Tourney MVP Brandon Reller Leads the List of Top Pumpkin Players

The Best of the Best

The Big Pumpkin featured 24 great hockey teams from all over Minnesota. We got a chance to see over 350 players skate in Moorhead last weekend. Several teams showed great promise and surprised the "experts" with their performance. These surprises were enhanced by some great individual play. Here are the players we selected to our All Tournament team, both AA and A.
