Northern Lights has 30 teams competing in Minneapolis for the US Junior National Championships. This is the most teams that any club nationwide has ever qualified/entered in the US Junior National Championships. The club ended the tournament by winning 1 more National Championship, and two third place finishes to bring our total to 14 medals from the 2014 National Tournaments. We believe this is a new record for most medals won by any club at the two National Tournaments in one season.
