Hockey Day Minnesota 2020 couldn’t have started much better. Well, an air temperature above zero might have been nice. But seeing an overtime game-winner scored is a nice compromise. 

In a battle between Metro West Conference foes, Minneapolis defeated Holy Angels 3-2 in overtime Thursday evening under the lights at Parade Stadium. 

Minneapolis freshman Celia Midtbo put on a show with a three-point night, including an unassisted overtime winner about halfway through the extra session. 

“I just came around the net and threw it hoping for the best,” Midtbo said. “A couple seconds after, I knew it went in. It feels great. I don’t know how to explain it.”
