Way to go, Bantam A!!!

What an absolutely unforgettable weekend for our Bantam A team! This A‑level squad stepped into an AA tournament and didn’t just compete - they took over the place.

They battled through two Nashville Predators AA teams, Ames (IA), and the St. Louis Eagles AA (twice), proving over and over that heart, grit, and teamwork beat labels every time.

Friday night? Pure magic.

The team hit the outdoor rink under the lights, playing in the kind of atmosphere kids dream about: cold air, bright lights, and that big‑game energy that makes youth hockey so special.

And that championship game? Straight out of a movie!

Down two goals late in the third, this group refused to fold. They dug deep, turned up the pressure, and exploded for three goals in the final four minutes to win the whole thing. A comeback that had the entire rink on its feet.

For most of these players, this was their last youth hockey tournament before heading off to high school, and they closed this chapter in absolute storybook fashion.

Congratulations, Bantam A! You didn’t just win the tournament, you owned the moment.
