 Bemidji State's men's hockey team is hoping for big things in what will be the final North Star College Cup. The tournament which matches up four of the five division one hockey teams in Minnesota each year is ending after this season due to a lack of fan interest according to the University of Minnesota. So the 20th ranked beavers hope to make their final trip to the excel for the tournament this weekend a memorable one. The four teams in this year's tournament include BSU, Minnesota, Minnesota Duluth and St. Cloud State. The beavers are three in one in their previous appearances at the tournament with one title coming back in 2015. We're the state of hockey and it allows people to see the Minnesota schools and it showcases the Minnesota schools and you know that's I think it's fun for the schools that are in it. It's like a regional and the competition is outstanding and I think what it does to it prepares you for the playoffs and because it is it's a playoff atmosphere and you have to win two big games to win the tournament. Challenging competition you have to be at your best so you know it's exciting it's exciting. Friday's game against St. Cloud State will be at 4 p.m. Saturday's game time is yet to be determined.
