Edina > Park Cottage Grove (6-2)...Marc Lund with a Hatty

Osseo Maple Grove > Lakeville South (8-3)...Faber, Janicke, and Kukkonen with 2 Goals each.

Eden Prairie > Chaska Chan (6-2)...Carter Batchelder and Drew Holt 2 Goals each.

Apple Valley > St. Cloud (6-4)...Jared Wright with Hatty, Jack Novak with 2G/2A

Commentary: We are 4/4 today on our picks for the Final Four. Saturday night should be a fun night of hockey. Edina and OMG still look to be the favorites, but Apple Valley and Eden Prairie have played very well so far...anything could happen.

Osseo Maple Grove > Apple Valley (6-0)...Leafbirds lead by six separate goal scorers, including one by Cade Wessman that left the fans in Moorhead speechless. OMG was too much for the Eagles who hung tough for the full 45 minutes. 

Edina > Eden Prairie (4-2)...Nate Stone had a goal and an assist for the Hornets as they advanced to the title game for the third year in a row. Jackson Borst was the hero for Edina shelfing a shot past EP goalie Cooper Czech with 9:03 left in the game. 

Commentary: we are sticking with our original pick that Osseo Maple Grove will repeat as Pumpking champs Sunday. Edina will challenge them Sunday, just like last year in the final.
