We're sorry, but we couldn’t find any events. Try updating your location and date range, or use more general keywords.

The process for getting tickets is okay. But having to wait until only a few hours before is not. Treat all classes and sessions the same. The bag policy is terrible. Stay consistent with the venue. Having a bag only 4x6 is smaller than if you would go to the Wild game which doesn’t make sense. The concession staff were great, the ushers were helpful and polite, so inside the venue and that experience was good. Overall a good experience.
This was an incredible 6-5 double OT thriller! The crowd was one of the best Class A crowds I've ever seen! A lot of people fixate on Class AA (and for good reason) but many D1 and future NHLers, including this year's Mr. Hockey winner came from Class A (Jason Shaugubay).
The hockey was fantastic again as always! This year for the first time the X played great music in between whistles. It really kept the rink jazzed up during stoppages. Sure beat the same piped in commercials over and over that you couldn’t get out of your head for a week. Keep the music!!!
Every sports fan in Minnesota needs to go to the state high school hockey tournament at least once. It is an electric atmosphere to be a part of, and there is some real talent amongst these kids. Its heartwarming to see the Single A crowds, where apparently half the town comes down to the city to support their boys. And the AA games are fierce - these schools have a lot of competitive kids who know how to play the game and put on a show. And there are no better rivalries than metro area schools hockey teams!
Greatest event in sports. I would give up the Super Bowl, Stanley Cup Finals, NCAA bb March madness, and every other sporting event before I would give up the State High School Hockey Tournament.
I love coming to this event. This is by far the best showing of high school sports.
This is my all time favorite sporting event. If you like hockey or local youth sports, this is the gold standard. No other high school level event can match the production quality and entertainment value. In Minnesota, every young hockey player dreams of playing in "The Tourney", and when they finally make it they play their hearts out. Every game is like Stanley Cup game 7.
Loved the coverage and interviews and overall feel of the games. Getting tickets to games proved to be a huge barrier. You would have to rush to sit for tickets that you had to wait hours or days for the tickets to open. One game we couldn’t get tickets for at all. Overall loved the games and the experience.
The tournament was fantastic as was the Xcel energy center
