Hawaii and Alaska each played a 30-minute running-time “overtime” period with the game concluding at 1 p.m. EST on Saturday, March 1.
In each game, one team was designated “Stars” and one team “Stripes.” The final national score was Stripes 190 points to Stars 163 points. More details can be found at www.usahockey.com/24hougame.
