Teams came from all over to Jay Peak for a great weekend!

 NAHA Red hosted a Holiday Classic Tournament to end the first half of the season, with teams coming from NJ, Quebec, Colorado and VT to participate in the first Holiday Classic Round Robin at Jay Peak Resort's Ice Haus. NAHA White hosted two of the top teams in Quebec for a pair of exhibition games with each team as well. We look forward to making this an annual event, as all participants loved the area, the arena and the hospitality!

 NAHA Red set out to measure their progress over the first half of their season, as they'd played some of the teams in the tournament earlier in the year. They opened on Friday night against the local Rice Knights. After battling back throughout the game, Red forced a shootout when they tied the game at 3, but lost in the shootout. They were focused on the 2nd game of the day on Friday to play their best, and won over the Quebec enrant, L'Estie 3-1. Saturday they opened with a 4-3 win over NJ Colonials in an up and down the ice, fast paced game. Saturday eve they played against the Colorado Select, and in a tight battle, emerged 1-0 winners. As many of the NAHA Red players and families headed home for Christmas break, they'd have to await the Sunday results to see the final standings, with NAHA Red winners of the 1st NAHA - Jay Peak Holiday Classic!! Congrats!!
