Stillwater, Rogers emerge from packed field with titles.


Brock Cheslock (24) scores the game-winner for Rogers SQB in Sunday's championship win over Prior Lake Navy.

SQA Final: Stillwater 5, St. Louis Park 3

Stillwater twice in the first period and three more times in the this to outlast St. Louis Park and earn a 5-3 win in the finals of the Squirtacular Squirt A Division on Sunday afternoon. 

Luke Myers and Carson Kingbay opened the scoring for the Ponies, a 2-0 lead quickly cut in half by a goal by St. Louis Park's Henry Schultz on the power play. 

A scoreless second period set the stage for a rollicking final stanza, and the Ponies and Orioles did not disappoint. 

Cole Braunshausen scored twice to open the third for the Ponies, and again the Orioles answered, this time with a goal by Junior Podein. Trey Fredenberg hung the fifth goal on the board for the Ponies, but again Podein narrowed the gap for the Orioles. 

Stillwater goaltender Landon Huber and the rest of the Pony defense rose to the occasion in the game's final moments, holding off a late charge by the Orioles to claim the title. 

St. Louis Park's Podein was named Tournament Most Valuable Player after leading all skaters with eight goals and 20 points.

SQB Final: Rogers 5, Prior Lake Navy 4

Brock Cheslock scored the game-winning goal for Rogers with just 3:45 remaining in the third period to lift the Royals to a thrilling 5-4 victory over Prior Lake Navy in the Squirt B championship of the Squirtacular. 

Cheslock's goal (his second of the game) earned the win, but goaltender Tate Metcalf's save on a breakaway late in the second period proved to be just as pivotal of a play, as the netminder stood his ground in the crease and kept the score tied at 4-4. 

Hudson Miller totaled a hat-trick in the win for the Royals, earning Tournament Most Valuable Player honors in the process, while Prior Lake Navy's Dillon Tushie racked up two goals and added an assist for the Lakers. Kellen Moline scored once and assisted twice in the loss for the Lakers, and Jack Willmert chipped in a goal.   


Rogers, Squirtacular SQB champions.
