PARK CITY ICE MINERS UPDATE The U16's ran neck and neck with the Salt Lake Grizzlies for the state title this season. The final winner take all game took place last week at the Park City Ice Arena, with Park City emerging as the victor. Park City will go to Nationals in Wayne, New Jersey from March 31st - April 4th. The Mites just got home from Jackson Hole and were the only team to beat Casper Wyoming in the tournament with a 3-2 score. Otherwise Casper was undefeated and ended up winning against DC Wind in the finals. It was a supper aggressive game and the Mites stepped it up beyond their skill set, beating Casper to the puck every time. They used the boards to get the puck out of the zone and they never gave up. Park City ended up with 2W-1T-1L which put them in 3rd place. Wrapping up the tournament season, the Ice Miners will host the Spring High Mountain Shoot Out from March 31st to April 3rd. 18 teams will be participating and traveling from areas of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. |
