Where is this being broadcast online?

And here I thought it was an 8 team tournament. Shows what I know.

It is being streamed by ncsports.org, but for a fee. Only games that are free are championship Saturday games at Ridder.

Write in candidates are happily accepted. Maybe I should have put Other as an option to be pc.....nah we voted that out in November but I'm sure your squad will get a participation medal!

You could have thought about Centennial as a choice, over Minnetonka. They are at least even money to win that 1st round game I would think.

But you do the poll the way you want. Personally, I would have listed
EP
STA
"The field"

Based on the numbers so far, the people see EP/STA playing to settle that tie game from just last week.

Looks like there may be a free stream of Wayzata/STA here: https://livestream.com/ccxmedia/events/6811371

STA 2, Wayzata 0 after 1. Not a bad period for Wayzata as they had some decent patches of zone time, but STA just looks very crisp in every regard. Great in transition, smart defensively, no real weaknesses.

STA 2, Wayzata 1 after 2. Strong period for the Trojans, as they killed off a major (on which they had the better scoring chances), popped one, and missed on a couple of other point-blank chances. They really need to stay out of the box, though; almost every time they build momentum, they kill it with penalties, often bad ones.

STA is still being aggressive flying people up the ice, but Wayzata has caught on and isn't making the same mistakes they were earlier. Capezza has been strong in goal for STA, including a huge save on Ness during the major.

Nurface- Thanks this is awesome! Karl thx for updates. For the poll I just took the top rated squads. Centennial could easily make the final. And it appears in typical Wayzata fashion gave St Thomas all they could handle.

STA 3, Wayzata 1, Final (ENG). Shots slightly in STA's favor.

A pretty fair result. Wayzata is nowhere near as bad as their record makes them look; the just need to stay out of the box and score a little more. They're not too far off from being a very dangerous team.

STA is a nice, complete team--they're right up there with Elk River in that regard--and did a nice job playing keep-away toward the end and avoiding an exciting finish. But, I'll level the same criticism I always have for STA: they're too reliant on poaching off of other team's mistakes. They were the better-skating team, but once Wayzata figured them out, the Trojans did a pretty good job of limiting them. An opponent that plays smart hockey from the start can knock them off...as has happened in recent years in the playoffs with the Cadets.

It appears I was looking at some older rankings as Karl has both Centennial and HM ranked ahead of Tonka. I mean Hill is undefeated! So yes the poll is
flawed. But we are watching free puck on the big screen!

Indeed a quality squad. Don't hand that tournament bid to Stillwater just yet!
Unfortunate they have to end games with shoot-outs!
