Day 1 Recaps

15U Division: The 15U division got things started on Friday with four games in Indiana. Esmark opened the day with a 3-1 win over Meijer, scoring in each period to pick up the victory. Tri-State managed to hold off a late Indy charge for a 3-2 win, as Brendan St. Julian’s third-period strike proved enough to outlast the Fuel comeback. Later on, Esmark picked up another victory as they dealt Indy another tough loss, riding a three-goal second period to a 3-2 win over the event hosts. Capping off the day, Meijer avenged its earlier loss with a comfortable 4-2 win over Tri-State, thanks to a two-goal showing from Jack Postula.

14U Division: The 14U division was the only other division to also got games going on Friday, with each team hitting the ice twice. The day opened with a tense affair between Meijer and Indy, as both teams scored in the first and stayed deadlocked at one until Josh Dumont’s game-winner for Meijer in the third period. Tri-State followed up with a different kind of win, walloping Des Moines 9-0 behind a slew of stout performances. Des Moines’ luck would not improve in the later games, as Meijer also had its way with the Buccaneers in a 10-1 win, though Jaxson Kaebel got Des Moines on the board in this matchup. Finally, Tri-State struck in the first and third periods and rode Connor Broderick’s 20-save shutout to a 2-0 win over Indy to end the day.
