Minot AFB was able to send a Varsity and Junior Varsity team to the 2023 International Armed Services Hockey Association tournament that took place 9-12 November in sunny Las Vegas, NV. The tournament, in its 20th year, brought over 70 teams from across the Untied States and Canada to compete for supremacy in the sport amongst Active Duty, Guard, Reserve, Veteran, and Retired military members. Both teams began preparations for the tournament in the summer, holding scheduled practices weekly. The hard work and dedication of the players paid off as both teams were able to take home the gold in both of their respective divisions.
The Varsity team came out strong in the tournament, going 4-0 in their division.
The Junior Varsity team battled through some early adversity finishing off their tournament 2-2.
