posted in: All news | 0

It’s finally boys state hockey tournament week, made official by the release of the brackets in both classes Saturday.

Moorhead is a serious threat to repeat in Class 2A. The Spuds are the No. 2 seed in this week’s tournament.

There will be a new champion in Class A, as 2025 champ East Grand Forks didn’t advance past section play.

The winners’ brackets for both tournaments will be played at Grand Casino Arena. All winners’ bracket games for both classes will be televised on KSTC Ch. 45, and also can be viewed online for free at 45tv.com.
