Roseau vs. Warroad
7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 3

Roseau earned a signature win in the second round of the Mid-Winter Meltdown with a 4-1 victory over No. 3-2A Eden Prairie on Dec. 28. However, the Rams (7-6-1) could not find another win against a Lake Conference team, falling to No. 9-2A Minnetonka 3-1 in the tournament final. 

The impressive showing bodes well for Roseau as it heads into this storied northland battle. So to does the heightened play of junior defender and Vermont commit Ellice Murphy (5-10-15).

Warroad's holiday tournament experience was nearly the complete opposite of their rivals, as the No. 4-1A Warriors (7-7-1) fell to Shakopee, St. Paul United and Alexandria at the Warroad Hockeytown Holiday Classic.

Junior forward and Minnesota State commit Madison Oelkers (11-18-29) went pointless in two of last weekend's tournament games, and will look to reignite on Tuesday.
