Color me shocked! Rosemount did a great job of locking down STA. Seemed like STA had some trouble moving the puck around with their sticks too. Wonder if the Irish had a chip on their shoulder from all the chatter of being the #1 seed over STA?

The caboose section. Section starts and concludes so late that people forget about it.

Interesting read. The AA state champ has also held the trophy since 2022.

Trying to find an answer. NCAA implemented the full cage rule in 1978. https://www.ncaa.org/news/2012/6/8/ice-hockey-rules-committee-to-examine-three-quarter-face-shields.aspx Based on researching vintage photos over at Vintage Minnesota Hockey, MSHSL players started wearing the full mask in the 197...

If Hill advances to state, I think the 4 vs 5 is Hill vs. Edina/Wayzata. If chalk, Tonka, Moorhead, STA would get some combo of the 1AA, 5AA, and 7AA winners.

Gotta love naming rights to fund raise!

Surprised they just didn't go all the way and have naming rights for the ice sheet!

My apologies, Lee. Didn't realize you had set up a poll in another thread.

I like Rapids game down the home stretch, so I'll take them. I'm not as well versed on 218 hockey as others on here, so not much to add.

I like Centennial, but after Andover's run last year, hard to count them out. Mark Manney seems to get the most of this team come playoffs. I think Andover makes this a game, maybe even force OT, but I'll go Centennial.

Karl wins.

Every year this pick'em humbles me. You think you have all the answers and then the games happen.

Rolling with the Trojans here. They've picked up their game quite a bit towards end of the season. Have the big win over Edina to close out the regular season and then take down Rogers. Haven't been too impressed with Edina's game as of late having watched them in person a couple times. If Bode McCo...

Taking STA here. They have one of the best top lines in the state and a freshmen phenom in net. They're going to be a tough out for the teams left. My favorite to win it all of the teams still standing.

Chan needs a repeat performance in net to have a chance in this one. I think Tonka is punching their ticket to state.

Hard not to take Lakeville South here. Farmington has just been eeking along in the section playoffs. Tough to really buy into them.

Pretty epic win for USA over Canada's video game roster with the two greatest players in the world - MacKinnon and McDavid.

Any thoughts on the Shakopee loss? No disrespect to Chan but that’s gotta be tough for Shakopee to swallow. Another disappointing end for them. Chan's goalie was the MVP of the game. Probably Shako's last run for a while, they graduate a lot of seniors. They kind of feel snakebit. Quite a bit of ta...

Kinda bored with another Edina vs. Wayzata section final but should be a good game. I like Wayzata's game down the stretch and could see them punching their ticket in St. Paul.
