We had an excellent turnout of teams. We had Raymond, Foremost, Warner, Cardston, Milk River, and our own Magrath Stingers. The first game that we had was with the boys from Raymond. The Magrath boys got goals from Conner Barnett with 3, Mitch Maxwell also had 3. Mackie Helgeson got 3 assists along with Chase Helgeson who got one assist. Our second game was with the team from Foremost. The score is not important but what is important is that we had alot of fun. The team from Magrath is really starting to mold as a unit. The final game for our Stingers was with a team from Milk River. The team fought hard and made a good showing. Conner Barnett got 3 goals and Mitch Maxwell got 1, Mackie Helgeson got an assist. The Hustler award was awarded to Conner Barnett in game 1, Jason Ragan in game 2 and Amber Foggin in game 3. We also had a couple of Sharpshooters on the team in the form of Conner Barnett and Levon Fox.
