ANOTHER TOURNEY FIRST
Hill-Murray capped an unbeaten (28-0) season with a 4-3 victory over Burnsville. In doing so, the Pioneers became the first private school to win a boys' hockey state championship. Hill-Murray opened with a 6-5 victory over Bloomington Kennedy in the final quarterfinal of the day. Tony Curella completed a hat trick with a late third period goal for the win. The Pioneers then topped Henry Sibley 3-1 in the semifinals. Burnsville blanked International Falls in the quarterfinals and then bounced Columbia Heights 5-2 in the semifinals.
SLAP SHOTS
- This was the only state tournament appearance for Columbia Heights.
- International Falls run to state included a Section 7 quarterfinal upset, as the #6 ranked Broncos defeated the #1 ranked Hibbing in OT. It was the 13th and final time that legendary Coach Larry Ross would take his team to state.
- In one of the tournament's most legendary tales, defending champion Edina lost 2-0 to Columbia Heights in the quarterfinals. Columbia Heights goalie Reggie Miracle made 29 saves, many in spectacular fashion, in blanking the Hornets.
- This was the first of five consecutive state tournament appearances and nine overall for Burnsville.
- Tournament Attendance: 102,596
