Great championship game between two excellent U19 teams from Canada. Balmoral (Winnipeg area) defeated Windsor, Ontario 3-2 in OT.
Game quite a bit more physical and much higher tempo than most HS games. Would be interesting to see how the top MN teams would do in a tournament like this. I think it would be a great benefit for some of the top HS teams to participate in these type of tournaments. Although, I'm sure there must be some rule against HS participation in these types of tourneys.

I don't believe there is a rule against this, I know some boys teams, like AHA, play Shattuck from time to time. I think most coaches don't want to give up one (or more) of their 25 allowed MSHSL games to play one of these teams. I agree, it would be fun for some of the better HS teams to play in a tournament like this.
