Each spring, DAYBA produces the "Border Battle" All-Star Game Sponsored by St. Luke's Orthopedics, pitting elite players from Northeastern Minnesota vs. players from North Central Wisconsin. This is the premier all-star game in the Northland!

2022 Border Battle Program B/W
The color 2022 Border Battle Program
The new color program has a complete box score for the boys game. Ifan only had the full boys game for download. The girls' game only had the second half. Stats should be fairly accurate. (I went through the game twice) The only exception, it was very, very hard to be credited with an assist.
