FARGO — The annual Squirt A International tournament in Fargo drew over 75 teams this year from all over the country with every player hoping to earn the top prize.
There were plenty of teams from both Minnesota and North Dakota, but there were also a handful of teams from states such as Colorado, Florida and North Carolina.
With so many teams competing throughout the Feb. 25-27 weekend, it can be a tough task to win the tournament, so teams are split up into brackets after the first day of play so that there can be a champion crowned for each bracket (with bracket No. 1 being the most prestigious).
This year, Stillwater would take the top prize in the highest bracket, defeating runner-up Moorhead Red in a 4-0 shutout win.
Stillwater SQA caps off an amazing season with a 4-0 shutout win over Moorhead in the Fargo Squirt International championship! 76 Teams, we went 6-0 in the tourney. First win by Stillwater in this tournament’s 38 year history! Special group!! @sahahockey pic.twitter.com/z2usxrhnda
