Well it is all over the boys high school hockey tournament came to an end Saturday. The crowds were huge once again. Most nights they were sold out, or very close to that.
The area teams did well. One team got much farther than anyone expected, well one came short of there goal. A third team takes third place.
Grand Rapids was not suppose to win there first round game at the excel center. They did, not only did they win that they also won there semi final game. They then went to the championship game. They did not play a very good game but they also were not suppose to be there. They took second place at the tournament.
Duluth Marshall was picked by many to win the whole tournament. They went on to easy wins in there games uptill the there final game. They lead 3-1 after two periods and it looked like they would win as they were dominating play.
The third period started and Marshalls plan was very clear. They for some reason got away from there game plan and just started to dump the puck every chance they got. The St. Thomas team came out and played hard and dominated the last period of play.
They scored three goals and won the game 4-3.
Hermantown played very well at the tournament as well. They played hard and took third place in the tournament.
Way to go all area teams you did your community's proud.
