Fellow Hockey Wilderness posters mbennett and SpaethCo joined me at the event. We had a fantastic time, and highly recommend to all of you that you check this out next year.
To show just how into hockey we Minnesotans are, it was a beautiful summer day in the low 80s with nary a cloud in the sky, yet 2,000 die-hard Wild fans were inside watching kids who may be 4 to 5 years from the NHL play a scrimmage.
The roster was as follows:

More after the jump
Alexander Fallstrom looked awfully good. Excellent finishing touch. His Shattuck line-mate, Erik Haula also made a nice impression.
Jarod Palmer had the best move in the shootout
Colton Gillies was a man among boys out there, but with his NHL experience, he should have been.
Matt Kassian has an NHL-ready body. now, if he can just show some consistency, he's ready to be a power forward.
Peter Kalus also showed promise. His puck control was far and away the best of the day.
Now for the pictures (thanks to SpaethCo for some of these):
100% of Cal Clutterbuck's agree: "Hockey Wilderness: A-OK!"
