Go to the Minnesota Hockey website for the full rosters and schedules. The site states, "The CCM Minnesota Hockey High Performance programs are designed to identify the best players in Minnesota and to provide the top players from each district or section the chance to play with and against the best players in the state."

Director Mike MacMillan said, "Reaching this stage of the High Performance evaluation process is a terrific accomplishment for these players, and it's a great opportunity for them to take the next step in their development."

The festival is run as a standard eight-team tournament bracket. The top performers from the weekend will be invited to the Final 54 Festival April 26-28. From there, the top players get the chance to participate in a national camp sponsored by USA Hockey.
