coming into the finals, Dryden looked like they were unstoppable.  Victory came in with a good team, but got a few good breaks by backing into the semi's.  Dryden won in a close semi-final versus I-Falls 4-3, and Victory surprised Faith with 5-2 semi-final win. 
The finals was a fun game to watch.  Victory never gave up, and kept trying to penetrate the Dryden zone.  Dryden jumped out to a 4-1 lead, only to see if evaporate to 4-3 with less than a minute on the clock.  Dryden held on to win their first championship in 10 years.

[March 22nd, 2004]
Added a Multimedia section with pictures and video clips

[March 4th, 2004]

[March 29th, 2003]
 
International Falls continues their dominance of this tournament, winning 3 of the last 4 years.  Goaltender Rob Tchop is becoming known as "Mr. Clutch" for his late game heroics.  The Flying Blades have come from obscurity to the top of this tournament.  A decade ago, this team was by far the worst in the tournament, but they have shown they are ready to play every year, and are the team to beat coming in.  Their talented 'big guns' are the game breakers and can make things happen in a hurry.

Dryden played an exciting run through to the finals.  The 2003 finals were one of the most entertaining and close in several years.  I know I was jumping out of my seat many times watching and cheering. 

Many thanks to all the teams that participated, and we are looking forward to the 2004 to be a continued success.  This tournament couldn't have happened without the hard work of organizer Dan Robinson.  Thanks so much Dan for making this the weekend of the year !!
