BUZZING HORNETS

Undefeated Edina East had a goal-differential that stirred memories of Eveleth in the 1940s and early 1950s.  The Hornets outscored its three state tournament opponents by a 20-3 margin.  In 1945, Eveleth had the best differential with a plus-27, and the 1951 Eveleth squad was a plus-20.  Edina East capped the run with a 6-0 victory over Bemidji in the championship game.  Bill Thayer and Dave Finks had a goal and an assist each.

SLAP SHOTS

  • Frank B. Kellogg High School in Roseville made its only state tournament appearance.  They were nicknamed the Chargers.
  • Henry Sibley scored two seconds into a power play during its 4-1 victory over Hibbing in the quarterfinals on a goal by John Albers.  While that record isn't a MSHSL state record that is tracked, it likely is one.
  • Tournament Attendance: 84,210
