The AAG has just 6 teams this year and they all look evenly matched. Should make for some good, close games at The Swan.

Thunder Bay is bringing down an older, more experienced team than last year and could be the favorite.
Mounds View has started well and should get more recognition in District 2.
Forest Lake will have a chance to prove their pre-season rank was legit as they get a break from playing tough D2 teams.
"Host" team Blaine has had an uneven start, but solid goaltending could get them through their pool.
Orono will get tested after a soft pre-season schedule.
Anoka has a high scoring offense so if the defense and goaltending are solid, they could be the team to beat.

Two years ago Anoka beat Forest Lake at 10A to win this tournament. Predictions or thoughts?[/b]

Nice insight on the teams skateittillyouloseit!

I'll give this a shot:

Thunder Bay vs Anoka for the ship = Thunder Bay will be to powerfull for Anoka's high octane offense; Thunder Bay in a close one.

FL vs Blaine for 3rd = The young FL team won't fool the Blaine Goalie; Blaine by 1.

Orono vs MV for 5th = MV in OT

Results from Day 1:

Thunder Bay 2-1 in a very tight game. TB holds off a late 6 on 4 to win.
Orono gets an early lead and hangs on to beat Blaine 5-2.
Mounds View scores a 3rd period PPG to beat Forest Lake 3-2.

Three games decided by 4 goals (one EN)...buckle up.

Results from day 2:

Thunder Bay big over Forest Lake (9-2) and ties Mounds View (1-1) to advance to championship game against Anoka.
Anoka beat Orono (4-3) and Blaine (2-0) to win their pool.

Mounds View also beat Blaine (3-1) to play for third place against Orono who tied Forest Lake (1-1) in their 3rd game.

Championship prediction: Thunder Bay wins the rematch 3-2.

Congrats to Thunder Bay for a Championship win. Looks like it was good tourney.

Was a great Championship game. Saw the last 4 minutes...Anoka was on a 5-3, scored and had time left on the second penalty. TB held on and won 3-2. Game MVP was the TB goalie. The TB fans said that was her best game ever, good time to play that way.
Orono beat Mounds View (6-2) for 3rd and Blaine beat Forest Lake (4-3) for 5th.
