Connecticut Junior Rangers shock bracket, win Brick Invitational

By Tom JoyceJuly 17, 2019

The Connecticut Junior Rangers Elite AAA Club became just the fourth-ever American team to win the Brick Invitational.

America won, for a change.

Normally dominated by top-level Canadian youth programs, the 30th annual Brick Invitational — an Edmonton-based tournament comprised of teams from the United States and Canada — was claimed by the Connecticut Junior Rangers Elite AAA Club, which shocked the bracket and became the first team from the States to win the tournament in 17 years.

Coincidentally, the Junior Rangers were the last American team to win it, back in 2002 when they were known as the Connecticut Junior Yankees. This year, they also became just the fourth-ever American team to win the tournament.
