At last after picking the 2022 Prep Hockey All Junior 1st-3rd teams, it’s now time to finish this series with Honorable Mentions. Most of these players could’ve easily been on the 2nd or 3rd teams, but the amount of depth in this class is impressive and made it challenging to pick these teams. As always, […]
The 2022 Prep Hockey All Junior 3rd Team brings another list of strong players who had outstanding junior seasons. To be honest, most of the players on this list could’ve easily been on the 2nd or even 1st All Junior list. I’m telling you, this class is one of the strongest and deepest we’ve seen […]
With the recent release of our 1st annual Prep Hockey All Junior 1st Team, it’s now time to release the 2nd team! Once again, we will be releasing a list with 3 forwards, 2 defenseman, and 1 goaltender. Just like the first team, this second team was hard to assemble as well because there are […]
In a very stacked junior class, we are pleased to present the 2022 Prep Hockey All Junior 1st Team. Players included on the list have not only had strong high school careers so far, we also expect all of them to have much success in juniors and college and possibly beyond. This was a very […]

Year after year, it seems like Section 8A contains one of the top teams in the state, regardless of class. That is true again this season as the (21-3-1) Warroad Warriors look to make a deep playoff run. Not surprisingly, Warroad carries the #1 seed, while Thief River Falls, Detroit Lakes, and East Grand Forks […]
The seedings for Section 7AA have been released and the top three teams are: Andover, Grand Rapids, and Blaine in that order. Quarterfinal action will get underway Wednesday and the semifinals will take place Saturday evening at Amsoil Arena in Duluth. Unlike other Class AA sections, 7AA lacks parody this season and it should be […]
The seedings for Section 6A have been released and Alexandria retains the top spot, with Fergus Falls and Northern Lakes at #2 and #3 in that order. I can’t picture any other teams making a run after #3 and it should be between the top 3 teams, especially the Cardinals and Otters. Nonetheless, whoever is […]
Section 5AA is another section that added depth due to the recent section realignments. The usual suspects, Maple Grove and Centennial, are poised to make a state tournament run once again. However, there is a new sheriff in town. That team is the Rogers Royals who captured the #1 seed in the section. The Royals […]
In the last two seasons, the Class A State Champion has came from Section 4A. Mahtomedi defeated Hermantown in overtime in 2020 to claim their first title and another first time winner in Gentry Academy won it all last season. With Gentry Academy moving up to Class AA, the Zephyrs will once again be the […]
With the addition of Cretin-Derham Hall this season, Section 3AA is going to be very interesting. Right now, the Raiders are locked in at the #1 spot in Class AA, but probably won’t be the #1 seed in the section. That is due to the fact that St. Thomas Academy won both meetings between the […]
We continue our “Top Players by Section” series here at Prep Hockey as we feature Section 2A! This section will be one of the more intriguing ones in Class A due to the amount of parody. I would say there are 4-5 teams that have a legitimate shot to make the tournament and there really […]

This high school hockey season has brought much parody in both classes. In Class A, Hermantown and Warroad are the clear top two teams and should be the favorites to meet each other in the title game. However, after these two teams, we having been seeing many new teams in the top 10 this season. […]
