12 teams from Minnesota loaded up the vans and headed to Chicago for some high level Spring hockey. For some teams it was their first trip to the Windy City together, for others it will likely be their last.

Other top players from Minnesota took to rosters like DHI and the Bauer Selects for a shot a Chi Town glory. The following is a recap of their progress this past weekend.
