Greenway vs. Bemidji, Saturday, Jan. 19, 4:30 p.m. Despite a difficult schedule, Greenway (6-11, 3-0) remains tied for the lead in the Iron Range Conference standings and has wins over Alexandria, Virginia/Mountain Iron-Buhl and Grand Rapids. Bemidji (6-9-1, 2-5) has beaten Warroad and tied St. Michael-Albertville. It hosts Hockey Day Minnesota for the first time and gets a home outdoor game against a formidable opponent.

Waconia vs. Orono, Friday, Jan. 18, 7:30 p.m. There’s still conference title hopes for plenty of teams in a competitive Wright County Conference. Orono (9-5, 3-1) doesn’t have a gaudy record or statistics, but has the coaches’ respect with a No. 6 ranking in Class 1A. Waconia (7-5-2, 1-3) has been up and down, and has just one goal in recent games against Mound-Westonka and Holy Family Catholic — but still averages 4.00 goals per game.

St. Michael-Albertville vs. Monticello, Tuesday, Jan. 15, 7 p.m. St. Michael-Albertville (8-3-3, 5-2) holds the top spot in the Mississippi 8 Conference standings and is one of four teams in the state with multiple players posting 34 or more points (Luc Laylin, 37; Adam Flammang, 36). Monticello’s Troy Dahlheimer (18-16-34) and the Moose (10-4-1, 3-3) are coming off a 3-2 win over Class 1A, Section 5 leader North Branch.

Lake of the Woods vs. Red Lake Falls, Tuesday, Jan. 15, 7 p.m. The Northwest Conference has some high-powered offenses, including Red Lake Falls, which averages 4.27 goals per game thanks to Zak Kennet (24 goals is fifth in the state). Red Lakes Falls (3-8, 1-3) and Lake of the Woods (5-10, 1-3) allow more than 4.80 goals per game, so it should be a high-scoring matchup.
