SLP Oriole Athletic Teams to Play in Holiday Tournaments

St. Louis Park's athletic teams will be hitting the road after Christmas to participate in holiday tournaments.  Here's where the Orioles will be playing.

The boys hockey team will be heading north to Heritage Arena in Duluth December 27-29.  They will open up the day's festivities on the 27th against the Owatonna Huskies at 1 PM.  On Wednesday, December 28, they will take on the Apple Valley Eagles at 3:30 and they will wrap up their trip to the Twin Ports on the 29th against the host team, the Duluth Denfeld Hunters at 3 PM.

As for the combined Hopkins/SLP girls hockey team, they will head up to Fogerty Arena in Blaine to play in the Mid-Winter Border Battle December 28-30.  Their opening round game on the 28th is at 10 AM against the defending Wisconsin state champion Hayward Hurricanes.  They will play either Forest Lake or White Bear Lake on the 29th at 10 AM or 2 PM.

Not too far from Blaine is Arden Hills, where the Oriole boys basketball team will play in the Bethel University Tournament December 28-29.  Their game on the 28th is against the Eagan Wildcats at 4:15 PM.

The girls basketball team will be heading down I-35 to Northfield to play in the St. Olaf Holiday Hoops Classic December 28-30 at Skoglund Center on the St. Olaf College campus.  They will battle the Eagan Wildcats on the 28th at 6:45 PM.

Take your pick.  Whether you decide to head north to Duluth for boys hockey, south to Northfield for girls basketball or venture to the north metro for boys basketball in Arden Hills or girls hockey in Blaine, there's plenty of holiday tournament action coming up for Oriole fans.  Hopefully, the weather picture will be favorable for a tournament road trip.
