An exciting Saturday of hockey at the Girls level in the PeeWee Challenge. The Badgers are in the Championship with two wins over the Wolverines and Buckeyes. Their first win was a thriller over the Wolverines in rink 2 at Bloomington Ice Garden. After Gabbie Krause scored for the Wolverines with  26 seconds left, the Red Machine's Emily Chronkite scored with four ticks left to win it for the Badgers!

The Gophers had a big day Saturday as well winning both games, one over the Irish (3-1) and another over the Buckeyes (5-3). The Gophers will take on the Wolverines Sunday morning for a shot at the Badgers for the title later Sunday afternoon.

MacKenzie Bourgerie, Badgers - Had a big day for the Badgers including a goal and an assist to beat the Buckeyes.

What a day in the Minor PeeWees on Saturday at Bloomington Ice Garden.

The Badgers got two wins (Irish and Wolverines) and clinched a spot in the Championship. Tyler Haskins had a goal and two assists.
