Hockey Hockey Hockey at Xcel Energy Center

It’s not just the Minnesota Wild skating on the Xcel Energy Center ice in the month of March. The Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament takes over March 11 – March 14. Minnesota is known for having the most widely attended high school tournament in the nation! Often times the championship game sells-out. Local broker, Ticket King, has even been on the news due to the demand of over face value priced high school tickets. It’s not cheap if you love High School hockey and you aren’t a student at one of the participating schools, but you are guaranteed a great hockey experience.

Also skating on the Xcel Energy Center ice will be the best of college hockey during the WCHA Final Five Tournament on March 19 – March 21. The Gophers hockey team will need to beat St Cloud State this weekend in the first round of WCHA playoffs at Mariucci Arena in order to take the Xcel Energy Center ice this year. Let’s hope they can do it!

Other hockey games in March:
Minnesota Wild vs. Colorado Avalanche Tuesday 3/17/2009 7PM
(St Patrick’s Day)

Minnesota Wild vs. Edmonton Oilers Sunday 3/22/2009 2PM

Minnesota Wild vs. Vancouver Canucks Tuesday 3/31/2009 7PM

Xcel Energy Center Ice serves more than just the Wild

The Xcel Energy Center ice has been busy with Minnesota high school girls the last couple of days. The MSHSL girls state hockey tournament has kept the arena buzzing with hockey excitement while the Minnesota Wild is on the road.

The Xcel Energy Center also hosts the boys state high school tournament from March 5th through 8th. The top boys games sell out every year and high school hockey fans must resort to aftermarket ticket-sellers like Ticket King if they want to be a part of the tournament. Minnesota is known as the state of hockey and we are the only state that has this much excitement and interest at a high school level. Minnesota has set several attendance records for high school hockey and will continue to draw large crowds into the Xcel Energy Center for high school games. If the teams are from large communities like Edina or Bloomington, you can bet that Minnesota State High School Hockey tickets will be in high demand! See ya at the tourney!
