Schwan's Cup - Gold

Winner: Eden Prairie > Edina

Darkhorse: Wayzata

Schwan's Cup - Silver

Winner: Breck > Mahtomedi

Darkhorse: Eastview

A huge cluster of great games this week in high school hockey - the Schwan Cup will set up some great games at all four levels. Princeton and Minnehaha at the Open level is a game to see. Anoka and Blake have a great show down in the Bronze division - we like the Tornadoes to win it. In the Silver division we like Breck to win it - some really good first round games including Eastview and Mahtomedi...the winner of that game will face the Mustangs. The Gold division has some juicy first round games including Edina and St. Thomas Academy and Hill Murray and Wayzata. No. 2AA Eden Prairie is our favorite to take the gold, but several top teams will challenge.

Schwan's Cup - Bronze

Winner: Anoka > Hopkins

Darkhorse: Orono

Schwan's Cup - Open

Winner: Greenway > Minneapolis

Darkhorse: Princeton

YHH will get their first look at Greenway in the Schwan Cup - the Raiders have Kole Kalisch, Tayler Lantz and Grant Troumbly. They will get tested by Spring Lake Park in the first round. Which Panther team will show up, the one that beat Rochester JM or the one that lost to Irondale?

A: Edina Invitational

Winner: Mounds View Irondale > Edina

Darkhorse: Coon Rapids

PWB: PeeWee Showdown (Bloomington)

Winner: Hastings > Jefferson

Darkhorse: Minneapolis (Purple)

PWB: Edina Invitational

Winner: Edina (White) > OMG (Black)

Darkhorse: Park Cottage Grove

Some great games at the PWA and PWB levels this week. No. 7A Edina and No. 3A Mounds View Irondale have played once already this year with the Hornets coming out on top. We like MVI to spoil the party at Braemar. The PeeWee B tournaments are going to be great - Hastings is the favorite in Bloomington, they need to be careful with Jefferson and Minneapolis. The Edina Invite is a small field - but it is loaded with four YHH staff ranked teams (Edina White/Green, Park Cottage Grove and their friends Osseo Maple Grove). This is a toss-up...leaning toward Edina (White).
