Won, again, by the Mighty Pens of Pittsburgh. But it wasn't easy this time around! Five teams, Grand
Rapids, Cleveland, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Columbus battled it out in round-robin play resulting in the Pens and the
Blades playing for the championship. The game ended in regulation with a Columbus goal scored with twenty seconds left
to tie the contest at three. A five minute sudden death period followed with the Pens scoring on a break away goal to
win the glory. For those who where there, it truly was an exciting way to wrap up a great weekend.
Many thanks to all those involved in helping pull off this event. Obviously, a special mention is in order to the Shriners
who funded the tournament. Without that financial suppport, it would not have been possible. Approximately 65 players
participated this year. In addition to the five teams noted above, several kids came from St. Louis and joined teams.
Ohio Sled hopes to do it again next year with possibly expanding the tournament by another team. Check our site
