The 12U Ice Dawgs traveled to Bozeman last weekend for the State Tournament with one mindset: anything can happen at State. Over three days of intense play, they proved exactly that.

The Dawgs opened the tournament Friday afternoon with a strong 6–2 win over Missoula, followed by a 4–1 victory against Havre that evening. Their momentum carried into Saturday, where they delivered a commanding 7–0 shutout against Salmon, Idaho, clinching their spot in the championship bracket.
Saturday night brought a familiar matchup against long-time rivals, the Billings Bulls. Regulation ended in a tie, and despite a hard-fought overtime effort, the Ice Dawgs fell 4–3. The loss set the stage for a highly anticipated rematch in Sunday’s championship game.

In the title showdown, the Ice Dawgs and Bulls battled through a tight, back-and-forth contest. The Dawgs pushed relentlessly, but Billings edged out a 5–4 win, placing the Ice Dawgs second in the state.

Despite the narrow finish, the Peewee squad closed out their season with grit, heart, and a “give it your all” attitude that carried them through every shift. With practices already underway and eyes set on next season, the Ice Dawgs are determined to return stronger—and ready for another shot to bring home the Championship Banner.
