Just like District 8, District 1 had a championship game that was everything a championship game should be. Two evenly matched teams fighting it out with seesawing scoring.
MPLS*Park 6
Richfield 5
Incredible game. Just when MPLS*Park looked like they would be running away with the game Richfield would fight right back. Came down to a pulled goalie for Richfield in the last 1:30, but they couldn't put the biscuit in the basket. Didn't have the overtimes that D8 had, but the parents on both sides were biting a lot of fingernails all game.
Most importantly, well refereed game. I have seen District games where the refs wanted to be the center of attention rather than the game. These refs did a great job letting the kids play hockey.
A great game between two good teams. Good luck to both at South Regionals. MPLS*Park takes the #1 seed. Richfield will play Sunday against Highland for the #2 and #3 seeds
SWPrez, your team pulled it off. great game by them and your goalie seemed really good with his glove. i dont think he let anything in glove side. hopefully we will be seeing you guys again in regions that was a very fun game to play in. Good luck to your boys in regions.
Rapids won't get to state.. Period. They have to get through D10 #1 Sauk Rapids, D11 #2 Moose Lake, and D11 #3 DE Red; and then beat the #1 or #2 team from the other bracket, which is I Falls, Ely, Centennial Red, and DE Black.
ok whatever you say i have been watching these guys almost all year. they beat mooselake 6 to 1 mooselake beat de red 4 to 2 and rapids is just as good as ifalls aslong as they dont have to play centenial red in a fourth game they have a shot
no he didnt he play half the game after the other one let in four and then he held ifalls scoreless the rest of the game is what all the dads said at the arena
