I didn't go through all sections yet but I did see a few interesting changes for Girls Hockey.
After some recent updates by the MSHSL, I think below are all of the changes for Girls Hockey beginning in 2013-14.
Change of section but same class:
Mound-Westonka from 2A to 5A
Totino-Grace from 4A to 5A
Chisago Lakes from 7A to 4A
Princeton/Big Lake/Becker from 7A to 5A
Andover from 5AA to 7AA
Buffalo Bison from 6AA to 8AA
Change from AA to A:
Bloomington Kennedy from 2AA to 5A
St. Paul Blades from 4AA to 4A
Minneapolis Novas from 4AA to 5A
- LATEST CHANGE
Change from A to AA:
AHA/Richfield from 5A to 2AA
Rogers from 5A to 5AA
St. Louis Park from 5A to 6AA
Section 5A looks quite different than last year and 4AA is down to 7 teams (with no co-op's).

Achiever Academy (Northern Educate) has been assigned to Section 4A. 4A now has 9 teams.

Looks like AHA is back in Section 5A, did they tweak the sections again, or did I miss something along the way.

I think you're right, there has been some tweaking going on recently. St. Louis Park is back in 5A too.
Section 4A still looks to be messed up a bit. Earlier Achiever Academy had Great River School and Twin Cities Academy High School in a co-op with them, now all 3 are split apart on the MSHSL website. I'm fairly certain there are 9 teams in 4A (not 11).

Great River is playing with the St Paul Blades (one player). AFAIK the one TCA player is still playing with Achiever Academy.

Do you mean a previous TCA player is now at Achiever playing JV only?? There are no co-opted players that I know of on AA girls team.

Yeah. Didn't have a clue whether varsity or JV. Whichever.

This is not related to Section Assignments, but interesting facts though. Numbers were taken from the Star Tribune Hub sites:
FOOTBALL
379 - # of Teams
7 - # of Classes (includes 9-Man)
54 - # of Teams per Class
BOYS HOCKEY
182 - # of Teams
2 - # of Classes
91 - # of Teams per Class
GIRLS HOCKEY
142 - # of Teams
2 - # of Classes
71 - # of Teams per Class

So 6AA only has 7 teams?
You want that first seed even more now, I would guess.

I'm pretty sure that Minnesota has 120 or 121 Varsity Girls Hockey teams. I think the Hubs include some out-of-state teams which is probably reflected in your numbers above.
The MSHSL website currently shows 59 teams in Class A (erroneously inflated by 2 teams in Section 4A as mentioned above) and 64 teams in Class AA. The KRACH rankings currently show 55 teams in Class A and 65 teams in Class AA. Not sure which is correct.

Will the phantom teams please raise their hands?

I think these are the "phantom" teams on the MSHSL site:
Great River School - 4A (co-oping with St. Paul Blades?)
Twin Cities Academy High School - 4A
Breckenridge High School - 6A
So I believe the correct count for 2013-14 is:
56 teams in Class A
64 teams in Class AA
= 120 total
(IF the MSHSL site is correct regarding St. Louis Park, then they should be moved from AA to A in the KRACH and QRF rankings.)

Bloomington High Schools cooped their two girls teams.
4AA and 4A have often had 9 teams before. Play in game required.

Yes, it looks like 5 sections currently have 9 teams (4A, 5A, 3AA, 5AA, & 8AA) and thus will need a play-in game.

On the flip side, any sections with only 7 teams?

7A has 6 teams -- single A has fewer than the 64 needed to create 8, 8 team sections
