Only the Strong Survive
Sticks were banging and pucks were flying at Braemar on Thursday as all teams in the six team Edina Invitational got their first game under their belt. There were only a couple surprises - #9AA South St. Paul fell to the Madison Capitols and Lakeville South ousted #7AA Burnsville in Bantam AA. At the other levels, everyone pretty much held serve.
The competition will tighten up as the weekend draws closer.
Edina cruised to an 8-1 win over Hopkins in PeeWee A Thursday
