Grew up playing AAA in New England, but Minnesota is on another level. Wish we had a fanbase as wild as them lol
I played AA in Ontario and hockey is a huge deal but high school sports just aren’t really a big deal at all
Wild indeed (pun intended)
Minnesota here!
Love being from Edina it’s awesome
You ve never played hockey have you? Mass has some of the best hockey period. And no Minnesota is not on another level.
You know Peter got a post game blowy
Bahahaha
As a minnesota hockey player, the state tourney really speaks levels as to how important high school hockey is to the state
These are high schoolers? Jeez they look like pros out there it’s insane
Blur Ice FoRtNiTe
Minnesota takes hockey seriously. I mean these are only AA guys. Imagine the AAA team...
@@mohammadshahin4922 there is no AAA lol
Jalen Henkel actually? I’m from Illinois we have triple A. I assumed
@@mohammadshahin4922 yeah MN goes by a different tier system for HS that's A and AA and it's based of population of the school more than skill level. But, AA is the top level for HS
My high school games had, at most, 13 people in the stands😂😂💀
Grew up playing hockey in Souther Cali. Still play, but man... wish I was able to play high school hockey in Minnesota.
Favorite hockey tournament to watch. I don’t even live near Minny.
At 3:11 I knew exactly what team I was pulling for.
Awesome hockey though. It must be incredible to play in these games.

The two biggest cake-eater high schools in Minnesota.
Thank you! But I’d say a school like Hill-Murray or another private takes that cake. There’s that old saying, “that time of year when the North hates the Metro and the Metro hates Private schools and Everyone hates Edina”
Ever seen Fargo? The Mike Yanagita scene?
@@jermainewashington7447 A million times my friend. According to Mike, he lived with Linda Cooksey out in Edina before she succumbed to Leukemia.
@@archibaldelkin6541 yeah but that's Eden Prairie's school district 😂😂😂
@@jermainewashington7447 Now I have to watch this scene. Ya married? Ya got kids?
My high school played on the back rink after the pee wee practice on Friday nights in front of an attendance of 15
Buddy took a huge spill there at 4:10 😂
He's the manager (waterboy)... anyway, I bet he plays/ed hockey with how well he popped back up after the spill....
I am from Alabama and I wish we had hockey. This crowd looks crazy
Do they have hockey in AL
@@gregpettis1113 not high school but we do have one D1 program
@@elijahwright8745 I'm sure with all the great athletes in Alabama you could have some great hockey teams. The only disadvantage is the weather. In Minnesota we could play anywhere there was water in the winter time
Can’t believe this is high school hockey! Wow Humbling
Lived in Twin Cities for 3 years. Already a huge hockey fan. The HS tourney is beyond epic. Where else do 16-18 yr olds fill an NHL stadium to SRO for a game? Miss it.
Where were you from originally
That’s how we do it in the State of Hockey! 18k+ loud and proud
Yes sir
I was a team captain for 2 straight Georgia AA state championships and undefeated seasons. The tourneys were in local rinks that looked as full as a Minnesota learn to skate. Oof
I didn't know they had hockey in Georgia high school
OMG...2A in Minnesota is AAA everywhere else. These kids are phenomenal!!
Would love to see the medal presentation that happened after -- every player shook hands and said "thank you" in a manner that was all class. Very proud to be a Hornet, Curt Giles has done a great job with the hockey program and it's a great school, and great place to grow up. Hate us all you want. We can take it.
Best high school hockey in the nation! 😎
This straight up looks like an NHL game...
#9 is an absolute beauty
Wonder how #22 on eden prairie is feeling. Terrible play on GW goal.
Yeah, why just flip it to another man? He had time and space.
@@thefarmlifeinhd he also should have picked up the trailer or broken up the pass. Just kinda glided around
mike hanzal Give the kid a break. Eden Prairie had played 3 games in 3 days and 2 of them were OT games.. The first game went into triple OT - one of the longest in Minnesota history. The first game of the tournament went so long that they were going to suspend the game until the next morning at 8 am, so the winner would have had to play another game later in the day. Eden Prairie played the equivalent of 4 games in 3 days. I’m sure the whole team was pretty exhausted and you could see it on the GW goal. Everybody was just kind of standing around. Eden Prairie outplayed and completely shut down Edina for the entire game aside from about 5 minutes and deserved to win.
@@UA-cam.Algorithmic.Nonsense lol are you ok? They all played 3 games in 3 days. Excuses are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink. This is a terrible take.
Yeah I feel for the kid. Unnecessary pass with bouncing puck and then not picking up the late guy had to hurt. Hopefully he uses this as motivation to keep working hard. If you play the game these things happen.
