Over Minnesota Educator Academy (MEA) weekend, The Pond in Rosemount put on a tournament that is truly one-of-a-kind.

With age and difficulty levels spanning Mini-Mites, Beginner Mites, Advanced Mites and Squirts, the Spooktacular 3-on-3 Tournament is a hockey-tinted view of the way Halloween season and mid-October should be welcomed in the State of Hockey.

Sunday Oct. 23 wrapped up the Spooktacular, with championship games for the Intermediate and Advanced Mite levels, as well as in in the Squirt Division.

Championship Sunday kicked off with the Intermediate Mite Division, and the high-scoring Ice Hawks continued their winning ways, claiming the title with a 16-13 win over Team Warrior.

Eric Gelhar scored a game-high seven goals for the Ice Hawks, and Drew Mamer added four goals to lead the Ice Hawks to victory. Blake Bentz led Team Warrior in scoring with four goals.

In the Advanced Mite Division, Easton Bahn scored five goals to pace the Li’l Rascals to a thrilling 16-13 win over Team Warrior in the finals.

Hat Trick-or-Treat scored six unanswered goals to pull away from The Skateful Dead in the Squirt Division championship and emerge with a 11-7 win.

Isaac Webb and Trey Henderson each scored three goals for Hat Trick-or- Treat, while The Skateful Dead had seven different scorers.

Like the Advanced Mite Division, the Squirt title game came down to goaltending, and Hat Trick-or-Treat’s Gabe Otis was named Most Valuable Player for his performance between the pipes.

Team Warrior edged The Great Pumpkins 14-13 to claim third place in the Squirt Division, led by Blake Anderson and Josh Toll, who each scored three goals in the win.
