St. Cloud Face-Off Tournament Wrapup

On Saturday, April 20th, a 16 team tournament was held in St. Cloud at Whitney Park, site of the old Whitney Memorial Airfield. White Bear Lake brought two teams to the tournament. And despite the rain and wind, came away all smiles. The White Bear Lake C Orange team, playing with one just sub, won their last two games of the day to take the B Division Consolation prize. Congratulations team, you played hard, showed great spirit, and made us proud.

Meanwhile, the White Bear Lake B team played their hearts out all day, first by blowing away the competition in early morning pool play. Winning two post-lunch bracket games put them into the Face-Off Championship game against the best that Northfield had to offer. While White Bear Lake was on the low end of a 6-3 score, they showed fantastic spirit, shaking hands with their opponents and acknowledging individual contributions by their opponents. A huge congratulations to the WBL B team on a solid second place finish. Congratulations To All Participants!
