The 29th annual Icebreaker Invitational girls youth hockey tournament will be held January 10-12. Seventy teams and nearly 1,000 players ages 8-16 from across the Midwest and Canada will participate in the event. Admission is free. “For 30 years, the Duluth Icebreakers Girls’ Hockey Association has provided an enjoyable, nurturing and competitive hockey experience for thousands of girls across the city of Duluth,” said Duluth Girls Hockey Association president Judd Medak. “Not only have they provided a high level of competition and a platform for those girls wanting to play hockey at a higher level, but more importantly, they have fostered an environment for personal development, both on and off the ice, giving girls the skills, knowledge, self-confidence, and appreciation of commitment to be successful in life’s future endeavors outside of the game of hockey.”
