Differences Between Minnesota High School Hockey and USA Hockey-Affiliated High School Hockey

Unlike, most US high school hockey programs, Minnesota high school hockey is not affiliated with USA Hockey. Minnesota high school hockey fosters the growth of well-rounded athletes and thrives on tradition, community support, and a state-focused system. USA Hockey-affiliated high school teams, on the other hand, prioritizes skill development. Minnesota high school hockey also benefits from a robust coaching infrastructure and development programs. Many high school coaches in the state have extensive experience and possess a deep understanding of the game. They are dedicated to nurturing young talent, focusing on skill development, tactical understanding, and character building. Furthermore, Minnesota offers various development programs and camps that further refine players' skills and expose them to a high level of coaching expertise.

2022 - 23 National High School Hockey Rankings

According to MYHockey Rankings, Minnetonka High School is the number one ranked high school hockey team in the United States. The site ranked 2,128 high school teams for the 2022-23 season and 16 of the top 20 high school hockey teams are from Minnesota.[5]

MaxPrepsalso also releases its high school ice hockey rankings. However, MaxPreps's rankings are notoriously bad due to the site's reliance on coach participation. If coaches from the country's top teams are not entering information such as game results, the teams' rankings are affected. This has led to several hundred teams with missing or incomplete game results leading to very inaccurate rankings.

Minnesota: the "State of Hockey"

Minnesota is known as the "State of Hockey" for the talent it has produced at all levels of hockey. The state ranks first in the nation in terms of number of players registered with USA Hockey with over 58,600.[7] This number does not include the roughly 6,500 high school hockey players who are not affiliated with USA Hockey. Minnesota has produced some of the best American hockey players and currently has the most active players in the National Hockey League (NHL),[8] Division I Men's College Hockey,[9] United States Hockey League (USHL),[10] and the American Hockey League (AHL).[11]

Minnesota State High School League History

2009 Boys AA Championship game between Eden Prairie and Moorhead at the Xcel Energy Center

High school hockey players throughout Minnesota participate in a maximum of 25 contests, excluding the section tournaments and the Minnesota State Boys' High School Hockey Tournament. Teams currently play three 17-minute periods to comprise a game. The lengthened periods were adopted by the Minnesota State High School League in 2003.

Boys hockey concludes their season with a four-day tournament in March that features sixteen teams competing for championships in both classes. From 1945 through 1991 the tournament consisted of a single class, eight-team tournament instead of the present-day two-class (AA and A) tournament. Private schools were not allowed to play in the Tournament until the 1974–75 season. In 1992–93, the tournament was composed of Tier I and II teams. This two-year experiment sent the top teams from each of the eight sections to the Tier I portion of the tournament and the remaining teams conducted a playoff to determine who would be included in the Tier II tournament. In 1994, the dual-class system was adopted and teams were placed into a class structure based on school enrollments.

Since 1994, the MSHSL's process to determine section assignments for boys' hockey is based on school enrollments and activity classifications. The basic premise is to place the largest 64 schools into Class AA and the remaining high schools in Class A. Both Classes are then divided into 8 sections each. Teams are placed into their section assignments with geographic location as a primary consideration. High schools initially placed in Class A have the option to play at the Class AA level.

Beginning with the 2007 state tournament, the top four teams in each class are seeded. Coaches of the participating schools vote to determine the seeded teams the Saturday before the state tournament. The four teams are then bracketed so that if the seeded teams advance, the top seed plays the fourth seed while the second and third seeds play each other. The quarterfinal opponents of the seeded teams are determined by a blind draw.
