After studying the invite brackets for the six age groups we cover (’99 to ‘o4) we see that the Lake Superior Stars may have to bring a trailer to the “Cities” in order to make room for all of the hardware they may bring back up north after this weekend.
Few things of note: always be wary of The Machine Black. These teams from Minnesota Made could be fielding players from the Machine Orange which could immediately make them top picks to win. Also beware of the Canadian teams. Finlandia Hockey club snuck up on us a few weeks ago in the Meltdown…as did the Mavericks at the Stars and Stripes.
’99: Lake Superior Stars > Reebok Nats
’00: Lake Superior Stars > Minnesota Edge
’01: Blades > Lake Superior Stars (Alt: Finlandia)
’02: ’03 Blades > MN Icemen (rematch of Meltdown)
’03: Lake Superior Stars > Machine Black
’04: Warrior Black > Machine Black
