Shakopee has had a strong season. Minnetonka has shown the ability to skate with anyone, but also is liable to have a clunker every once in a while.

edit: I'm curious about some games being weekday afternoon puck drops. Why is this? Limited ice time due to the season being pushed later?

How about Edina and SLP in the first round. Could St. Louis Park pull the shocker? Edina has been playing really well lately though, so unlikely.

Wondered same thing, but not seeing verification anywhere? Must have happened quickly after seeds were released if true.

Not only that, but those teams played yesterday afternoon. That's quite the sense of urgency on the testing and admin work at BOTH schools to end their seasons by earlier this afternoon.

From the Shakopee Twitter feed:

Due to a positive covid test on our team, we are now quarantined and will not be eligible to return before our first scheduled section game.

We are heartbroken for our athletes, especially our 12 seniors.

Good luck and good health to all the remaining teams.

I don’t disagree, ESPG. I would be pretty tempted to just ‘bubble’ an entire team until the end of the season. Not sure this is realistic, but this is just so heartbreaking for all these kids whose seasons are ending like this.

No, there is no mandatory testing.

The bubble can probably be only partially successful as it's not necessarily your team where the Covid positive test would originate, at least some of these teams who have had their season prematurely end are due to being exposed to an opponent who had a positive test after playing a game.

Yes, makes sense re: exposure from your opponent.

Sir, I no longer have any respect for your judgement.

Are the masks not helping against the on ice transmission? 1 team with a positive test result that is not found out until section finals could conceivably wipe out a section based on the opponent exposures. Team A beats B, beats C and loses final to team D. Team C has positive result after Team A loses to Team D. Does Team D need to quarantine now based on potential exposure from Team C via Team A?
