Out of the 6 teams in the Squirt division, the Wheels of Anarchy went through the round robin play untouched and took the number one seed. Oakville Coyotes and Tour Bordercat’s both ended up with 4 points so we had to go to the goals against where the Coyotes edged out the Bordercat’s by two. Don’t count out the Sports Forum Warriors that took the fourth seed. I expect a pretty good semi final tomorrow when they take on the Wheels of Anarchy. The Pee Wee division was just as close

It doesn’t matter if it’s 1:00am or 7:00am here at Joe Dumar’s Field House. The hockey is intense at any hour. The Mites have wrapped up round robin play, and the Tour Bordercat’s have taken the first place seed, with the RBK 01 Michigan team right behind them finishing second. RBK would beat the Detroit Mission Stars in the semi finals to advance into the Championship and force the rematch that the Bordercat’s won by a score of one to zero. In the Championship the Bordercat’s t

I’ve been excited for this regional for a long time. After watching the Detroit teams at finals last year, I was curios to see if the hockey here is as good as they say it is. Well after only a handful of games my expectations have been met and then some. From mites to pro, there is an understanding of the game and how it’s played. Competition is tight and you can feel the energy as soon as you walk through the front door. When you come to a tournament and see Coast 2 Coast, Rattlers, T

Our only Regional Qualifier in Georgia is in the books. With two rinks to get through our 52 games it was a nice to not have to wake up before the sun and leave after midnight, which is often the case with our tourneys. I would have loved to have more teams, but I enjoyed the rare full night sleep on a tournament night. We saw some great games, especially on championship Sunday. While only one needed overtime to settle, many were tight games right to the end. Here’s how the

Things are moving right along here at SGAA at our only Regional Qualifier in the state of Georgia. We’ve made a pretty descent impact in this region in the last 12 months, with some of these teams tasting the NARCh FINALS for the first time last summer in Florida, and then WINTERNATIONALS in North Carolina in February. I don’t think many of these teams will come out of this event to the FINALS in Cali, but I’m sure some of the most dedicated players will find teams to play on a

We had a wild weekend in Alberta, with over 30 teams participating in 2 ½ short days. Here is a rundown of each division’s action: By Alex Morrison Mite Division In this 3 team division, the Red Deer Snipers Black was the cream of the division, winning all 4 of the games they played. The final saw them play against their club's other team, the Snipers White. This one started off looking like it would be a similar game to the others the teams played, as the black team jumped o

28 teams competed at the NARCh Qualifier this Mothers Day Weekend at Rocky Mountain Roller Hockey in Lakewood, CO. There were a few newer travel teams in the younger ages but for the most part this event was heavily stacked with talented teams ready to take on all challengers at the NARCh FINALS in July. Here is a quick summary of how each division played out. Mite Division – 5 teams made up this division, two Kodiak Teams, two Talons, and the Wolverines. The Mite Kodiaks have a

By Alex Morrison I made it up to Red Deer yesterday, after a flight to Calgary, then a drive north. Being here 2 years ago, this is not unfamiliar territory, as 2 of the 3 rinks that were used last time are once again in play here. The nice new addition is the Collicut Centre, which has a beautiful looking sport court surface laid down over the concrete floor. Games at the twin sheet facility, Kinsmen Arena, have a different feeling, as the concrete surface really doesn’t let these
