East Grand Forks vs. Totino-Grace
7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 2

Brooklyn Park Ice Arena provides the setting for this early December meeting between Class A stalwarts East Grand Forks and Totino-Grace.

East Grand Forks aims to improve on last year's 15-11-2 season in which the Green Wave missed out on the state tournament for the first time in four years.

Senior forward Bauer Brown (14-12-26) is the top returning scorer for No. 9-1A East Grand Forks.

Inconsistent play in the regular season dogged Totino-Grace a year ago, but the team put things together in the postseason to make a run to the Class 1A, Section 4 championship.

The No. 15-1A Eagles hope to roll over that playoff success and stay on an upward trajectory this season. Totino-Grace gets back two of their top goal scorers back in Sam Hentges (15-30-45) and Cam Fagerlee (15-21-36), as well as senior goaltender Michael Bonfe, and all three should help keep the Eagles on an even keel.
