On a cloudy and blustery Saturday afternoon, visiting No. 5-ranked Champlin Park completed its regular season schedule with a convincing 9-4 win over Maple Grove.  

For the Rebels, it was their 10th win in their last 11 games, the lone defeat coming at the hands of No. 1 Eden Prairie.

Champlin Park's victory secured the Rebels solo second place in the Northwest Suburban Conference with a conference record of 8-1. A Maple Grove victory would have resulted in a tie for second place, but the loss dropped the Crimson into third place with a conference record of 6-3.

Maple Grove kept it close early and was only down 4-3 at halftime, but Champlin Park turned up the defensive intensity in the second half to secure the win. 

Luke Dalman, Ryan McNeil, and Max Turgeon each had four points to lead the visiting Rebels.

Champlin Park will be at home to face Forest Lake in the first round of the Section 7 playoffs on Wednesday, May 29.

Maple Grove will be at home Wednesday, May 29 to face Elk River in the first round of the section 8 playoffs.
