TOURNAMENT TIDBITS
• Monticello/Annandale/Maple Lake is one of several Class 2A-size cooperative programs that have successfully petitioned to play down in Class 1A. The three schools in the co-op have a combined enrollment of 1,909. The Class 1A cutoff is 1,198. Monticello was a Class 1A program before it was bumped up to Class 2A in 2002. In the ensuing 14-year stretch of big-school hockey, it never advanced past the Section 8 quarterfinals. The Moose lost those quarterfinal games by a combined score of 140-7.
• "Pray for Cade, Play for Cade" has been the season-long rallying cry for St. Cloud Cathedral. Student manager Cade Anderson, was diagnosed with cancer last fall. "At the beginning of the year they found a lump under his arm," Brown said. "He's been battling." Brown said Anderson, a sophomore, drew the biggest cheers when championship medals were being awarded to the Crusaders after they defeated Alexandria 3-2 in the Section 6 final. "Even Alexandria, as disappointed as their players were, gave him a stick tap," Brown said. Anderson's brother, James, is a Crusaders junior forward.
