The North Dakota state high school hockey tournament, as well as the state wrestling tournament, will have a different format this year, the North Dakota High School Activities Association decided Tuesday.

The NDHSAA Board of Directors approved these modifications, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The boys region hockey tournaments will be played Feb. 16 and Feb. 18 at the sites of the higher seed. The East Region tournament will conclude Feb. 20 at Purpur Arena in Grand Forks, while the West Region tournament will conclude Feb. 20 at MAYSA Arena in Minot.

For the boys and girls state hockey tournaments, the quarterfinal round will be played Tuesday, Feb. 23 at the higher seed. The semifinals, third place and championship games for both boys and girls are set for Feb. 26-27 at Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks.

Ticket information for both postseason tournaments will be released as the event gets closer. Modifications for the remaining winter postseason sports and fine arts contests will be announced at a later time, according to the Jan. 12 NDHSAA release.
