South Dakota would not be denied the Girls 16U AA Western Region Silver Stick as they would score 7 unanswered goals, including two short-handed in the third period, to cruise to a 9-1 win in the championship of the 2016 16U AA Girls Western Region Silver Sticks.  

     Kensington Eckhoff (1G, 2A), Grace Halvorson (1G, 2A), Kairtlyn Holland (2G, 1A), Kendra Kranz (2G, 1A), Annie Leberknight (1G, 1A), and Justice Small (1G, 1A) all had multiple points in the championship game.  South Dakota dominated all tournament, as Eckhoff (2G, 9A, 11PTS), Leberknight (5G, 6A, 11PTS), Kairtlyn Holland (6G, 4A, 10 PTS), and Kendra Kranz (5G, 3A, 8 PTS) were the top four point scorers in the 16U AA age group. 

    The Lady Jr. Sharks put on a scoring display with a 16-0 nothing shutout win over the Lady RoughRiders in the 12U A Championship of the Girls Western Regional Silver Sticks.  Natasha Evenden (2G, 1A), Cassandra Johnson (3G, 3A), Melissa McCullough (4G, 2A), and Aiden Levee-Oshiro (2G, 1A) all had huge games for San Jose.

     Johnson (14G, 9A, 23 PTS), McCullough (12G, 6A, 18 PTS), Kimberly Jung (7G, 6A, 13 PTS), and Levee-Oshiro (5G, 7A, 12 PTS) were the top four point scorers in all age groups throughout the entire Western Region Silver Sticks tournament.

     Hannah Popish (1G, 1A) and Lillian Cassidy (1G) scored the only two goals of the first period and that would be all that the Aspen Leafs would need as they were able to hold off Steamboat Springs for a 2-1 win in the championship game of the Girls 14U A Western Region Silver Stick.  

     Steamboat was able to pull within one with a goal in the second period, but a scoreless third would leave them just shy of the comeback.  Aspen's Mia Seltzer (3G, 4A, 7 PTS) was the leading point scorer in the tournament for the 14U A division. 

     After a scoreless first period, the teams traded goals in the second with Madeline McDonald (1G, 1A) and Elaine Richardson scoring for Colorado Select and Lucia Commare and Brittany Iversen matching goals for the Lady RoughRiders.  

     Colorado Select's Kelsey Ross put her team on top for good with the game winning goal with just under three minutes left in the game to give Select the 3-2 victory and the Girls 14U AA Western Regional Silver Stick Championship.  Ross (7 G, 4A, 11 PTS) also led all 14 U AA point scorers during the tournament.

    The Naperville Sabres would take a hold of the game when Amanda Rachke (2G) scored to give them a 1-0 lead in the second period.  The third period was all Sabres, as Rachke would notch her second score of the game and teammates Maddie Haug (2G) and Kaylie Burck (2A) chipped in to guide Naperville to a 4-0 shutout victory over Steamboat.

    Haug (5G, 6A, 11 PTS) and Burck (5G, 5A, 10 PTS) would lead all 19U A players in scoring throughout the tournament and goalie Sarah Regovic saved her best for last, making all 14 of her saves in the championship game for her only shutout win of the weekend.

     Madyson Ogdahl (1G, 1A) got the scoring started for Team South Dakota with the lone goal of the first to give them an early 1-0 lead.  Hailey Holland (2G) and Bethany Rennich (1G, 1A) would put the exclamation on a 6-0 shutout win by scoring three goals as part of a four goal third period to give them the 19U AA championship victory. 

     Team South Dakota's offense was relentless, peppering the Utah Lady Grizzlies with 46 shots in the championship game.  Goaltenders Angela Hanson and Hailey Huff were responsible for 6 wins and 3 shutouts and Madalin Schultz (5G, 4A, 9 PTS) led all 19U AA scorers in points over the tournament.
