Cold as Ice

This week I picked the Foreigner classic "Cold as Ice" because the Bottineau 19U were frozen out at the state championship game this past weekend in Fargo.

The Bottineau girl's hockey team lost 5-3 in the championship to the Fargo Freeze.

I wasn't personally able to make it to the tournament, but Bottineau Courant intern Heather Milbrath, who attends NDSU, was able to take some excellent pictures.

I really like them, and I think you will too. She did a great job.

All the following photos from the tournament were taken by Heather:
