Commentary

 No. 1 Tonka goes 4-1 versus some stiff competition last weekend in East Grand Forks. The Skippers have only lost three times all season...once in January and twice in October. Any guess who the favorite to win state in Shakopee this March is?

Andover grabs the vacant slot at #10 this week. The Huskies went 2-1 on the week and are number 8 in the NOW Rankings.

Commentary

The top five stay the same this week in PWA. River Lakes is on a tear, winning their last six games, the Stars are up to No. 6 this week. The only other change this week is Mankato making it back into the top 10 with a recent five-game win streak.

Commentary

A very jumbled week in Squirts. East Side uses a narrow loss to Tonka last Saturday to fuel them to three big wins on home ice. The Greenwave jumps to #2 with wins over Moorhead and Woodbury Royal. Cottage Grove has nice win over Squirtacular runner-up Woodbury Black, they slide up a couple slots.
