Hammer won the Brimsek, then USHL goalie of the year, then the Clark Cup, now the Penrose. But on a positive note for UND Kaleb Johnson will be 100% ready to go next year.

Two good games. Red River blocked a ton of shots, credit to them. Their forwards play like their head coach, I appreciate that kind of hockey. Thought their goaltender was good as well. I can't remember a time where a west team only gave up 17 shots to Red River. Central vs. RR part 4. Good luck to the kids.

Legacy/Bismarck up 3-1 after two periods. Be nice to have a different champion in the girls ranks.

Four best teams move on. Central vs. WFHS Minot vs. Red River

Shots 34-10, still 2-1 RR. Goaltender from Mandan has been good.

East Grand to state. 3-2 over Marvin Windows AAA. 1-0 RR over Mandan.

Top two west teams with good showings. Now Mandan can't get blown out of the building.

5-1 Minot. Magi look to be moving on.

4-1 Minot after 2 periods.

Minot 4 Davies 0

You and I have coached long enough to know the battle of winning a game with 6 forwards and 4 D. TV timeouts will help, but the 2-3 minute shifts don't help things.

He hesitated, can't do that as a goalie on those pucks. Credit to Century for battling back. Packers face a big task tomorrow.

Some call it that....

What did the Century kid get ejected for?

4-1 for WF already. Mattern two breakaway goals.

Central leads 7-3. Nice to see Bottineau get to celebrate a goal or two while at the Ralph.

Would likewise love anybody but a GF school to win the championship.

Boys tournament kicks off today at REA. The first and last games probably not much to write home about, but the 2:30 and 5:30 games have the opportunity to be good games. Not so difficult prediction for Saturday night......We will have the Roughriders playing the Knights.

Did they have to open up the upper bowl? Love the Ralph. A treat to play there. Just too big.

Pee Wee AA and A tournament. You had Eric Fabian having to fend off parents after the A title game. Not a good scene for youth hockey.

There will be ND state tournaments this year with security guards after what happened at one of the tournaments last year (Fargo parents involved with that one too....surprise.....). I watched the live barn video of the incident. As soon as I saw the Grand Forks players go in front of the Fargo parents I knew it was going to reach a new level. I would have a tough time holding it together if an idiot put their hands on my kid after a hockey game. Man.....

"See those.....yeah....we won a nonconference shootout and we get fireworks. This guy @MafiaMan doesn't understand...."

Very few south kids play. I'd assume they end up playing at Fargo North. Can't imagine they'd be called the Spruins.

According to the NDAHA website this year there will be play in games as B1 will be an 8 team tournament. The top five teams automatically qualify, while the 6 vs. 11, 7 vs. 10, and 8 vs. 9 play it out at home sites.
