Exposure tourney
So that sweet 90 day season that most of the state just completed along with those well scouted super competitive 24 games wasn't enough to get them to the "show"?
In the past there has been some pretty good competition at Xposure.
Having said that, if you are a great player, you probably don't need it, and if you are a more typical MN HS player, it won't get you to juniors.
However, If you are a "bubble" player who could maybe make a decent junior team, there are some scouts there, mostly NAHL and Tier three, and (as is widely advertised by the tournament) the HS Elite League does run it and some of their people are also watching.
A lot of the SSM and Elite league players do participate.
It is a bit pricey for five games, but I guess that is an issue for the individual family/kid to decide.

I found this to be a well-run tournament with good (not great) competition. I heard nothing but good things during the weekend down there. The guys were really into it and the teams were playing to win. I'm sure the guys enjoyed the freedom to take chances, make a mistake every so often and not paying the price with their HS or Midget coaches.
