The bracket for the Kaposia Classic is out. No game times yet that I've seen, so please post em if you got em.

Roseville vs Owatonna
Eden Prairie vs Hibbing
Crookston vs Stillwater
Henry Sibley vs South St. Paul

Great venue and tournament. Dec 29-Jan 1

Could see a matchup of the #1 and #2 teams in the state in this one if their rankings hold. Lot of hockey to be played yet though...

Potential matchup of the #1 and #2 class AA teams in the state, but I think Roseville might have something to say about that. Could just as well be an all-Suburban East final/rematch. Stillwater is on fire and you have to like them out of the lower bracket and probably to win the cup. EP and Roseville seem likely to make it to the semis on New Year's Eve. This game is a coin flip IMO.

The tournament has lost some of its star power with the competition from the Edina tournament, but you can't beat the venue.

Good analysis, keepitreal. Roseville vs. EP - very tough to predict and I would be just guessing if I did. Then either Roseville or EP vs. Stillwater in the final - same thing. But even this scenario could be all wrong, as stranger things have happened in these tournaments.
