The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

This past weekend: the Minnesota state boys high school hockey tournament and the first round of the WCHA playoffs.

Congrats to the Centennial Cougars, who won their first Class AA title by downing Moorhead 1-0 in the championship game, and not allowing a single goal against in three games. And to the Breck Mustangs who claimed the Class A crown.

Meanwhile the Golden Gophers, led by Troy Riddle's nine point weekend and four goals from Ryan Potulny (those Grand Forks boys can play), easily swept aside the St. Cloud State Huskies. No offense to King and Co at the Scholars, but my favorite sign spotted in the Gopher's student section read: 'You Can't Spell Sucks Without SCSU'.

Next weekend: The WCHA Final Five at the Xcel Energy Center. It is a great time of year in the state of hockey.
