Carol Singer posted an article about the national youth hockey championships. It should be noted that the tournaments mentioned are Tier I tournaments -- basically all-star teams with players drawn from a large geographic (or large urban) area. The Tier II (basically teams with players from one smaller community) tournaments were also held this weekend. The Tier II national bantam tournament was won by the host team, Moorhead, Minnesota. You can e-mail me privately if interested in more complete results. Obligatory college hockey content: Moorhead's Bantam A team is the primary feeder team for the high school, which this year is sending four seniors on to Division I hockey: Ryan Kraft to the University of Minnesota Josh Arnold to the University of Minnesota, Duluth Jeremy Gregoire and John Haberlach, both probably to the Air Force Academy. Ex-UND coach Gino Gasparini was the featured speaker at the bantam tournament banquet, exhibiting all the liveliness we have come to expect from him. He said nothing, however, about the situation at UND.
