Average Hockey Mind

I’ve been a fan of Jessi Pierce for the past few years and had mad respect for her dedication to the Wild and Minnesota hockey in general! I didn’t know her personally, but I’m in shock to hear about what happened! RIP to Jessi and her children! 🙏💚

@snapbacksports I signed up in 2009 and received my tix for the 2012 Tourney! My season ticket package is one of my most prized possessions !

12 YEAR WAIT for Season Tickets at the Minnesota State Hockey Tournament

Admittedly I had lost of the passion I’ve had for Minnesota High School Hockey, but this Tournament really rejuvenated things and I can’t wait for next season!!

@rk65mn It really was….most games were competitive and we got to see 2 epic championship games

Congratulations Morehead! What a great overall State high school hockey tournament

@YouthHockeyHub @TonkaSkippers Wild that they left off Moorhead’s-Will Howard! I always assumed the winning Goalie always had a spot reserved and he played lights out when needed!

BHS Class AA State Herb Brooks Award Brady Mullmann, Edina All-Tournament Team Cade Sherman (RSMT) Chase Bjorgaard (EDINA) Seth Carlson (GR) Chase Jerdee (MTKA) Danny Browning (MTKA) Cash Hardie (MTKA) Ethan Sturgis (MTKA) Mason Schemenauer (MTKA) Tate Hardacre (MTKA) Brandon Mickelson (MHD) Max Cullen (MHD) Tyden Bergeson (MHD)

With the talent they have coming back and a superstar Goalie in the making I really think Moorhead can 3-peat next year!

@Mariucci_Guy I was at that game and the Mtka/HM 2010 4 OT thriller!!! No joke 😊

We’ve reached the time of year where everyone claims they were at the 1996 Duluth East/Apple Valley 6OT game. The attendance must’ve been 70,000 or something. Some of you mfs are lying

After all those years coming up as a Bridesmaid, Moorhead with back to back titles! Good lord I absolutely love this tournament!!!!!!!! #TheTourney26

Moorhead!!!!!!!!

@RogerMpls Filling the OG PA announcer-Dick Sanborn’s shoes is no easy feat!

A sneaky underrated part of the HS tourney.

I feel like things might be a little different right now for the Spuds had that unnecessarily cheap penalty hadn’t been taken early on! #TheTourney26

@MNHockeyStar I was at every State tournament from 2012-2019…missed in 2020 due to breaking my ankle. I’m a season ticket holder, but have missed the last two due complications from a Dec/24 stroke. Hoping to get back in 2027

The Tourney is obviously about the players.. need to hear from the fans though. What’s your State Tournament Streak? I’ll start. I’ve haven’t missed a Tourney since 1993… I’ve been to every Thursday 93-26. Most Fridays. Let’s see how much more of an OG you are than me…

Warroad are your champs!!! 💪💪🥅🏒

Hard to believe that Warroad’s Kennedy is actually their backup Goalie! #TheTourney26

Warroad’s Kennedy played lights out that 1st period! Warroad leads 1-0 after 1 despite being massively outshot! #TheTourney26

Northern communities are 2nd to none when it comes to traveling down to St. Paul to support their favorite teams! #TheTourney26

I’m absolutely loving both Championship matchups tomorrow! Warroad vs Hibbing! Moorhead vs Minnetonka ! #TheTourney26

Complete classless move by Edina player right before the buzzer! #TheTourney26

20,365. That’s how many people are in the building to watch a high school hockey game tonight. Because it’s #TheTourney26

@ChrisLongKSTP Absolutely loving it! I’m about the same average at this point!

Also… the State Tourney trivia questions our truck has been dealing out all tourney long on 45TV have been amazing! I think I’m batting about .500.
