The Yorkton Manos Midget Terriers hosted an eight team hockey tournament over the weekend. Teams included Lampman, Swan River, Lumsden/Bethune combined team, Regina, Moose Jaw and Dauphin as well as the Manos Midget Terriers. Winnipeg dropped out leaving a gap in the draw which the Manos Terriers filled by playing as two teams. The irony was the Manos Midgets continued to win every game they played and ended up facing each other in the A-side final, essentially winning the tournament title by finishing as A-side winners and A-side runners-up, explains tournament coordinator Dan McKenzie.
Lumsden/Bethune claimed the B-side over runners up Regina by a close 3-2 score.
Swan River emerged as C-side winners 3-0 over runners-up Moose Jaw.
The D-side was won by Lampman over runners-up Dauphin by 10-5 final score.
It was an excellent tournament McKenzie reports with all teams commenting positively on the sportsmanship and courtesy of the Yorkton host team.
McKenzie extends his gratitude to all coaches, players, officials and fans. He also thanks all tournament sponsors, with special recognition of the contribution of the tournament title sponsor LDM Foods.
