There wasn’t much at stake for the Bemidji High School boys hockey team on Thursday. The Section 8AA Tournament is all set, and so the regular season finale with Thief River Falls was more of a postseason tune-up than anything. Nevertheless, BHS head coach Pete Stahnke still liked what he got out of his team in the ultimate 3-1 home loss.

The Section 8AA Tournament begins for eighth-seeded BHS at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, at top-seeded Moorhead, where Stahnke said the team is going in with nothing to lose.

“Moorhead is going to be a tough matchup for us, but we’ve got to come out and compete against those guys,” he said. “We’ve just got to look at the little victories on the ice. Everything in the past is in the past.”
