MOORHEAD — The 2023 Lamoureux Hockey Cup girls tournament is coming to the Fargo-Moorhead area May 12-14. Teams from the Midwest, along with teams coming down from Canada, will be competing in 10U, 12U, and 14U divisions.
"We've been watching the LH Cup grow into a premier Midwest tournament for girls hockey," said tournament director Pierre-Paul Lamoureux, who also serves as The Rink Live's project consultant. "The growth is a testament to the dedication and passion of the players, coaches and parents to help provide a quality opportunity for local girls in our hometown to compete against the top teams from Minneapolis and Canada.
"We're thrilled to bring great organizations to the city of Fargo-Moorhead and grow this event."
A big factor that draws teams from Minnesota and North Dakota to the tournament is that they get to compete against international competition that makes the trek down from Canada, and of course for the chance to hoist the Lamoureux Hockey Cup. Winners of the tournament receive a banner and they will also get their roster engraved on the cup.
"Pierre does a great job, and there's just a neat feel when you walk in the Cullen Center and you see that big trophy..." said Jared Bangs, the girls hockey director for Northern Storm based out of Duluth. "The team I coach, we were in the 12U Division last year, and we thought every game was an absolute blast. The parity was phenomenal, I think everything was a goal or two difference. You had to show up and the girls competed, and there were no blowouts, it was just good competitive hockey from top to bottom."
