New-look state tournaments envisioned for Minnesota high school hockey, basketball

A plan discussed by Minnesota State High School League leaders would hold hockey championships on April 3 and basketball finals on April 9-10.

Familiar but not the same, Minnesota high school winter sports state tournaments are taking shape, bringing hope to those seeking glory and those starved for a bit of normalcy as well.

Among the plans coming into view Tuesday during a Minnesota State High School League virtual meeting of its executive board members: Two-week state tournaments for boys' and girls' basketball and girls' hockey. Quarterfinal basketball games played in high school gyms. Crowning four hockey champions - boys and girls - on one day, and eight basketball champions on back-to-back days.

Details also were discussed for other winter sports tournaments, with all of the plans hinging on navigating through the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Regular season games began just last week.
