A wild weekend at the Schwan’s Super Rink in Blaine signaled the nearer-than-you-think end to summer AAA hockey, with the Easton Cup marking one of the final tournaments of the summer season. 

The Minnesota Icemen went undefeated in its pursuit to the 2003 Invite Division championship, posting a record of 3-0-1. 

The Icemen scored one-goal wins over Team North and Bucks AAA, with a 2-2 draw with OS Cattle sandwiched between the victories. 
In the final, the Icemen downed a talented New Generation squad by a score of 5-2. 

A squad based out of Winnipeg took the 2004 Invite Division crown, as the River East Jr. Knights thumped the Blue Star Selects 5-1 in the final. 

The Jr. Knights had already scored a win over Blue Star in the opening game of Pool Play and made their way to the championship with a 7-1 win over Ice Edge Elite in the de facto semifinals despite a 7-3 loss to New Generation in the previous game. 

The Wisconsin Selects faced virtually challenge on its march to the 2005 Invite Division title, outscoring opponents 24-4 in four games. 

An opening round 7-0 win over the Dakota Thunder was followed by wins over the Minnesota Mavericks and Machine Black by scores of 8-1 and 5-1 respectively. 

The Selects edged Magicians Red 4-2 in the final.
