EIGHT IS GREAT
Hermantown made its eighth consecutive appearance in the Class A championship game during the tournament. The Hawks, who had just one loss on the season, made the most of the opportunity by successfully defending their Class A crown with a 4-3 double overtime victory over Monticello/Annandale/Maple Lake in the championship game. The Hawks did so the hard way, rallying from a 3-1 deficit in the third period to force overtime. With a third overtime looming, Dylan Samberg scored the winner with 20 seconds remaining in the second extra session. In Class AA, it was a return to northern nostalgia when No. 5 seed Grand Rapids faced off against No. 3 Moorhead. Grand Rapids completed its upset binge with a 6-3 victory. En route to the title, the Thunderhawks defeated No. 4 Maple Grove 6-4 in the quarterfinals, and then defeated No. 1 Eden Prairie 3-2 in the semifinals.

- Grand Rapids goalie Zach Stejskal made 24 saves in the third period of the Thunderhawks' upset win over Eden Prairie in the semifinals.
- Delano makes its state tournament debut.
- Tournament Attendance: 126,255
