Congratulations to Greenway, 2019 Class A Minnesota State Boys Hockey Tournament Runner-ups.That was one incredible run and a great season. You boys never quit and you fought hard until the very end. The Boys from IRC gave us the chance to believe once again!
Hey
@GovTimWalz
! Please rethink your decision on pausing high school and youth sports! Enough harm has been done already. Depression and suicides are through the roof and is something that needs to be talked about a lot more. Unfortunately it isn’t. Let the Kids Play!
Derek White gave back to the hockey program that he played for. He helped coach the I. Falls PeeWee A Hockey Team. His wishes were to donate his organs. His life will live on through those recipients. Derek is a hero, Rip young man.
Thank you
@CeduliesPhotos
for the picture.
Alexandria pulls off the upset of the decade. Knocking off the Hermantown Hawks 6-1. That ends an 8 year consecutive streak of the Hawks making it to the State Class 1A Final. What a huge victory for the Cardinals!! Hats off to the Hermantown Hawks on their incredible run!
Two years ago as boys Orono won the Bantam A State Championship and Minnetonka won the Bantam AA State Championship. Now in the same year, most of these same players as young men skated to State Titles in St. Paul yesterday!
Our deepest sympathies go out to the Grand Rapids Hockey Community after the passing of Marshall Bader. Marshall was a squirt in the Grand Rapids Youth Hockey Program. Thoughts and prayers go out to the Bader family and everyone who knew Marshall. Rest In Peace 5.
Today we remember the horrific tragedy of the Humboldt Team Bus crash that happened in Canada a year ago today. We remember those who lost their lives and those who continue to recover from the accident. 💚💛💚💛

Below is a thank you for all the support we’ve received in our inaugural season of live streaming on Up North Hockey as we conclude our coverage for the 2019-2020 regular season. We truly appreciate it!
We are saddened to hear of the passing of 2013 International Falls Bronco Alum Derek White. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends, during this time of terrible tragedy. Rip Derek
Another High School Hockey Season has ended. It was a very fun year for our staff at Up North Hockey. Thank you to all of the hockey players that created that excitement for us to follow. We are looking into some new additions for next year....stay tuned! See you at the Rink!
On January 19th, 2020, the Grand Rapids Youth Hockey Association lost a beautiful soul, Marshall Bader. Marshall was on the Squirt A team at GRAHA. Today we honor the memory of Marshall and keep his family and friends in our thoughts and prayers

goes to Junior Goaltender Andrew Tuttle of the Roseau Rams. Andrew stopped 33 of the 34 shots he faced and made some huge saves in a 3-1 victory for Roseau over Warroad. Congrats Andrew!
The ice has returned at the Historic Hippodrome in Eveleth. The Hippodrome is home to the Eveleth-Gilbert/Mesabi East Girls and Boys High School teams as well as the youth teams. The arena is in its 96th year of operations.
Is this some kind of joke? The event is being held in Mankato, yet, not one Mankato High School team is being featured on Bally Sports? The Mankato Teams don’t even get to play on the actual “Hockey Day”. Shame on
@BallySportsNOR
for ruining this great Minnesota Tradition….

Cullen Hiltner.
Hiltner had two goals and an assist in the 4-1 win over Alexandria. Congrats & good luck at State!
@CHSPuckSquad
Preseason Class A Rankings!
Usual suspects in the top 4 with the Crusaders leading the way. Warroad is higher than in years past, while the State Runner Up’s in Greenway lock in at 6. With Tartan moving down to Class A, they could be a threat in Section 4A.

#FlashbackFriday
Was a lot of fun attending the Grand Rapids Quarterfinal Game last night at the IRA. Best fans in the State PERIOD. Packed rink with the band rocking the house, doesn’t get much better than that
No one will ever forget the Minnesota North Stars playoff run to the Stanley Cup Finals in 1991. Neal Broten from Roseau Minnesota was a key player on that amazing run! I will never forget Dick Stanford’s voice when he announced Broten’s name.

When WCCO covered the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament. One of the play by play announcers was Chris Cuthbert! His last game he called was the 1991 final, the last one class tournament! Chris is one of the best in the business!
