The two teams are on opposite sides of the Class 1A bracket. They're the only rural Northern Minnesota teams in the tournament.

Two rural Northern Minnesota teams will represent the Northland at the Minnesota State High School League girls hockey state tournament this week.

Warroad beat Crookston 4-2 in the Section 8A championship. Despite being the Star Tribune's top-ranked Class 1A team — and being the three-time defending champs — the Warriors are the No. 3 seed in the state tourney. They'll play No. 6 Marshall at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 19, at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.

If they win the tournament, Warroad would be the first girls hockey team with a four-peat.

On the opposite side of the 1A bracket is No. 5 Proctor/Hermantown. They beat Rock Ridge 6-1 in the Section 7A championship.

Proctor/Hermantown will face No. 4 Academy of Holy Angels in the final quarterfinal match at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Tournament tickets can be purchased at mshsl.org/tickets. The semifinal and championship games will be streamed at prep45.com.

NSPN.tv will offer complimentary streaming of the quarterfinals. The consolation and third-place games will be available with a subscription.
