2011: SDP Elite 5, MN Blades AAA 0


2011 SDP Elite, 2021 AAA State champions

SDP Elite racked up four goals in the second period and added one for good measure in the third to come away with a 5-0 win over Minnesota Blades AAA to capture top honors in the 2011 Division. 

Tournament co-MVP Zachary Martin's two goals bookended the second period for SDP Elite, with the second coming on a beautiful between-the-legs shot that would have put former New York Ranger Marek Malik to shame. 

Blake Schneider and Brayden Dean also scored in the second period for SDP Elite, and Chase Gunderson added the fifth goal in the second half of the third period to ice the 5-0 win. 

SDP Elite goaltender Donovan Knapp's performance couldn't be missed in the five-goal outburst, as the hulking netminder turned away all 25 shots he faced to earn the shutout. For his efforts, Knapp earned co-MVP honors.
