Bob Gillen [26th Year] - H.S. Hockey Statistician
Welcome Hockey Fans to the new website for North Dakota High School Hockey. We had a great seventeen seasons at www.ndhighschoolhockey.com and I want to thank my partner Dan K. for his work in providing that site for me for all those seasons. As we begin my 26th Season providing the information for N.D. High School Hockey we are excited to transition to Sports Engine. The past 17-Seasons history are located on this site but you will only see a number of seasons tabs at the top of the page your are on. You must scroll down on the page your on to see the other seasons tabs, but all seasons dating back to 2007-08 are on the site.
Hockey Fans........Website Navigation Update for this season. We have two different types of Tables that were set-up during construction of the site. The Boys and Girls Varsity State Scoring Leaders and Goalie Leaders have Sortable Columns with arrows in the various headings that you can switch from Low to High and High to Low. The 32 Boys and Girls Individual Team Player Stat Pages were not set-up with this feature so they were set from Low Points to High Points and Low Save % to High Save %. Unfortunately we can't have both the Team Pages and the State Leaders Pages the same so we are making this change for the rest of this season.
Team Pages will be set to show Players Listed Highest Points to Lowest Points and Highest Save % to Lowest Save % for the rest of this season since we do not have the Sortable Column Features on the Team Pages.
The State Scoring and Goalie Leaders Pages will now show Lowest Points and Lowest Save % on Page 1 when you get on those pages, but all you need to do to get the Highest Points and Goalie Save % to be listed on your screen is hit the Points Column Heading or the Save % Column Heading and it will show as we will want it for the future.

This is my 26th Season as the ND High School Hockey State Statistician and I cannot recall a time over the past twenty-six seasons of what happened tonight [2-11-25] with the top two scorers in the state on the same night in Boys High School Hockey. I do not keep that detailed of stats, but I cannot remember two players on the same day achieving this feat let alone the Top Two Scorers in the State in Boys High School Hockey. Congrats to Bryce and Mackley for their performances tonight!
#1-Bryce Mattern F Jr. W.F. Packers 21-GP 46-33 79-Points
#2-Mackley Morelli F Sr. Minot High 21-GP 30-31 61-Points
--Both Players scored Four Goals in a Period
--Both Players had Natural Hatricks in under a Two Minute Span
Morelli had a Four Goal First Period with his Natural Hatrick to start the game. He scored his goals in the first period at the following
0:29 / 1:41 / 1:57 then scored his 4th of the Period at 16:34
Mattern had a Four Goal Third Period with his Natural Hatrick to end the game. He scored his goals in the third period at the following
9:19 then rattled off three straight at 15:25 / 16:10 / 16:28
Fargo North/South picked by Coaches as top Team
The twelve Head Coaches have picked Fargo North/South as the early favorite to repeat as the States top Girls Team. The Spruins earned 11 of the 12 First Place Votes as teams cannot vote for themselves to earn the top spot in the poll. The Spruins defeated Bismarck Century in last years State Championship Game 5-1 to cap off a [22-3-0] season. Coach Parker Metz returns a veteran team so a run at another State Championship is well in their grasp. The Coaches picked West Fargo United to finish second. Veteran Coach Pat Johnson's team won the regular season title last year edging the Spruins by one point in the standings but fell in the opening round at the State Tournament. W.F. United then went on the claim the Consolation Championship with a 5-4 Overtime win over Devils Lake. Bismarck Century, who also earned a First Place Vote, along with Grand Forks and Mandan round out the Top Five in this years Pre Season Coaches Poll.
Tony Swearingen and Cal Nass are two new Head Coaches behind girls team benches as we open the 2024-25 season on Friday. Swearingen will take over for Ben Hertz in Mandan while Nass will take over the Williston Coyotes coaching duties which Jeff Clarke held last year.
Minot earns Seven First Place Votes to lead WDA Poll
The Magicians are coming off a third place finish at last years State Tournament in Fargo with a 5-2 win over Fargo South/Shanley. They are looking to get into the State Championship Game this year as Coach Willert and Coach Bennett have a very talented team entering the 2024-25 season. Long Tenured Coach Troy Olson and his Century Patriots earned 3 of the 10 coaches votes to finish in the top spot in the West Region. The Patriots did win the Region last year going [15-1] in league play but finished 6th at the State Tournament after a 2-1 loss to Fargo North. Bismarck Legacy, Mandan and Jamestown round out the Top Five Teams in the West Region Poll.
Jake Stilwell takes over for 20 Year Veteran Matt Stockert in Jamestown while Stephen Dora takes over the Head Coaching duties for the Bismarck High Demons replacing Wes Carr.
G.F. Central edges cross town rival as Favorite in Poll
Grand Forks Central finished second to cross town rival Grand Forks Red River in the regular season as well as in the State Championship Game last year, but the Knights edge the Riders in the Pre-Season Coaches Poll. The Knights earned 7 of the 10 1st Place Votes while Red River picked up the other three 1st Place Votes. According to the poll, it looks like an early two team race by how the East Region Coaches see the Conference shaking out. Red River went [14-1] to take the regular season crown then capped off the season with a 4-2 win over Central in the State Championship Game. Central hopes to turn the table this year as the Knights also earned the State Coaches Poll share with G.F. Red River as the two teams tied with 349 Points but Central earned 11 of the 20 1st Place Votes while Red River took 7 of the 20 1st Place Votes. Minot and Fargo North each picked up a 1st Place Vote as well. The Coaches in the East Region picked the West Fargo Packers to come in Third followed by West Fargo Sheyenne and Fargo North to round out the Top Five Teams in this years East Region Coaches Pre-Season Poll.
All Ten Head Coaches in the East Region are back behind the bench so there are not any new Coaches to announce for the 2024-25 Season.
