Hill-Murray is the Section 4AA Champion. The 2010 Pioneers broke the school record for fewest goals allowed in the section playoffs with one goal against in three games. The old record was two, set five times, most recently in 2008. Hill-Murray has averaged 40 shots per game this season, a mark equaled only once in school history (1975). Senior captain Jordan Johnson will become the fourth Pioneer to play in four state tournaments. The others are Pat Ethier (1979), Ben Belde (1980), and Tyler Zepeda (2009). Hill-Murray's quarterfinal opponent is Duluth East. The schools have placed twice in the state tournament before, both notable games. Hill-Murray defeated East 3-1 in its first ever state tournament game in 1975, and won again 5-3 in the 1991 state championship game. Since 1991, both schools have qualified for 11 state tournaments, but have not played each other in any of their previous 10. Articles on the White Bear game from MN Hockey Hub and the Star Trib.
