The 2024 Minnesota girls state hockey tournament brackets
Many of the recognizable names are again in this week’s girls hockey state tournament — they just may not be on the seed lines where you’re accustomed to seeing them.
Warroad — the two-time defending Class A champion — for example, is the No. 4 seed after it needed three third-period goals to rally from a 2-0 hole in its section final victory over Crookston.
Over in Class 2A, perennial power Edina is also a No. 4 seed. Still, the top seed among the big schools is a familiar one. Minnetonka has the No. 1 spot as it looks to win state after falling to Gentry Academy in last year’s title game. The Stars did not threaten to reach this year’s tournament.
Hill-Murray is the No. 2 seed and the favorite to reach the final from the other side of the bracket after the Pioneers down Stillwater in the section final.
Holy Angels is the No. 1 seed in Class A after it edged South St. Paul in a thrilling section title game. There is no East Metro team in the Class A field this week.
The winner’s bracket for each tournament will be played at the Xcel Energy Center. The semifinals and finals for each class will be televised on KSTC Channel 45. Quarterfinals can be viewed online at https://nspn.tv/MSHSL.
The complete brackets for each class are listed below and can be found on the MSHSL site.
