This Thursday game could be for the de facto championship of the Hockey For Life Classic in Prior Lake, should both teams advance through the first two rounds undefeated. Either way, it figures to be one of the best showdowns of the holiday season given that Edina has won four straight after an 0-3 start to the season and Rogers’ lone loss came to No. 1-1A Minnetonka.
Junior Jackson Nevers has five goals to lead No. 7-2A Edina (4-3-0), while freshman Mason West is the top scorer with eight points. No. 2-2A Rogers (6-1-0) is led by Sam Ranallo’s eight points.