I played HS hockey in Michigan in the late 70’s. Hockey was blowing up. We made it to the state championship and had maybe 3500 people in the stands. The level of play was very high. Today? They play in front of under 1000 at some lame rink in Plymouth. It’s sad. Minnesota teams play most of their season on lame rinks with no fans, but the state tournament makes up for that. They also let Junior and travel players play both HS and travel at the same time, which Michigan doesn’t. That’s why MN teams have more depth.
Sucks to be the kid who turned it over in OT
He had all day. Terrible puck management
I know very little about hockey but I immediately knew he fucked up
William Pomeroy then why don’t you fuck off? Nobody cares dude. Leave if you don’t understand the fucking sport.
Penguin Derby or here’s an idea, welcome him to the amazing sport of hockey or just grit your teeth and go about your day
@@PoisondBacon wow a hockey expert here. Except u just didnt grow up
AA=Big schools(usually)
A= Smaller, and private schools
I’m in mourning already for not being there this year. First tourney not attending in 20 years due to covid 💔😭
Minnesota HS hockey is something else. Wish we had that here in Michigan. Not even close to this level.
Its not close but I'll say its better than most places.
Michigan today has only 4 of 5 teams that can play to this level. Every year the number of schools that drop hockey increases. It’s sad. I played in Flint in the late 70’s. We had 26 HS hockey teams in the county. Today? 2 are left.
@@acerothstein4755 Isn't club hockey much bigger in Michigan though? Yeah, not having tons of grassroots level support sucks when the school system isn't involved but the talent level is still really high at the club level which matters most I'd say. It's the same thing here in Canada. Midget AAA Major clubs here might only get a few hundred fans a game but there will be like 7-8 CHL draft picks on the ice and the quality is high. Tradeoffs.
It’s amazing how big the MSHSL’s boys state hockey tournament is- 18,000 people in one arena for a high school tournament game? That’s unheard of in most other parts of the country.
Meanwhile, the WIAA’s boys state hockey tournament in Wisconsin is so laughable. It’s played at a USHL arena that barely holds 3,000 people.
Damn I wish I lived in Minnesota 😭
Edit: as of this edit on july 14, 2020 (original comment was made around February or March of 2020), some shit has happened with the libs over there and Minnesota isn't looking too good rn
No you dont
Minnesota is my state
Not in the winter it’s soooo cold
@@hendricksonrunner5015 well yeah, when it comes to politics and in light of recent events ur state seems kinda shit ngl, at least minneapolis and it's surrounding areas
@@lerlandson4244 isn't that the best part?
slick moves in this one
These guys play like how I play Chel
oh man 22 red screwed up twice at the end there, the giveaway and leaving that guy wide open.
1:23
kids on the ground getting up slowly
Teammate gets the puck
Ooo I’m fine
My fans than a coyotes game
Wow i had heard about it but i never really thought true high school hockey existed. I guess only around the midwest united states its part of the Culture there.
Minnesota is in the Midwest...
As a goalie, I feel like nerves got to the goalie in overtime, mainly just how he held his rvh to long
I wonder if Mike Yanagita ever patched things up with Linda? It's possible that one of their kids played in this game.
I know Minnesota is easily the best high school hockey state, but you should see some teams from New Hampshire. You’d be surprised how good they are
I'm from NH, which ones come to mind? For me its Concord Bedford BG Salem hanover. and trinity has looked up and coming over the years
Dan Smolenski mainly I think of Bedford, Concord. I go to Saint Thomas and we have a really good program and Dover often does
State of hockey
Nothing compares to minnesota hs hockey
Anybody here know any good play by play guys in a Minnesota? (Non-professional) we need someone to cover some HS games we plan to shoot.
Solid karma for Shultz there.
AA? Please don't tell me there is a AAA because these kids look pretty damn good.
No in Minnesota it’s different. We have single A and then AA but it’s probably as good as any other place.
@@henrymuehlhausen1954 Okay cool. So AA is the top level highscool players?
@@gdprice79 Not technically. A and AA only indicates the school’s size. Some A teams like Hermantown and Mahtomedi can destroy most AA teams. But aside from that, AA teams are better cuz they get more kids to pick = more talents and they have more depths. And both classes are insanely good at developing d1 players. Even NHLer sometimes as there were 7 kids from this league drafted in 2020.
A and AA is for the school size. AA is usually bigger schools
Does anyone know if the best class AA varsity team in Minnesota could beat a AAA midget team from Michigan for example honeybaked
Yeah they would get whooped MN teams are just too good
Man I was trippin when I saw this. I thought this was something I had said. cuz I asked a question like this.
