Schedule is set. Looking forward to heckling UST in person.

A Southern Minnesota Celebrity Game? Kinda going to be curious what those rosters look like...
Looks like a decent line-up all-in-all. I would have shifted the schedule around a bit though, move the Mankatos in the Prior Lake/EGF spot, or at least give them the night game on Friday.
No matter, I might have to make a weekend out of it.

I was hoping they would have incorporated the Mankato high schools on Saturday. Maybe they don't have the big name draws but it would be nice to showcase the teams and talent outside the Twin Cities area.

Exactly, I forget which one but doesn't one of them routinely make it to state?
I probably mentioned it in the thread, but they met in the section finals in 2019. They played in Rochester, and it was pretty much a sell-out from what I remember.

My guess is that E v. W got the Saturday snub because they added in the Mav women's game at the end. The format does change year to year, but I believe that's a first. Certainly nothing wrong with showcasing the women though, I don't mean to imply that.
EGF and Prior Lake seem like a weird matchup to me. When I went, the big game was STA and Hill-Murray - which was a HUGE matchup at the time. This seems random by comparison to some of their other showcase high school games. Granted, I haven't followed HS hockey too closely in a few years - but still. I could think of 10 AA teams that would be a better draw.
Anyway, yeah - I agree. The town I grew up in, the folks would get a little heated every time something happened athletically and the news wouldn't cover it. I gave up trying to explain why.

Has anyone heard if the Mavs/UST game will be held at the outdoor rink or at the arena? I hope it's outside, but I get it if they choose to hold it at the arena.
My plan is to make a weekend out of this if I'm still living within driving distance in January. Heck, I may still go even if I'm not.
