I see the Bantam 'A' state tournament for VFW is being held in Elk River this year at the end of March the 24th through the 26th I believe. I know Warroad beat Moorhead in the championship of District 9, does anyone know who else will be competing in this tournament next month? I know Roseau is the defending champion and after looking at the VFW site, they have won an impressive 9 State Titles since the tourney started in the 1956.

Duluth East will represent VFW district 8 in Elk River this year. East lost their 1st game to Gr rapids 2-1 in OT on Friday then beat Hibbing 8-1 & Cloquet 8-4 on Sat. Sunday East beat Gr. Rapids 4-1 then again 3-2 to get the State birth. Games had an "old school" "up north" "range style" of play both on & off the ice. Regions should be interesting with all 4 VFW teams meeting in Two Harbors this weekend.

Does anybody else have any information to report on Districts around the state? Does anyone know who comes out of or plays out of District 2 and 3?

At least 5 of the 6 teams will have a chance. Why would you even go crbantamacoach?

Looking at the record in the district this year, you didn't win ONE game. The only team in all of District 10 without a win. You should have thought harder about the level you played this year.

I guess you could say they did not have success in the district but how did they do in non-district games and tournaments? Did the players improve because they played at this level instead of the B1 level. There are many things you can look at before you look at wins and loses. But I guess in your eyes winning is the only way to judge success. Maybe your the type of people that ruin hockey

What's your point? That they were correct in having an A level team?

How did the kids feel about it ?? that age is old enough to tell you. What are they only going to have a JV team next year ?? If your CR you have to go A at the Bantam level, because next year you will be playing in the Subwestcon. Plus if you don't have an A team you will have more kids heading to Blaine.

Maybe Jr. Gold?

Your still going to have to play varsity though.

OldGoalie...Are you saying the CR Youth is going Subwestcon? Or is the HS moving to a different conference?

District 2 Vfw Semi-Final

A little confusion on my part, what is the difference between the normal state tournament, and the VFW state tournament?

The grammar in this thread is horrid.

It's the brain damage from all the checking back in peewees.

VFW District 4 Championship
WBL vs. Roseville
1:00pm, March 11th, 2012
Location: Highland- North rink

VFW District 2 Champion is Lakeville North

2012 VFW District 6 BNTM A Championship Game

Brainerd vs. St. Cloud 2:00 Sun 3/11

Brainerd Civic Center


St Cloud won 3-2 in 2nd OT

Both teams are going to VFW state this year from dist. 6

So far these are the teams that are going to be playing:

District 1: ?

District 2: Lakeville North

District 3: Brainerd

District 4: White Bear Lake

District 5: Alexandria or Willmar

District 6: St. Cloud

District 7: Centennial

District 8: Duluth East

District 9: Warroad

Host: Elk River

I am pretty sure both St. Cloud and Brainerd can't play in the tourney, isn't the 10th team always the host team? Which is Elk River this year?

St. Cloud is representing Dist 6 and Brainerd (Dist 6 runner up) is representing Dist 3 (SW MN). Appearently Dist 3 does not send any teams to state. Last year Dist 2 sent 2 teams to the state VFW. I guess this year it was Dist 6's turn....

Centennial Wins District 7

The VFW Districts are different than the MN Hockey Districts. This link has a map.