Does anyone know if this hockey is more skilled than new england prep hockey?
yes, although some of the best go to Shattuck which doesn't compete in MN as a prep team.
how does aa level have that much fans holymoly
It's been this way for decades the State Tourney is a big tradition in Minnesota.
Edina Hornets fight fight fight...
holy yerda
22 on eden is getting benched for the next year
I was here
After only a couple of years playing aa travel in my state which was better then some of the aaa teams not talking out my ass but yk I’m not joking thinking we were good hockey players watching Minnesota highschool hockey just makes me embarrassed haha they’re just on another level I’ll never be able to understand
Minnesota eh? Hey Toby!! I hear yer a real bruiser! Why dōncha come down to the pond after work and knock a few back and play some puck,eh?😂
We don't really even talk like that unless you live in Hibbing or somewhere far from the Twin Cities metro area, chill with all that.
The skill level is better or just as good as the pro level back in the mid 80s
Eden prairies good at everything wtf
True
Especially football
And basketball! They just beat minehaha who have two future nba players/potential stars
All sports are about money. One of the richest areas to live in. Edina or
Skyler Rivers It’s about the numbers and athletes. If it was just about money schools like Edina, Minnetonka, and Woodbury would dominate every sport. They don’t.
All sports have become about money. Even High School
Why so many watching AA championships?
I’m pretty sure this is the top tier for Minnesota State hockey
Matthew Howell It says AA tho?
Yeah Minnesota only has one AAA team and high school AA is the top tier basically
Minnesota High School Hockey League is not affiliated with USA hockey. They don’t have the same tier system.
funny thing is these teams would whoop all other top teams in all the other states. minnesota hockey is different
The greatest sports event in the history of sports...and they are in high school! WTF
looks like an nhl game lmao
owentheking 5 cuz its in the nhl rink
I’ve never seen High School level hockey with a fan base like that in Canada. Wow.
We have Junior Major Hockey that’s important but they don’t draw like this.
I live in Minnesota
Ohh 22 not all you.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s the agony of sports. Don’t sweat it, kid…you’ll have more stories and emotion to share with your teammates for 50 years than the champions. That’s how it works.
lol. I just responded to my comment. Losing it
Eden prairie vs cake eaters
I mean they're both cake eaters lol.
That was a really bad giveaway on the OT winner
Daddy's money Edina.
Eden Prairie is just as wealthy if not more wealthy.
2000 Subscribers With No Video mmmmmm Edina LOVES cake mmmmmm
Jealous much..............?????
GARY GREGORSON
The goalies at this level just aren’t good enough to play the sit on your knees pro style.
3:55
How is there so many people there, there is so much better hockey to watch
Matthew Milic best highschool hockey you’ll ever see. it’s a dream to make it to where they are
Have you ever heard of Casey Middlestat
Hitler's Nootsack Yeah dudes a bust lmao
Peter Griffin bruv everyone would not have gained confidence to play on the highest level with the SABRES. give him some time
Classic Quads that’s until you walk into Canada any Canadian team would toy e these boys my team last year had 10 D1 recruits along w a ton of whl boys
Mittelstadt has been a bust for the Sabres
Thats not Casey. Its his brothers
He's has the most points rn lol and that's his brother 😂 "bust" lmao
How is AA that good😂? I play midget A and it's not even close
This is Minnesota highest level of high school hockey. For youth there’s only AA, besides shattuck and spring
EP screws the pooch AGAIN.... Ahahahahahahahahahahahaaa
Texas Football > Minnesota hockey.
Keep the talent coming boys... Stay USA
No one likes EDINA Edit: Trust Fund Babies
Pico Johnson Ikola was recently passed on the all time list by Mount Saint Charles (Rhode Island) Coach Bill Belisle. Both are absolute legends
Name a high school hockey team that doesn’t need Daddy’s Money.
These are 2 huge money schools competing!
Pico Johnson the hockey hall of fame is in toronto
Jealous much, wee man...............???
god that kane celly was cringe
nah it was cold af
Cake eaters win again.
Booooooooo
Canadian teams would kill em
Ethan Larsen eh
@@benh3011wouldn't even be a game these kids are terrible
These are highschool. So its have to be Canadian high school too. Or if ya want AAA, mn has SSM
G 333 and Canada has Elgin, Magog,RINK, and the young Nats
Looks like some jr b shit
yeah except these teams are stacked with NCAA D1 players and soon to be USHL players... and a couple NHL draft picks... also Jr B rosters are stacked to the gills with 18-20 year olds, these kids are average age of 16.5 or so.
American High School hockey players are actually terrible compared to Albertan AA hockey.
ehhh, not really, it's just the depth of the teams... i suggest you watch some minnesota high school selects games, mostly made up of players who will play Division 1 NCAA / Major Junior or at worst Junior A AJHL/BCHL
