I'm Gonna Fix the MHSAA State Playoffs

We recap some of the biggest takeaways and performances from the 2025 MHSAA Frozen Four. I present my fix for a playoff system that's been broken for forever, with a tiered format that provides great competition, an even playing field and simple enough for the MHSAA to implement. Plus, my All-Freshman and All-Sophomore Teams have been released, we'll talk about some of my favorite players from the Class of 2027 and 2028.
