You are correct Zamman. You could have used 2004 as an example also.

So, although the Schwan Cup is a fine tourney, it is not the Trophy that teams desire each year. I mean really, who cares who wins the Scwan Cup!

Trust me, a lot of people think winning the Schwans is very important. Some teams, AHA is one, that when the Schwans cup plays, they have only played like 3 games while others have played 5 -10 sometimes. I think getting out there and doing your best is more important that taking home a banner and trophy.

Some of those years I think need an asterisk. Like this season when Hill tied Edina in the semis. I know its happened in other years, and I understand that they cant play five overtimes, but it does go down in the record books as a tie.


I think it's best for a team to win in the first round, then win one of the next two.

I want to say that it was Moorhead. They ended up losing to AHA in the final that year.

WBL beat Moorhead 2-0.

The prior year, Centennial won both the Schwans and State. Its possible.
