A UNIQUE CHAMPION
For the first time in 12 years, a back door champion was crowned state champion after Duluth East defeated St. Paul Washington 3-1 in the title game. Duluth East, by virtue of it being an even-numbered year, was the Region 3 representative. The Greyhounds, the Region 7 runner-up to Eveleth, were a potent squad with 21 victories. In the championship game, Duluth East got first-period goals from Bill Sivertson and Bill McGiffert. Team-mate Mike Hoene added an insurance goal in the third period.
SLAP SHOTS
- For the first time, all eight participating teams had a player on the all-tournament team.
- Region 1, the metro-area back door, was a four-team event with the runners-up from Regions 2 and 6 joining city Regions 4 and 5 in a mini-playoff. Minneapolis Washburn claimed the first four-team Region 1 back-door crown.
- The only other 20-victory team in the field was Eveleth.
- Minneapolis Henry's Jack Hansen scored with 27 seconds left in regulation to give the Patriots a 3-2 upset victory over Eveleth in the quarterfinals.
- Three of the quarterfinals were decided by one goal and two went to overtime.
- Tournament Attendance: 39,488
