EAGLES FLY & STARS SHINE in ONGOING PANDEMIC TOURNEY
Eden Prairie played the part of top seed and team to beat during the 2021 Minnesota State High School League’s Boys Hockey State Tournament. The Eagles, runner-up three times since 2016 and in each of the past two seasons, had the makeup of winning their third championship since 2009. Since their only loss of the season, a setback to longtime Lake Conference rival Edina on Jan. 23, the Eagles assembled a 19-0-2 run to end the season, a spree that reached a crescendo with a thrilling 2-1 victory in double overtime over Lakeville South in the Class AA championship game.
First-time state tournament entrant Gentry Academy (19-0-0) made quite a splash in its debut outscoring the opposition, 21-4, culminating a three-game run of dominance with an 8-1 victory over Dodge County in the Class A championship game. Senior forward Damon Furuseth had a goal and three assists to help power the Vadnais Heights-based private school to a successful first state tournament trip. Dodge County was attempting to complete a magical-type state championship run. The Wildcats defeated a Varsity depleted line-up in No. 1 ranked Hermantown in the quarterfinals and then No. 4 Little Falls in the semifinals in earning a spot in the Class A championship game for the first time in their program history. The Wildcats could draw no closer. Instead, the Stars answered with four more goals in the final minutes to put an exclamation point on their championship run outshooting the Wildcats 54-9.

* Hill-Murray boys qualified for 2021 Tourney, but sadly withdrew from entire Tournament x1 day before they were due to appear in Class AA quarterfinal game with Wayzata. Although no Pioneer player was ill, a player in sectional championship game vs. White Bear Lake had a + test result, leading to a described Minnesota Department of Health COVID team exposure, and mandatory seven day quarantine period. A temporary restraining order/lawsuit was filed mutually by several Hill-Murray families, but was quickly thrown out by seated Judge. Wayzata, in a very classy move, offered to move the Class AA quarterfinal contest to Thursday (which Pioneers would have been out of MDH quarantine time of 7 days, from date of exposure) - but MSHSL declined to do so, leaving no other option but to withdraw Hill-Murray from Tournament as JV players (see Hermantown roster) were either not available to play in game in place of Varsity, nor had skated since season finale.

*16 year old Dylan Falling - #1 [jersey held by team captain in image] was fatally injured in a car accident June 5, 2020 on Hwy. 24 near 675th Ave. in Forest City Township - about 8 miles northeast of Litchfield - that rocked the City of Litchfield, and L-D-C hockey community amid the tragedy to support his family.
According to the Meeker County Sheriff's Office, Falling and teammate Daniel Estrada were in a car that collided with another vehicle. Falling was trapped and had to be extricated by first responders before being airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center. Dylan's legacy lives on today in a 68-year-old man who received the gift of his heart in a transplant procedure in Minnesota, a 34-year-old Minnesota woman received his right kidney, a 45-year-old has Dylan’s left kidney after a procedure in North Dakota, and a 55-year-old man received his liver in a procedure in California. Dylan additionally saved the lives of countless others through tissue donation following his passing.
