POSTING ZEROES
Centennial scored just six goals during this state tournament. No problem, the Cougars figured. That output was enough to send the Circle Pines-based school to the Class AA championship, primarily, because the Cougars posted three consecutive shutouts behind goalie Greg Stutz. The Cougars blanked Holy Angels 2-0 in the quarterfinals and then topped Wayzata 3-0 in the semifinals. In a 1-0 victory over Moorhead in the championship game, Stutz only needed to make 15 saves. Mike Montgomery scored the game's only goal. In Class A, Breck defeated Orono 7-2. Blake Wheeler had three goals in the title game to end the tournament with six.
SLAP SHOTS

- Periods were extended to 17 minutes.
- Tartan makes the first of two state tournament appearances, and Albert Lea makes its state tournament debut.
- The Herb Brooks Award was introduced.
