No. 17 Holy Family Catholic at No. 11 St. Thomas Academy
7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 4
At St. Thomas Ice Arena, Mendota Heights

Since starting the season with losses to Edina and Maple Grove, Holy Family Catholic has run off a 14-2-1 record, including eight wins in its last nine games. But its only true signature victory was way back on Dec. 12, a 7-3 victory over Benilde-St. Margaret’s. A successful trip to St. Thomas Academy would certainly qualify. The Cadets are the only team to have beaten both No. 1 Lakeville North and No. Hill-Murray this season — their first in Class 2A after winning three straight Class 1A state titles. Both squads are led by high-scoring juniors: Tom Novak (21-32-53) for St. Thomas Academy and John Peterson (23-24-47) for Holy Family Catholic.
