I believe Warroad came in at #1. They didn't look real good against Denfeld, so I guess it wasn't a huge suprise they lost to Edina. But that game was the best I thought. It was just exceptional D and sound fundamentals. Remember the winner being a slapper at the circle cause Chad Erickson was near impossible to get anything by.

'98 tournament with East winning it all. Two days before the start, coming down with the worst flu of my life. 103+ fever. Laying on the couch, shaking, trying to focus my eyes on the TV on Wednesday afternoon...all I remember of the first two games was Hermantown putting the hurt on some opponent.

Barely better on Thursday, coughing my head off every time I cheered as East beat Hastings.

Beating Jefferson in overtime on Friday night.

Northern teams winning the 'ship in both classes.

I can't believe it's been ten years already??!!

Aah yes, the infamous "Jon Brill rule." Knocked over, fell on the puck very late in the game leading to a pp for BJ which led to the tying goal ultimately spelling demise for the Indians. What a crappy call!

Northern sweep ten years ago.........wow seems like yesterday

60 years ago Eveleth begins their tear of 4 straight championships

Winning goal was scored early in the 2nd OT by junior Mike Hiniker. Teammate Chad Vandertop had a developing 2 on 1 with a back checker coming on him, Vandertop attempted to center the pass, it was blocked and he took it around the net with the Warroad D man following him and the other guy locked up by the backchecker.....Vandertop tried to go for a stuff but it ended up being a centering pass and coming onto the play was Hiniker who blasted a wrist shot upstairs on Erickson.....he never even knew where the puck was until Hiniker was releasing the puck from just in front of the crease.

It was a fabulous game.....one in which why I want to see a Roseau-Edina championship simply because of the 1,000 fans that will cheer for Edina and the 18,000+ that will be cheering for Roseau. It was that same way in the Edina-Warroad game in '88. Even throughout the whole game, except the 2nd OT when Edina started controlling the play due to skating 4 lines throughout the whole game on warm, heavy ice that took energy out of everyone's legs. Just happened to hit Warroad's double shifting team quicker due to the depth.

The '88 tourney is still one of the best I've seen since there was really no considered "favorite." Warroad was undefeated, Jefferson was the top dog from the metro, and Edina was simply a 4 seed in Section VI that peaked come playoff time.

I always thought the '99 AA tournament had the best overall 8 teams of any tournament. Not really a super weak team in the bunch, and it had the crazy Hastings-Blaine game in the quarters.

Exactly. As for Edina's win, the team wouldn't have fared well against the title teams from '82 or '84 and wasn't as accomplished during the season as the ones from '81, '83, or '86. But they played steady and kept winning playoff games. Good goaltending too.

You seem to remember this vividly. Do you remember they got caught on linechanges about 10 times in the three games and continually had to have guys hustle back to thwart the attack almost every time they changed on the fly?! It was weird. Just kept happening.

Larry Olimb was the star of Warroad, but Edina's depth wore them out in an epic.

30 years ago 1978 edina east and grand rapids in thriller double OT edina with the win.Who remembers that.

You remember who got screwed on the goal in OT

Was that in OT when the shot hit the back of the net and flew out as fast as it went in?

yes and there was no instant replay back then,but ive seen it and it did go in if you play it slowmo

Kurt Kleinendorst was the one that blasted that shot. He definitely got all of it.

25th anniversary of HM 28-0 season.
That was one heck of a team.
243 goals scored that season.
The final game of the regular season in Rochester had John Marshall leading 7-2 during the second period and 7-3 entering the third before Hill-Murray rallied to win in overtime 8-7.
Rumor has it they sat in a quite locker room between period 2-3 and listened to RJM talk about them and then came out and did what needed to be done.
