St. Paul, Minn. - Hermantown had a two-goal lead going into the third period, but St. Thomas Academy came back with three goals in the final period to win their third straight State A Boys Hockey Championship, 5-4.

Matt Perry had a hat trick for St. Thomas. Scoring for Hermantown were Chris Benson, Scott Wasbotten, Ryan Kero and Lane LeGarde. The Hawks scored three goals in the second period. Benson's goal in the first period tied the game at 1. Henry Hart also had a goal for St. Thomas Academy.
