Wow! The Blue Division will rock n' roll!

To bad Eagan and Bemidji aren't in the Blue instead of ER and Hopkins.

In my opinion it sounds like schwans got it right.
As I recall hopkins already beat Eagan 7-1.
I can't speak on ER's behalf but Iam sure that they will have fun.

Should probably have been Mayo, Bemidji, or Eagan in there. ER is young, and a very young goalie.

These are the interesting first round matchups that stick out to me--

CEC vs Coon Rapids
Mayo vs Bemidji


Hill vs Cretin--rivalry game
Eastview vs Warroad--always like to see what the north has
Woodbury vs Irondale

I would add the Blake vs. Hopkins game. The No. 1 Class A school (private) against a solid AA team (public). Blake's arena is located in Hopkins and many of the opposing players (and parents) know one other.

Blake 3
Hopkins 0

empty net for Margaret Chute
Kallie Billadeau(hopkins goalie)stopped 34 shots
Rachel Bowens-Rubin (blake goalie) stopped 17

CEC wins in a shootout. Coon rapids went ahead 2-0 but CEC tied it up. No score in OT, CEC wins the shootout 2-0.

Many of the Schwan cup games are live on the web at http://www.crystalclearsports.net/main.htm
The last part of the BSM ER game is on now.
Looks like all of the championship games are on the 29th

Benilde-St. Margaret's 6, Elk River 3.

In the semi's of Blue Division tomorrow it's Blake vs. Hill Murray and Cloquet vs. BSM - should be two excellent games.

Lots of great games. Today's semi-final highlight games IMHO:
Warroad vs Bemidji
Forest Lake vs Irondale
Eagan vs Silver Bay
Richfield vs Prior Lake
Irondale vs Forest Lake
Blake vs Hill
CEC vs BSM

Hopkins 5
Cretin Derham Hall 3

It was a very unusual game. Hopkins was down 3 - 0 at one point but came back with 5 unanswered goals, one being an empty net.

CDH does not look like the team they were early in the season.

BSM 1
CEC 0

Blake over HM 3-1 I think. BSM vs Blake tomorrow for the championship.

Prior Lake 4 Richfield 1 - bad day for the Spartans. All four goals by PL's first line. O'Keefe 2 goals and an assist.

That's huge for PL to get 4 goals against Rich, one of the better D/G teams in class A.

For a team that lost arguably their top forward and their #1 goalie to transfers, and has a new coaching staff, this team is surprising many.

Realitty check for Richfield. Good work for PL.

Two good points, and although they lost two key players they also added a pretty good forward in D. Young from Hopkins. I haven't seen them play this year, but any line with Young and O'Keefe will be a pretty tough to stop.

It always seems like the holiday tourney time is when you see the most upsets, fun time of year to be a hockey fan.

Not sure if Prior Lake winning was really an upset. We knew they would be tough. I think they handed it to South Saint Paul pretty good and we only won 2-1. My understanding is that the goalie was playing bantams last year and she was pretty tough! I also always though O'Keefe was the better player than the transfer they lost. Maybe not as flashy but smart, strong and more of a team player.

Today - Richfield 2 - Bismark 1 - both goalies played great, faced a lot of tough shots. Winning goal Savage unassisted - banked it off the d into the net.

Physical game, Bismark had some big kids that are strong on their skates.

It sounds like you play for Richfield or are a parent of a player.

Which is it Puck Bag?

Cloquet 2
Hill-Murray 1

Blue 3rd place game

I'm a Richfield parent.
