Girls High School State Tournament at Xcel Energy Center

What an awesome experience for Presley to participate in the high school state hockey tournament as an 8th grader. The fun weekend started with a banquet with the final eight teams represented. It was awesome to see these sporty girls all dressed up and we were so proud to see Presley being honored along with her teammates.



While the girls' tournament does not get the same attendance as the boys tournament, they still get the honor of playing in Xcel Energy Center (where the Wild play). The JV team made signs for each of the players (Presley #39 has the nickname of Bulldog). The girls also got to each skate and have their name called out on the Jumbotron and on the TV before Friday's game. Presley said "Hey Canyon", which we captured on video on the home TV. The team won their first game and ended up taking 4th place overall. And we were happily surprised to see Presley get some nice playing time in the last game against Eagan and almost scored a goal. Fun weekend and great experience for all the girls!
