Team Montana Captures 2012 President's Cup!
A team of 14 young high school men from Montana competed in the regional Presidents Cup Ice Hockey tournament in Rapid City March 16-18. En route to Rapid City, the players stopped in Gillette for a practice where most of them met each other and the coaches for the first time.
The tournament showcased top teams from the USA Hockey Northern Plains District including Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Friday night MT played the local team Rushmore falling short in a close game 6 to 5. Saturday they bested North Dakota West 5 to 1. That evening MT matched up against the favored Gillette, WY, team and earned a 4 to 2 victory placing them in the championship game on Sunday. The MT team once again met the home team, Rushmore. At the end of the second period the score was tied 2-2 with MT goals by Matt Mohar and Jerico Crouse. Mid way in the third, Karsten Risla tipped in a goal putting MT ahead. Shortly after, Beau Milton put the puck in the back of the net increasing the MT lead. Mohar sealed the victory with 2:57 remaining in the game, adding one more goal to place MT on top 5 to 2.
These outstanding young men had never played together before, in fact, they usually play against each other. As ambassador s of MT hockey they represented themselves and their state well. In the four game tournament, the team posted a total of only 7 penalties, far below any other team characterizing their outstanding sportsmanship and teamwork. Team MT players were: Vincent Cavannaugh, Joe Tyrrell, Wayne Mickelsen (BZN); Jerico Crouse, Matt Mohar (Helena); Dublin Sullivan, Devin Younker (Butte); Harely Eliason, Connor Simensen, Ryan Padden (Glasgow); Darin Keierleber, Alex Picicci, Karsten Risla (Billings) and Beau Milton (Joliet). Team MT was coached by Kevin Fillbach and Bill Zaniboni of Bozeman.
