ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS
Two big changes were present in the 1975 season: Private schools were able to participate in the state tournament and the back door entry was closed. Grand Rapids captured the tournament championship with a 6-1 victory over Minneapolis Southwest in the final. Dan Lempe had two goals for the Indians while Erin Roth had a goal and three assists. Grand Rapids ended first-year title hopes for Hill-Murray with a 2-0 victory in the semi-finals.
