This is the first time these two 7A Lake Superior Conference teams have faced one another in what will be a game with some seeding ramifications at stake.  

The Wolverines are coming off a respectable 3-1 loss to 8AA Sartell-St. Stephen. Rock Ridge is led at forward by juniors Dylan Hedley (9-13-22) and Isaac Flatley (5-13-18), as well as senior Keegan Ruedebusch (2-17-19), who lead a score-by-committee attack for the Wolverines.

On the blueline, senior Nick Troutwine (12-7-19) and sophomore Sam Troutwine (2-4-6) bring size physicality and never hesitate to pull the trigger from the point. 

Between the pipes, senior goaltender Ian Kangas (.901 save percentage) has carried most of the mail for Rock Ridge, but the Wolverines have given opportunities to juniors Levi Maki (.933 save percentage) and Wade Harsila (.972 save percentage) this season.  

Proctor is coming off a 6-2 victory over 5A Princeton. The Rails attack is led by seniors Kennan Reyelts (21-13-34), Dylan Haala (2-24-26), and Cullen Solem (5-10-15).  

On defense, sophomore Carson Pavlowich (7-12-19) and Tanner Olson (5-9-14) are Proctor's workhorses on the back end, logging many minutes and contributing well on both sides of the puck.  

Senior goaltender Samuel Johnson (.916 save percentage) and sophomore A.J. Reyelts (.933 save percentage) have split the goaltending workload this season for the Rails.
