Bemidji High School graduate Jack Johnson was one of six Saint John’s hockey players to make the 20-man Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference All-Conference Team, as announced Tuesday. Johnson and two of his SJU teammates were also named to the MIAC All-Rookie Team.

Goalie Tanner Rebischke and an upset-minded Bemidji High School boys hockey team nearly pulled off a shocker Tuesday night in the Section 8AA quarterfinals.

Behind the 46-save performance of their junior netminder, the No. 8 seeded Lumberjacks came within 3 minutes, 15 seconds of taking top-seeded Moorhead to overtime in its own building.

With time winding down in regulation, Carter Johnson tipped in the game-winning goal in an eventual 3-1 win for the Spuds (19-5-1), though BHS gave them a scare and proved teams can never take anything for granted in the section playoffs.

Moorhead entered the game 55 spots ahead of Bemidji in the Class AA QRF rankings at No. 6 in the state and had combined to outscore the Jacks 14-2 in a pair of regular-season meetings, including a 9-0 home win three weeks ago. None of that mattered to BHS Tuesday.

Moorhead outshot BHS 49-17 for the game. Each team finished 0-for-1 on the power play.

Nine seniors capped their BHS careers Tuesday: Andrew Johanns, Reid Colley, Chase Mock, Gage Mostad, Wyatt Halvorson, Chase Fillipi, Ethan Mock, Dylan Perreault and Carson Kelm.

The Lumberjacks conclude the season with a record of 3-22-1. A game like Tuesday’s shows there’s plenty to build on heading into the 2020-21 campaign.
