Powers Collide, Minnetonka Falls to Edina, 4-2

In a game of heavy hitters, the Edina Hornets topped the Minnetonka Skippers 4-2.

Watching the Edina Hornets and the Minnetonka Skippers boys hockey game was like watching two heavyweight fighters exchanging blows, with neither able to land a haymaker.

In a fast-paced game filled with hard checks and physical play along the boards, the score was tied 2-2 until early in the final period. At the 16:27 mark in the third, the Hornets scored to take a 3-2 lead. The Skippers could only muster 22 shots on goal against Edina's swarming defense. The Hornets, only able to make 23 shots on goal themselves, scored on an empty net goal with less than one minute to play, giving Edina a 4-2 win.
