Owatonna will open the girls hockey Section 1A playoffs Wednesday night at Four Seasons Centre against Waseca, just like last year.

The Huskies beat the Bluejays in last year's playoffs on their way to a section runner-up finish behind Northfield. The Huskies blanked Waseca 3-0 on December 13. Red Wing, who wrapped up the Big Nine title Saturday, is the top seed after going unbeaten against Section 1A teams.

The Huskies' only loss to a section team came January 28 against Northfield. Owatonna tied Northfield earlier this season and tied Red Wing in their only meeting. If Owatonna beats Waseca on Wednesday, they would likely go to Northfield for the semifinals Saturday.

The section finals are Thursday, February 16, at the Four Seasons Centre in Owatonna. The Section 1AA championship game will follow at 7:30PM.
