The biggest win to date is a 3-2 win over Hill-Murray on 12-29-2022. Leading the Rebels is senior Jordan Ronn with 30 points through 11 games, Evan Williams has 22 points and Trevor Aberwald has 17. Goalie Coen Neu is 6-1-0 and has a .906 save %.
Centennial is off to a great start as well with a 6-3-1 record so far. They tied perhaps the best team in the state (Hermantown) on 12-10-2022. Hermantown scored with 8 seconds left in the game to force overtime but it would end a 3-3 tie. Shots were 42-20 Hawks in this one. They have a win over Stillwater 5-2 on 11-25-2022 and also beat Roseau 6-5 on 12-16-2022. Centennial is led by the talented junior Harper Searles, (a top prospect game alum) He has 25 points in 10 games and team-mate Peyton Blair is close behind with 21 points. It looks like they will rely on junior goalie Gavin Schahn to stop the high scoring Champlin Park squad. Gavin is 4-3-1 on the season with a .883 save percentage.
