Imagine how different Class A would've been in the 2010s if Breck and Blake were split up back then, too. Would've made for some fun state championship games!

While that's true, Warroad and Dodge County will be heard from. Although Breck looks like a strong favorite this year.

Where do you watch the girls tourney on Wednesday and Thursday stream? NSPN?

Yes. NSPN will have them for free. I'm 99% sure its free, but I have a subscription every year, so I wouldn't notice. In some ways, the Wed-Thurs broadcasts work nicer then 45 tv which has connection issues all the time.

Much appreciated. I have the yearly sub too.

BTW, where is the best place to get the girls scores? I'm having a damn time since the Star & Trib sucks lol.

Edit: terrible what the Trib did to hockey. I was looking at the schedule for the tourney games, and they didn't even have them all listed. Some games were missing.

So the Strib left the old site up and it still works. To get their, go to the new girls hockey hub and click on "Historical Data". From there, you can search for any team, or if you see a link to MSHSL, click that and then schedule to get into the schedule. To make it easier for me, I just bookmarked HM and the schedules...

Same thing for the boys side.

Printable Brackets:
Class A: https://bit.ly/4roblug
Class AA: https://bit.ly/4rM887t

11 a.m. Thursday:[8] Lakeville North (17-9-2) vs. [1] Hill-Murray (23-3-1)
1 p.m. Thursday: [5] Bemidji (20-5-1) vs. [4] Edina (18-4-3)
6 p.m. Thursday:[7] Farmington (22-4-1) vs. [2] Centennial/Spring Lake Park (24-3-1)
8 p.m. Thursday: [6] Andover (17-10-1) vs. [3] Holy Family (24-3)

I think any of the top 3 seeds can win, I'll take HF to win based on strength in net.

11 a.m. Wednesday:[8] Luverne (19-9-9) vs. [1] Warroad (20-5-1)
1 p.m. Wednesday:[5] Proctor/Hermantown (18-6-2) vs. [4] Dodge County (20-6-1)
6 p.m. Wednesday:[7] St. Cloud (18-9-0) vs. [2] Breck (25-1-1)
8 p.m. Wednesday: [6] Mankato East (24-2-1) vs. [3] Blake (21-6)

I think this is a two horse race between Warroad and Breck, whichever team can carry the most energy into Saturday and gets a favorable bounce will take it. I'll take Breck in a tight one because I think DC is a tougher semifinal matchup than Blake, but I acknowledge that Blake's goaltender could steal one.
