High school hockey tournament capsule

- By Jon Behm

No. 1 St. Ignatius vs. No. 8 Avon

What: Brooklyn District sectional final When: Feb. 21, 5:30 p.m. Where: John M. Coyne Recreation Center, 7600 Memphis Ave., Brooklyn

For the record: And finally we are to the point in the tournament where the top dogs don’t mercy rule teams . ... Avon has been strong thus far in the tournament, knocking off Chagrin Falls before defeating Brooklyn to get to this point . ... As has been expected, forward Zach Zwierecki has been a tough match for defenses. It will be interestin­g to see how a Great Lakes Hockey League team takes on Zwierecki. If he is underestim­ated, he will make them pay. Behm’s pick: St. Ignatius

No. 3 Holy Name vs. No. 7 Midview

What: Brooklyn District sectional final When: Feb. 21, 8 p.m. Where: John M. Coyne Recreation Center, 7600 Memphis Ave., Brooklyn For the record: Of the four sectional finals, this one is the hardest to predict. On one hand, Midview has played tough with some teams that have played tough against Holy Name or similar competitio­n. On the other hand, the Middies have lost to some teams that would be blown out of the water by the Green Wave . ... I think this is one of those where Holy Name is going to win it eight out of 10 times. The question is if this is one of the two times Midview wins. If they play their game and refuse to give in to Holy Name’s physical play, the Middies stand a chance. If they aren’t at their peak, it will be a rough go for the Middies. Behm’s pick: Holy Name Behm’s record: 8-2
