Everyone plays a different game when their not on their home ice. When its going to be on neutral ice, I think Willy has it.

I should have worded my previous post way different. What i was trying to say is Williston's play on home ice isn't as good as when they go and play out of town. I meant Williston's was a greater decrease in play and overall team effort compared to opposing teams on the road. I know when i watched the Williston @ Minot game i saw Minot not only playing better, but working much harder. I see Minot taking the 2 seed over Williston. Don't get me wrong, Williston is VERY capable of getting the 2 seed and maybe even the 1 seed. But i'm still going with Minot, the slight underdog.

1 BHS vs 8 dickinson or 8 jamestown

2 willy vs 7 bott

3 minot vs 6 hazen

4 century vs 5 mandan

If you haven't noticed, I began a thread for the WDA and EDC tournaments and pinned them in the main Hockey forum, at viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6541. The two threads will stay pinned until State. The thread will include updates as well as game times as soon as I know of them.
