Here is the bracket

State Tournament Brackets

 

[57special]

I think Tonka got screwed a bit having to go through Hill Murray and STA.

Hill is terrible. East and STA are a tossup IMO.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

This.

Hill could be the worst team in the tournament.

With how close the top 4 is in terms of record and head to head, Minnetonka would have had to have gone by one of Duluth East or STA as 2Pair alluded. This should be a hell of a Friday night session.

Yeah, friday night looks like it could be really really good. Thursday, not so much. Although, Centennial should give STA a game.

Sucks the Evil Empire got back in...in addition to WBL dropping the ball again. Dangit.


Nice to see SMA getting in for their first dance.

Can't wait for the Tourney to start!

 

[Wild in KC]

This is the time of year I miss not living in Minnesota.

 

[BigT2002]

All I wanted for Christmas was Maple Grove to make the tourney again. Damn it Centennial lol

[puckMAN]

Only one D1 recruit in A?

1 Commitment,but Watkins from Hermantown,Pilarski Dulak & Huber from Mahtomedi and Suchy from Orono are all possible D1 players.

 

[57special]

Walker is a shoe in for Mr. Hockey?

 

[puckMAN]

Walker is a shoe in for Mr. Hockey?

Yes

 

[mn1993vintage]

Hoping the Mankato East boys can pull off the upset to kick off the tourney

 

[a79krgm]

Hypothetically, would there be any class A schools who would have a chance to win a AA title?

 

[mn1993vintage]

Hypothetically, would there be any class A schools who would have a chance to win a AA title?

I'd say Hermantown but at that it'd still be a long shot

 

[57special]

Hypothetically, would there be any class A schools who would have a chance to win a AA title?

no.

 

[Northerner]

Mankato East has nice jerseys.

 

[BigT2002]

KFAN tweeted out a thing that Hermantown is looking for AA next year...interesting

 

[Northerner]

Is the goalie from Mankato East D1?

 

[mn1993vintage]

Is the goalie from Mankato East D1?

He hasn't been offered anything from any D1 schools. Kind of a mystery as to what he'll do after this year

 

[gphr513]

Hermantown and Monicello about to drop the puck.

Had to break out the ol' bunny ears to get 45 tuned in again this year.
