If this is the State of Hockey and the Land of 10,000 Lakes, can’t we have a State of 10,000 Dream Team Hockey Players? We could, but the list is confined to 15.

Every game has one or more, from the first of Wednesday’s Class 1A quarterfinals (St. Cloud Cathedral’s John Hirschfeld) to the last in Thursday’s Class 2A first round (Rogers’ Parker Deschene and Nolen Geerdes, Edina’s Sam Peckham).

Listen: NSPN.tv’s Ryan Phelps has a first look at the Class 2A and 1A brackets and discusses the matchups with the Star Tribune’s David La Vaque.
