The Moose Jaw 12U Mustangs, which included five players from Swift Current, went 4-0 in the round robin, only losing to the Denver Elite 11-5 in the gold medal game. 

The 16U Mustangs, with six Rampage players on the roster, earned gold after going 3-1 in round robin and beating the Cali Lax All-Stars 6-5 in overtime in the final. 

Local players Jax and Amy Brown earned game MVP awards during round robin play.
