Class 1A

The top four Class 1A teams remain unchanged with Blake (18-2-1) receiving 10 first-place votes in the coach's poll. 

The Bears haven't lost since Dec. 22 and have allowed just seven goals since then. Ten Blake skaters recorded points in a 4-1 win over No. 3 St. Paul United (14-4-1).

St. Paul United has lost to Blake twice in January, but retains the third spot in the coach's poll. Cornell University recruit Joie Phelps leads the Spartans with 47 points (20 goals, 27 assists). Phelps ranks third in the state in assists and ninth in points.

Thief River Falls (13-7-0) fell from fifth to seventh, allowing Warroad (10-7-2) to gain the No. 5 spot and Delano/Rockford (15-3-0) to climb to No. 6. The Prowlers lost to Warroad, 3-2, in a game decided by Madison Oelker's goal early in the third period. Oelkers, a junior, has committed to Minnesota State-Mankato.

Red Wing (11-5-2) jumped from No. 10 to No. 8 despite a 5-0 loss to unranked Moorhead.
