1999-2000 Hill-Murray Hockey
Section
3AA Champion
- This was the first, and only, year that the MSHSL allowed teams to charge admission for three exhibtion games. These were not counted in the official record. The result was a round-robin tournament at Aldrich Arena on Thanksgiving weekend. The next year, the regular season was expanded to 25 games and the exhibition games were eliminated.
- The section championship shutout of White Bear Lake is one of the greatest upset wins in Hill-Murray history. For Pioneer fans, this is the year Hill-Murray turned the tables on White Bear and won the playoff game after losing the two regular season matchups, after being on the losing end of that feat in 1995, 1996, and 1998. Dan Kehler was outstanding, stopping 29 shots and 5 power plays, and Christian Toll scored the game-winner in the second period.
- Kehler also stood on his head in two conference victories over Osseo, which played in the TCS East Division this year only. In the first game, Kehler stopped a penalty shot and three other breakways in overtime, and the Pioneers won on Dan Carlson's goal with 9 seconds left. Osseo would go on to a monumental upset of state #1 Elk River in the Section 4AA semifinal before losing to eventual state champion Blaine in the section final.
- Two goals against in the section playoffs tied a team record set in 1978.
- The tournament loss was Hill-Murray's fourth straight against Edina and second in multiple overtimes in the state tournament. The Pioneers hit two posts in the last five minutes of regulation and lost on Steve Eastman's goal in the second overtime.
- Defenseman
and captain Steve Czech went on to Minnesota-Duluth and played in the
Frozen Four in 2004. Chris Toll played for Minnesota
State-Mankato. Dan Kehler won the MIAC playoff championship game
for St. Olaf in 2006.
