🤯🏒 Unbelievable 12U B1 Marathon Playoff! 🏒🤯

The Saints 12U B1 team delivered a District 8 playoff battle that will be etched in our memories! Their three-day marathon against Cottage Grove, spanning 14 periods of 5-on-5, one period of 3-on-3, and a heart-stopping 6-round shootout, concluded tonight with Cottage Grove nabbing the hard-fought win. We congratulate them.

To our team: you're simply legendary! We are so proud of your grit, your resilience, the teamwork, and sheer determination throughout every single moment. You really put the best of youth hockey on display with your pure passion, amazing perseverance, and so so SO much heart.

A huge shout out to our coaching staff and manager for navigating such an intense and unique experience with the team. To all the families and fans who were there, whether at the PACKED Doug Woog Arena or supporting from afar, your energy and encouragement are immensely appreciated.

What a truly unforgettable playoff experience!
