Team Minnesota wins the 25th Annual Chicago Showcase

The 25th Annual Chicago Showcase was held at the Bensenville Edge Ice Arenas in Bensenville, Illinois from April 15th through April 19th, 2009. 24 high school teams from across the United States competed in 52 total games.

Team Minnesota won the championship game by defeating Team Michigan 3-2 in overtime.

Per the stats, I would have given the MVP award to Casey O'Connor for giving up only one goal in the six games that he played in. He saved 72 out of 73 shots. He gave up the one goal in the first period of the championship game against Team Michigan. O'Connor and Paul Moberg played half of each of the six games. O'Connor always started and Moberg always finished the games.

Zach May, Tyler Voight, Andy Pearson, Schyler Adams, and Sam Rendle also had a very good tournament.

Congratulations to Team Minnesota on winning the Chicago Showcase!
