McD Kings: 1-1-2 (Full roster I hear...)
GSE: 1-2-1
OCHC: 1-3 (Missing two key players)
No Cali team made it out of round play.
Cleveland Jr Lumberjacks (AAA), the eventual champs, went 7-0-0 and were damn good, but didn't look unbeatable in my opinion, they beat the finalist Nickel City Sons from Ontario 3-0 to win it all. Lumberjacks were in same bracket as OC and beat them 5-0 but the game was closer than the score indicated. I'm still surprised they beat out some of the other teams that had kids that were simply gigantic... Some of them looked literally like midgets... I remember going up to a mom from Virginia Extreme asking her if these kids were bantams or midgets, she replied they were peewees. HC Dallas had a goalie that was at least 6'2, without skates and was pretty much a brick wall.
As advertised, this was one tough tourney...
