Jared Wright and STA have their eye on next year
Hill Murray runs the table at the X, beating three great teams in three days. Eden Prairie finishes second for the third time in five years. St. Thomas with a magical finish to their season, the Cadets will be a team to watch in 2020-21.
Best Game: Blake vs. Benilde St. Margaret's II - usually the sequel isn't as good as the first. But Blake's win on an overtime shootout goal by Gavin Best will go down in history as one of the best games of all time.
Longest Unbeaten Streak: Andover (16)

Blake Biondi grabbed Mr. Hockey and a state runner-up
Mahtomedi wins their first ever state title with an exciting over time win over Goliath Hermantown. After being outshot 45-11 in regulation, the Zephyrs win it all on a Colin Hagstrom GWG in OT. The depth of class A continues to get better and better. Watch out for Dodge County, Little Falls and Denfeld in 2020-21.
Best Game: Hermantown vs. St. Cloud Cathedral I - hard to argue a state final OT win isn't the best game, but the Hermantown/SCC game in Hermantown in January checked all the boxes for excitement...a 5-5 draw with two three goal comebacks by the visiting Crusaders.
Longest Unbeaten Streak - Hermantown (20)
