CLASS 1A BRACKET

FINAL: No. 2 St. Cloud Cathedral 4, No. 6 Orono 1

Senior forward Joey Gillespie scored the first for the Crusaders, and senior forward Jaeger Wood scored the second on a bar-down goal.

“He has the best shot on the team, hands down,” Crusader coach Robbie Stocker said. “I don’t think there is anybody who has a better shot in Class A hockey that we’ve seen."

FINAL: No. 4 East Grand Forks 7, No. 1 Hibbing/Chisholm 5

The Green Wave turned a 5-2 deficit to a 6-5 lead in two minutes, 44 seconds of game time as they went on to defeat the Bluejackets 7-5.

“We were kind of down,” Hibbing/Chisholm senior captain Jace Kampsula said. “We were kind of hanging our heads a bit. We still had a lead. We should’ve been more up and ready to go than we were. I think that’s a big reason why we came out in the third flat.”

CLASS 2A BRACKET

FINAL: No. 2 Stillwater 4, No. 3 St. Thomas Academy 0

Stillwater goalie Cal Conway finished with 36 saves as the Ponies shut out the Cadets.

"Everyone can see he’s a great goaltender," Stillwater's Blake Vanek said. "Each game he plays, he battles as hard as anybody I’ve ever seen back there. He’s got so much confidence. I’ve never seen a player with more confidence than him."

FINAL: No. 1 Moorhead 4, No. 5 Edina 3

Moorhead's Zac Zimmerman scored two goals to lead the Spuds to the Class 2A title game, where they hope to win their first state title in school history. The Spuds are 0-8 in state title games.

“Everybody in here knows the story line,” Moorhead coach Jon Ammerman said. “Us adults, old people, have memories of that. Our last runner-up finish was in 2017, and a lot of these guys were youth hockey players. And before that they weren’t even alive. This is their chance. They’re familiar with the history, but this is their chance to create some history.”
