As an alum from Eagan, hats off to the boys. After a brutal game last night, they came back and responded with a 5-3 victory over the Hornets to capture their first state hardware in program history. Plenty of players coming back next year, should be back in the mix again! Congrats Eagan!

Eagan up 4-2 at the end of 2 periods. Sounds like it's been a good game so far, but there's a lot of hockey left. Could be another shootout like when both teams played earlier this year when Edina won 7-6.

The Adam Johnson show those last two goals...what a sick move for his 2nd goal, just filthy. I'm impressed with his play so far, tons of poise.

I've got a gut feeling that next season they will decide to opt up for the next 2 upcoming seasons. I realize next year they will be in Class A, but I think after that we could be seeing them in AA.

Gotta say, I'm impressed with Adam Johnson of Hibbing. Excited to see him play again on a big stage against Hermantown. Anyone think this could has the skill set to land at say a WCHA school?

I never knew that Roseau uses different colored jerseys for youth hockey...earning the green and white, that's really cool.

That 2005 Class A Title game was one for the ages. The North-South, Public-Private rivalry between Warroad and Totino Grace. Just great hockey that day. I remember Marvin with the game winning goal and the Warroad fans erupted. In my opinion I think it could be argued that both of those teams could ...

I can't even try to start to rank these teams but in any order here are the top 13 that stand out in my opinion: Edina, Bloomington Jefferson, Hill Murray, Roseau, International Falls, Grand Rapids, Duluth East, Burnsville (underrated "elite" program in my opinion, based on success in 80s ...

Can't believe within ten years Greenway went from a 3rd place finish at the Class AA Tournament to what they are right now. Wish they could still compete, cause it was fun to watch the David vs. Goliath when they took down the mighty EP Eagles that year.

State Tournament Memories

Just a thread to reminisce or talk about fun state tournament memories. My first state tournament memories were watching the games on tv after school in elementary school and never being able to finish the nightcap game cause it'd get too late. I remember watching the Hastings teams that qualified y...

Haven't seen Moorhead this year, but this should be a pretty even matchup on paper. I give Eagan the slight edge but I expect both of these teams to battle.

Eagan 3 (OT)
Moorhead 2

Class AA Seeding

1st Question - When do they seed for Class AA?

2nd Question: Projections of seedings? (with two of these two squads HM/WBL and MG/Blaine waiting to advance)
