  • We are the Champions: Royal utilized a bit of heroics on its way to avenging an early camp loss to Red and capture this week's overall championship in a shootout by a score of 4-3.  Trailing by one late in the second half, Kyle Connor (No. 17) scored to knot things up with just over a minute left in regulation, forcing a shootout to determine a victor.  In the skills competition, Connor, Austin Poganski (No. 14) and Will Harrison (No. 9) provided a goal apiece for Royal, while goaltender Jeremy Brodeur (No. 20) denied three of Red's five shooters.
  • White All-Stars Prevail: In the second consecutive game of the day requiring a shootout to break the tie, the White All-Star squad squeaked past the Blue All-Stars by a score of 3-2.  Joey Dudek (No. 10) and Bryan Lemos (No. 16) lit the lamp for White in the winning effort, while Chase Phelps (No. 11) and Keegan Iverson (14) found the back of the net for Blue.  The shootout goals were scored by White's Nick Schmaltz (No. 9) and Ryan Wagner (No. 11), with goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic (No. 30) turning away all five Blue shooters.
  • More to Come: Three more camps are scheduled for competition at the Northtown Center in the coming weeks.  The Select 16 camp runs from July 7-13, followed by the Sled Hockey camp from July 13-18 with the Select 15's hitting the ice from July 14-20.
