We had two teams in the Mite Madness 8U Tournament this weekend; the tournament took place at the Utah Olympic Oval. This tournament was a great end to a fun season!

The tournament was double elimination and included 16 teams; the other teams involved came from the Oval, Ogden, Logan, Vernal, and Davis. Our Predators 2 team went two rounds of games. Our Predators 1 team played 5 games and were 5th place overall.



Lyric Seegmiller: “I felt like a champion, and was a little sad we didn’t win them all, but I had fun with my team and excited to try again next year.” 

Beckett Lillywhite: "It was fun and it made me want to keep working hard."

Eric Lawrence: "I was so proud of our players today. Everyone contributed with timely goals, big defensive stops, amazing passes and huge saves. I lost my voice from cheering on our players. It was an awesome day of hockey!"
