Thursday's Dump & Chase: The Tourney
Yesterday the best event in American hockey began. It continues through the week.
The Minnesota High School Boys State Hockey Tournament began yesterday. Known from the plethora of NHL'ers that have played in it, the drop-dead gorgeous hockey hair it produces, and the incredibly high quality of high school hockey played, it is a must-see event. In fact, top-10 projected draft pick Casey Mittelstadt plays for Eden Prarie. That's right, this tournament is so good that top-10 picks can come straight from these high school teams. Every American hockey fan has two pilgrimages to make within their lifetime: one to Lake Placid, and one to what Minnesotans call "The Tourney."
And the best part? Edina didn't make it this year. The cake eaters are staying home.

Misleading title. One organizer doesn't like it, one is indifferent, one loves it. Personally, I think it's harmless and fun. Why wouldn't you want more attention on your state tournament?
