RETURN TO ST. PAUL
For the third time in its history, the boys hockey state tournament is back in St. Paul where it currently resides. Benilde-St. Margaret's in Class A, and Elk River in Class AA, won the first championships in the state-of-the-art facility that still ranks as one of the nation's finest arenas. Benilde-St. Margaret's won its second title in three seasons with a 2-1 victory over Rochester Lourdes. Ian Schaser and Ricky Hopkins had the two goals for the Red Knights. Elk River rolled to an 8-1 victory over Moorhead in the Class AA championship. Kelly Plude paced the Elks with a hat trick. Elk River had a nail-biter in the semifinals before breathing easier after a 4-3 victory over Hastings. Wade Harstad scored 42 seconds into overtime to lift Moorhead to a 3-2 victory over Greenway-Coleraine in the semifinals.
