My mite skated at this on Monday and had a blast. I was amazed at how many people came out for the day. Super rink is a great place to have a tournament like this.

I agree, great well run event with over 400 skaters!

Was it kids essentially playing for their associations or was it more like AAA-style teams?

It was about half and half association teams vs. invite teams.

So the obvious follow-up question was who had more success? I'm assuming the invite teams won?

The Spartans & North Stars in the Lincoln division were made up of 02 & 03 Machine players mostly.

Elk River?

Yes, but kids also skate together on 03 miracle gold team so in reality could really consider them both a AAA and association team

Elk River is already a AAA team given their influx of St. Francis talent.

One family moving to ER from sf is considered an influx of talent and makes it a AAA team....really? Yes he is a nice player, but must have already had some talent there to start with to be considered a AAA team. Chandler must be from SF and be bitter about the family moving....

LOL. I really had no idea how many players moved from St. Francis to Elk River. I just knew that one kid did. And since St. Francis doesn't have an A Mite team, I just assumed they all went to Elk River. I guess not. Haha... good stuff...

Why not? All they have to do is talk to their association and have them declare a squirt A team. They had 3 teams just like other small associations that decided to try to compete like Mora, Chisago Lakes, Rogers, Spring Lake Park etc.
