REA Hockey Academy AAA Tournament Results?

[HockeyStorm]

Anyone have any results from the AAA tourneys at the Ralph in Grand Forks. How many teams have they been getting? Has their been some Canadian teams in these tourneys?

Midwest Ice Hogs won the 97 division and Jr Sioux won the 98 Division. Not sure on the 99s. In the 97 division, there were no Canadian teams, all northern MN teams. Tight games, Ice Hogs beat Jr Sioux twice in 97 play and have a very nice team. Will be interesting to see how they do in the Pepsi Cup. They are 9-0 on the year. There weren't as many Canadian teams this year since the "Ralph" was under construction. The contractor for the tubing didn't put in tubing proper first time so it is under repair. No games in there and Canadian teams didn't come down. In 98 and 99 play, the Canadian teams that were there didn't look as strong as years past. No Manitoba Moose, team that has 238 players tryout for the team! Next year should seen the return of more Canadian teams and good competition. The parents of northern teams are civil and appreciate the hockey and kids have a good time.
