WORKING OVERTIME
Playing bonus hockey was the theme of the 1970 tournament with six of the 11 games going at least one extra period. The championship game was an overtime thriller with Minneapolis Southwest defeating Edina 1-0 behind a goal from William Shaw. How's this for extra drama? Both schools had entered the championship game with unbeaten records and were located about 2 1/2 miles away from one another.
SLAP SHOTS
- St. Paul Johnson needed five overtimes to defeat Greenway-Coleraine in the quarterfinals. The Governors would finish fourth in the tournament.
- St. Paul Johnson goalie Doug Long made 61 saves in that game, which for years would stand as a single-game state record. He still holds the most saves for one tournament with 124.
- Minneapolis Southwest became the only Minneapolis school to ever win the tournament title, and by extension, the first winner from Region 5.
- Tournament attendance surpassed the 80,000-mark at 83,625
