The high school hockey season is now over. Game two of the boys high school hockey series between Duluth and the Iron Range wrapped-up on Wednesday night with the Duluth team winning 8-5.

But because the Iron Range won on Tuesday, 6-4, a mini-game was needed to decide the winner of the Dick Stewart Cup.

Thanks to Adam Johnson and his two goals in the mini-game, the Iron Range team won 3-0 and takes the cup back up north.
