After drudging through the utmost adversity during this year's hockey season, we have reached the finale of the 2020-21 season - The Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament. Only a couple months ago, it was popular opinion that The Tourney would never happen due to complications surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. But thankfully, this beloved playoff event and celebration of our sport is taking place at the Xcel Energy Center in downtown Saint Paul.
There will be a somewhat nontraditional "feel" at the X, with limited capacity attendance and the unfortunate absence of a couple teams deemed ineligible. But we hope the experience for the boys is still as special as it they hoped it would be. For these athletes, they are fulfilling a lifelong dream to step on that ice sheet and represent their schools and communities.
We are honored to yet again have tremendous representation of our program among the teams participating this year, in both Class AA and A. Here is the list of current and former MAP South Hockey athletes to watch and cheer for at The Tourney.
