Titans of the north set for Class A clash, while Class 2A schools in unfamiliar territory

ST. PAUL — When Hermantown and Warroad played nearly two months ago, the Hawks needed overtime to separate the state's top two-ranked Class A teams.

Gavin Blomdahl fired a shot to give Hermantown a 2-1 win on home ice , but more will be at stake Saturday when the teams battle at The Xcel Energy Center for a title.

In the semifinals Friday, Hermantown (28-2) used a smothering defense and three power play goals for a dominating 7-1 win over Alexandria. A day earlier, the Hawks won 5-1 over New Prague.

The only losses this season for Hermantown came against Cretin-Derham Hall, which had been the top-ranked Class 2A team entering the state tournament, and Maple Grove, which will be playing for the Class 2A title.

Warroad cruised in the quarterfinals with a 7-1 win against Monticello. On Friday, the Warriors needed an overtime goal from Matthew Hard to advance 5-4 against Mahtomedi. Daimon Gardner notched a hat trick, giving him 45 goals this season for Warroad.

The only blemishes on the resume for Warroad (26-3-1) came within a two-week stretch in January: the Hermantown loss Jan. 15, along with losses to Wayzata and Roseau and a tie with Moorhead.

The puck drops at noon Saturday. Hermantown has won the state title three times (2007, 2016 and 2017) while Warroad has four titles (1994, 1996, 2003 and 2005).

Two teams with no previous title game appearances are set to square off for the chance to hang a banner.

Maple Grove (23-6-1) found plenty of offense to win a state quarterfinal game for the first time, and followed it up with a convincing 6-2 win in Friday's semifinal.

Now the Crimson hockey team will be playing for a championship banner for the first time in school history. Joshua Giuliani scored two goals in a 5-2 quarterfinal win over Edina and followed up with a hat trick in the semifinal against Prior Lake.

The Crimson played physical, and limited Prior Lake's high-scoring Alex Bump to one goal.

Andover (24-5-1) upset top-seed Hill-Murray in a 4-2 win to help the Huskies match the firsts of its title opponent.

Gavyn Thoreson scored the first and last goals, and added an assist, to send the Huskies to the championship. In the quarterfinals, Thoreson chipped in an overtime winner to lift Andover to a 2-1 win over Moorhead.

While both teams might be new to the title game, Maple Grove and Andover split their regular-season matchups: Andover won 5-3 on Dec. 16 while Maple Grove won Andover 4-1 on Feb. 12.
