Congrats on a great season to our Bantam A team

Thursday evening was the Minnesota Hockey State Tournament banquet and the Bantam A team was looking dapper. Sweet ties, boys!

Unfortunately, the team dropped a tough one to a tenacious Roseau team in their opening Minnesota Hockey State Tournament game. The final score was 7-5 after Roseau scored an empty netter with time running out. 

They then ran into a tough Northfield team on Saturday. The Caps scored first after just 32 seconds, but ultimately came out on the wrong side of that one.

Even though things didn't go the way we would have liked for the team at the Minnesota Hockey State Tournament, this team had an absolutely incredible season. We are thrilled to call them our own and look forward to seeing what's next for this squad. Congratulations to everyone involved in this great season!

Bantam A are East Region Champs!

The Saint Paul Capitals Bantam A team beat Chaska-Chanhassan in overtime today at Shakopee Ice Arena to win the Minnesota Hockey Bantam A East Regional tournament. After a scoreless first period, Chaska pulled away with two goals in the second period. Chase Evans got the Caps on the board early in the third period, then Ryan Endrizzi evened the score late in the game to send the game into overtime. The Caps dominated the extra frame with Nate Gonzales stuffing in the game winner to crown the Caps Bantam A East Region champs and send the team to the Minnesota Hockey State Tournament. Congrats boys!

Regions Update: Bantam A beats Edina 5-4

Peewee B1 2nd at Districts

The Caps Peewee B1 team finished second in the District 2 tournament yesterday with a 2-0 win against a tough Mahtomedi team. The Peewee B1s lost to that same Mahtomedi team this past Monday to move to the consolation side of the bracket and be a loss away from elimination. But the team battled past East Metro and White Bear Lake to gain another chance at Mahtomedi. Two goals by Desi Bustos were all the team needed to beat Mahtomedi for second place in the District 2 tournament. Congrats to Sam Blaisdell and the entire team on its second place finish at the District 2 tournament!!!

This team now moves on to the Regional tournament where it will face Prior Lake Gold at the Super Rink on Friday at 7:30 pm. Best of luck boys!!!

Bantam A District 2 Champs!!!

Huge congrats to the Capitals Bantam A team, which won the District 2 championship Saturday night in a 6-2 defeat of Stillwater. Playing Stillwater at home, the Bantam A's started slow and the teams were tied up with one apiece after the first period. But the Bantam A's took control of the game after that to win the District 2 Bantam A Championship. Congratulations to co-head coaches Alex Johnson and David Zevnik, and their entire team!

The team next moves on to face Edina in the regional tournament at Shakopee Ice Arena this Friday at 2:00 pm. Best of luck, boys!!!

12U B2 take 2nd in D2 tournament

As coach Kevin Dolan said, "it's not how you start, it's how you finish." And boy did this team finish strong! In the District 2 tournament alone, this squad played 5 games in 5 days and went 4-1. The result was taking home the District 2 tournament's second place honors.

Their one loss was a heartbreaker falling to undefeated District 2 regular season champs, Forest Lake, with 3 seconds remaining in the game. They bounced back with three straight wins, capping things off today by beating Roseville/Mahtomedi in the second place game. Although the score was only 2-0, the Caps dominated on shots, played super tough, and smothered the opposition with their forecheck.

This team has come so far this year. So proud of these girls!

Roll, Caps!!

12U B2 Girls Fall to Forest Lake

The Caps 12U B2 team fell to Forest Lake last night at TCO Arena in Vadnais Heights. After giving up two goals early in the game, the Caps battled back in the second to tie the game at two apiece. The Caps battled through the third period, until Forest Lake scored with 3 seconds left in the game.

"The girls played the best game of their season," said head coach Kevin Dolan after the game.

With a resounding victory over the Starwhals, and battling the number one seed to a near tie, this team is in fine form and is bound to have a great result when they play White Bear Lake tonight at 5:00 pm at TCO South.
