Champions were crowned in six divisions: Bantam AAA (San Diego Jr. Gulls); Bantam A (Pasadena Maple Leafs); Pee Wee A (Anaheim Jr. Ducks); Squirt BB (Jr. Ducks); and Mite Track I (Jr. Ducks) and Track II (Jr. Ducks).

“We can’t thank all of the participating clubs enough for helping deliver what proved to be an exciting weekend of hockey to kick off the new season,” tournament director Brian McDonough said of the fifth annual event. “There was so much great competition in every division, and the camaraderie and sportsmanship displayed by all of the players, coaches, team managers and families was second to none.

“We also want to thank the entire staff at Toyota Sports Center for their efforts, as well as all of our volunteers.”

Division champions were awarded a banner and trophy, and all players on the championship teams received medals. Players on the runner-up teams in each division also received medals.
