These are 12 year old kids and I have seen many red eyes after competitive games on several teams so I think it is more of a giving it all you got thing than a negative thing.
I would rather see a kid a little teared up after a game like that then laughing or fighting.
I know many of the kids on these two teams have personal relationships off the ice and they respect each other a lot and like somebody said above, several hugs and respect shown after.
Great game and look forward to many more to come.
