Nothing separated the Minnetonka and Wayzata boys hockey teams when they drew 1-1 on Friday at Plymouth Ice Center. Little separates them now.
Minnetonka (10-0-1) remains No. 1 in the latest Let's Play Hockey Class 2A rankings, and Wayzata (10-0-2) remains No. 2. Chanhassen (9-4-0), winner of seven in its past eight games, stands third.
Minnetonka has a cross-class challenge ahead against Class 1A No. 6 Mahtomedi on Saturday. That comes after a Thursday game against Hill-Murray, which fell from Class 2A's top 10 in the latest rankings.
Maple Grove (8-2-0) made a jump from ninth to sixth after its eighth victory in a row. St. Thomas Academy (8-3-1) moved even more, from No. 13 to No. 8. The Cadets have won five in a row.
Hermantown (6-2-2) stood strong atop Class 1A, and Warroad (10-2-0) remained second. Delano (8-3-1) is ranked third, highest among Twin Cities schools, and will take on Chanhassen on Thursday at Victoria Ice Arena.
