MARINETTE – The M&M Thunder 18U hockey team is set to host the WAHA Midget State Tournament at the Marinette Community REC Center this weekend.

The action kicks off on Friday with the Thunder taking on Madison at 4 p.m.

The six-team tournament features a pool play round in which each team will play three games. Teams will receive three points for a win in regulation, two points for a win in overtime or a shootout, or one point for a loss in overtime or a shootout.

At the end of pool play the two teams with the most points will face-off in the State Championship game at noon on Sunday following games for third and fifth place Sunday morning.

The fourth-seeded Thunder have been placed in the “National” pool along with second-seeded Dodgeville and sixth-seeded Hudson. They will take on teams from the “American” pool which features No. 1 Kenosha, No. 3 SHAW, and No. 5 Madison.

The Thunder are scheduled to play Madison at 4 p.m. on Friday, Kenosha at 8 a.m. on Saturday and SHAW at 8 p.m. on Saturday.

In the regular season, the Thunder posted a record of 15-9-4. They have played only three games against other teams in the State Tournament including a 7-6 loss in a very physical contest at SHAW and both ends of a doubleheader with Dodgeville, one of only three times the team lost consecutive contests this season.

Five Thunder teams advanced to the WAHA State Tournament this season. The Squirt B team won the State Championship while the Squirt A team finished eighth, Peewee A placed fifth, and the Bantam team finished seventh.
