18U Gold:

In an exciting showdown, the Orland Park Vikings will face off against the Chicago Hawks, a matchup that promises to be electric. The Hawks come into the game with momentum after pulling off a stunning 4-0 upset over the #1 seed, the West Dundee Leafs, proving their resilience and hunger for victory. Meanwhile, the Vikings are riding high after a convincing 5-2 win over the Lake County Vipers, showcasing their offensive firepower and defensive stability. With both teams in top form, the stage is set for an intense and thrilling battle for supremacy. Both the Orland Park Vikings and the Chicago Hawks enter this championship showdown undefeated, but only one will walk away with the title and be crowned champions.

18U Silver:

The Tri-County Bulls and the Weber Mustangs are set for an intense round-robin rematch after a thrilling 4-3 victory for the Bulls on Saturday. That game marked the Mustangs' only loss of the weekend, while the Bulls have been perfect so far, winning all four of their games. With both teams hungry for the title, the stakes couldn't be higher as they square off once again—only one will emerge victorious and be crowned champions in this highly anticipated showdown.

16U Gold:

The West Dundee Leafs and Nest Hockey are set to collide in a championship game that promises to be a true test of contrasting styles. Both teams enter undefeated, but the Leafs have been on an offensive tear, lighting up the scoreboard with an impressive 33 goals over their first four games. On the other side, Nest Hockey has been a fortress defensively, allowing just 7 goals over the same stretch, proving they know how to lock things down when it matters most. The big question is: will Nest's defensive mastery be enough to stifle the Leafs' high-powered attack, or will the Leafs' offensive juggernaut prove too much to handle? 

16U Silver:

The Lake County Vipers are set to take on the Texas Heat in what promises to be a high-stakes championship clash. The Heat earned their spot after a heart-pounding shootout victory over Team Wyoming, a squad that had been undefeated up until that point, showcasing their resilience and clutch play under pressure. Meanwhile, the Vipers come into the game on a dominant run, having not lost a single game this weekend, including a commanding 6-0 win over the Jacksonville Icemen to secure their place in the final. With the Heat's heart and grit up against the Vipers' flawless momentum, this championship battle is bound to be a thrilling spectacle.

14U:

The Vegas Jr. Golden Knights and Team Wyoming are set to face off in a championship showdown between two of the most dynamic and well-balanced teams in the tournament. Both squads have been offensive juggernauts while shutting down their opponents with impressive defensive efforts. The Knights have been especially dominant, scoring a staggering 31 goals while allowing just 3 against, showcasing their offensive firepower and airtight defense. Not far behind, Wyoming has put up 26 goals while conceding only 4, proving their ability to strike and defend with equal precision.
