The Squirt AA team coached by Matt Buss was an impressive 2-1-1 in a tough Squirt AA division with ten teams from all over the U.S.  The Squirt A team guided by Pete Runkel and Joe Bourne rebounded from an opening loss to show steady improvement over the weekend going 2-1-1.

Hockey Director Tom Tilley commented on the weekend, “Coming into this season, one of our goals was to travel as an organization to as many tournaments as possible.  This weekend was a great opportunity for our Stars families  to build camaraderie and team spirit.  I am also very proud of all of our players and their success on the ice.”
