Got a score?  
Email me at followthepuck@gmail.com or send me a tweet @followthepuck!

For those of you going to the South St. Paul Premier Tournament on Monday, PLEASE SEND UPDATES to me.  Updates during the games would be great but the final scores are the most important.  I have struggled to get timely updates from there the last two years.

I am sure that the Hub will have the Gold Bracket of the Schwan Cup well covered.  I may need some help with updates from the other three brackets.  Send updates if you can! Thank you!

NEWS: The St. Louis Park Recreation Center Classic has been renamed.  It is now known as the Sports Authority Holiday Classic.

NEWS: Former Apple Valley Eagle, Hudson Fasching, who is currently playing for the United States National Team Development Program, Under 17, has made a verbal commitment to play for the Minnesota Golden Gophers.  He would have been a junior at Apple Valley this year if he wouldn't have went to the USNTDP.

GOOD LUCK to all of the teams playing this week!  Enjoy the tournaments!
