GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. – The Thunder Bay bantam Kings are off to a winning start at Star of the North tournament in Grand Rapids, Minn., after defeating the Fargo Freeze 3-2 in overtime Friday.

The Kings are back at it twice Saturday beginning with an 11:30 a.m. encounter vs. the Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars.
