Phase 3 is now complete, 240 players competed hard against some of the other top players from Minnesota in Plymouth last weekend. Some 102 of them will be selected to the Phase 4 Camp in St. Cloud in June where 20 will be selected to a National Camp in July. YHH was in Plymouth Sunday to see the final six games of play. Here are game recaps and a few pics of play on Sunday.

Detroit Lakes Bantam Ryan Paskey had a goal and assist to lead District 15 to a 3-0 win over District 9 in a game between two teams looking for their first win of the weekend. District 15 left Plymouth with a 1-1-1 record. Another Laker scored for D15 Sunday William scored for the Maroon. Ethan Miller (Moorhead) and Drew Luhning (Little Falls) combined for the shutout.

Five different skaters scored for District 8 Sunday as the South of the River boys got their first win of the weekend knocking of the Iron Range 5-2. Joey Gimberlin scored Sunday adding to his team leading four points for the weekend. The Sibley star had a nice weekend showing great speed and versatility as great two way player. Two defensemen got on the scoresheet Sunday for D8, Zach Zemlack and Lenny Nunn showed why they both deserve strong consideration for the next phase in the HP process. 

Blake McLaughlin added a goal and an assist for the Rangers finishing the weekend with an impressive six points in three games (4G/2A). 

District 4 and District 16 came into Sunday's game with a lot to play for. First, both teams has not won in their first two games. Second they had combined for only three goals.

District 4 earned a tie on Saturday with a talented District 10 team Saturday night. District 16 battled all weekend without a win and was rewarded with a nice 6-3 win over District 4 to end the Festival Sunday. Roseau's Ben Helgeson had a Hatty for the northern boys as they scored in bunches. East Grand Forks big man Coby Stauss had a nice day with a goal and an assist. 

Game four was one of the best games of the tournament. District 3 and District 5 had several players familiar with one another due to off season Minnesota hockey. A win for either team would give that team bragging rights for the unofficial White Pool title.

District wasted little time getting on the board when Minnetonka's K'Andre Miller scored on the first shift on a pretty pass from Maple Grove's Jordan Randall. D5 answered back a few minutes later when Monticello's Jacob Wickham scored on a high dump in shot that handcuffed Orono's Evan Babekuhl and snuck in the net. In an odd hockey twist, Babekuhl had robbed D5 two previous times minutes prior. Jake Rosenberger got the game winning goal for D5 late in the second half on a shallow angle shot from the corner. 

St. Cloud's Keegan Karki played the entire game for D5 and was easily the number 1 star of the game shutting down D3 on a number of chances in the final minutes.

Game 5 was the game of the day. A civil war between the North's best team, District 11 who had gone 2-0 in the Festival and the Metro's best team the vaunted District 6 team that had outscored its opponents 11-4 in their first two wins. Sunday's game was played for the unofficial Red Pool title. 

D6 came out flying scoring two quick goals. Both by Edina teammates Ben Brinkman and Demetrious Koumontzis. D11 would answer when Ian Mageau scored from a bad angle. State Champion Jack Bayless got D6 back up by two when he used his illegal jet powered skates to burn past a D11 defenseman to score on a pretty backhander. '14 Wiz Wyatt Finalist Landon Langenbrunner would get his fifth goal of the Festival with 24 seconds left in the half to cut the D6 lead to 3-2 at the break.
