Let's separate the age/skill groups, as the rankings thread is getting muddy. This one can be for end of the season/district/region/state in 12A.

I see where last night Edina Green knocked off Eden Prairie again. EP seems like they can beat everyone BUT Edina (but they did do it once). Wonder how much that Edina first line played in that game.

Andover is looking very tough right now, and Mounds View looks strong. Last year in 10A, Rochester was dominant - anyone have a good read on them, and is the little Aney girl as dominant as she was last year?

The younger Aney is only 10 but is playing up at 12UA with her older sister. It sounds like the team is having trouble scoring goals. They are 'in' most of their games and have tied a bunch. The last time I looked at D8 records they were 2-5-4 in league play. I think that a large number of the girls are 1st year's with only a few second year's.

Updating D6

Over the weekend:

Chaska-Chan 5
Shakopee 0

Bloomington 2
Edina White 0

Apple Valley 5
Chaska-Chan 0

Apple Valley 3

So Apple Valley, injuries and all, heads off to the double elimination starting this evening. Nice work, Eagles.


Post other regions here as they become available.

D2

First Round:
Wayzata 5 Stillwater 2
Osseo/MG 3 NSP 2
Highland 3 WBL 0
Moundsview 3 Orono 0

Semis
Wayzata 2 OMG 1
MV 4 Highland 3 4OT

Left side
Orono 4 WBL 3 (WBL eliminated)
NSP 4 Stillwater 1 (Stillwater eliminated)

Just found D10 results:

Buffalo 4
Chisago Lakes 2

Andover 4
Blaine 3 OT

Anoka 5
Champlin 1

NWC 4
Sauk Rapids 0


D2 Update from above info:

So in those D2 playoffs just above, Wayzata and Mounds View are clear into Regions. The two winners of the Thursday games look to get in as well. Interesting in that either North St. Paul or Highland will get knocked off despite good years. OMG and Osseo play in the other game that will determine a regional entry.

Found a couple from D8, who doesn't update as well as the other leagues.

Lakeville only squeaked past Eagan 2-1 (interesting)
Cottage Grove 4-0 over Rochester

No word on Hastings/REV and SSP/IGH and Woodbury

Minnetonka 4

Apple Valley 3

Buffalo 3
Blaine 0

Andover 10
Chisago Lakes 4

Buffalo and Andover advance to regions. Both 2-0 in pool play.
Winner of Blaine/Chisago Lakes play for 5th seed to regions.

Beat me to our score...

Also last night Burnsville wasn't real impressive defensively beating Prior Lake 6-3, so now it's Burnsville/EP and we get the Evil Empire again.

REV 5 Hastings 2
Woodbury 4 SSP\IGH 0

Tonka 3 Edina 2

It's true!

Now if Prior Lake can pull off the miracle we can be spared the rest of the playoffs without the Evil Empire! Way to go, Tonka girls!!!

Eagles head to Regions with the Skippers

Eden Prairie 4
Burnsville 2

The American Region has 4 of 8 in the door. Minnetonka & EP join Wayzata and Moundsview who advanced after winning Sunday vs Osseo and Highland respectively.

The National Region has Lakeville and Cottage Grove advancing with the winner of REV vs Woodbury being the 3rd seed from L8. I'm not even take a shot at what is coming out of L10...that is the biggest cluster I've ever seen. It looks like they came up with the seeding in a dice game. D10 needs to go back to the drawing board.

What happened to Edina? And does Prior Lake have a realistic shot at knocking them out?

D10 truly is a mess for 12A this year! I never understood why they did the 2 division thing. Sauk Rapids and Chisago qualify for the playoffs, but Centennial, with a 12-5-3 record doesn't???? And how come one division played 20 games and the other 21? They don't make the geography distinction for the Bs, so why do it for the As?

Buffalo and Andover are the 2 strongest teams and they are stuck in the same bracket. At least there are plenty of regional berths to go around - how can one District send 5 anyway?

I am not sure of the process for determining how many from each league are seeded to regions. They do seem to adjust it according to the talent in each District and form the League's accordingly. On the boy's side it seems a lot less responsive and many times there are really some easy paths.

The 5 seeds for L10 seems like the right number and even the 4 seeds for L6 is reasonable. From the 12A teams I have seen this year, I don't see many that will get squeeze out of regional play. Centennial is a good example but they got squeezed because of the district 10 rules not because of the Minnesota Hockey. They should have been given the opportunity to compete for one of the five spots.

D8 remaing games:
2/26-
Eagan v. Hastings
Rochester v. SSP/IGH
2/28-
Eagan/Hastings winner v. Woodbury
Rochester/SSP-IGH winner v. REV
3/1-
Third Place game- Winners of 2/28 games
Champioship- Lakeville v Cottage Grove

Only Lakeville and Cottage Grove have secured regional spots. Final spot determined on Sunday.

Burnsville 6
Apple Valley 0

When I left, Edina was up 3-0 over Prior Lake/Savage. If they go on to win then Bville and Edina will be the other two out of D6.

That final was 4-0 Edina, so the Blaze and the Hornets also move on to regions.

Last night in D6

Eden Prairie 2
Minnetonka 1 OT

Minnetonka moves into losers bracket where they get a rematch with Edina Green, who rolled on Burnsville last night

Burnsville is now the D6 #4 seed.

Funny how Minnetonka dad, who is normally first to report didn't manage to report that result

D2 Playoffs:

Highland Central 3 NSP 0
Osseo/MG 2 Orono 1

Highland and OMG join Wayzata and Moundsview at Regions from D2. There are more games left to decide seedings.

Are you talking about how I reported the one score this year??? I will report it.

Unranked Minnetonka 12U A girls who, after beating the #1 ranked team in the state, lose in overtime to the #3 ranked team in the state.

Penalty:
Unsportsmanlike conduct
