The 1931/32 season concluded and here are the stories.

Iron Range Hockey League: The Eveleth Reds finished at the top of the Iron Range for the third straight year. Hibbing is picking up ground and looks to push for a Cup. Ely didn't move but is getting older. Soudan finished fourth in the league meaning they qualified for a playoff spot at long last! Virginia, like Ely, is aging and dropped to fifth. The Rangers climbed to sixth and the Flames dropped to last.

Lake Superior Hockey League: Two Harbors, led by Captain Miles Potter, dethroned the Voyageurs atop the Lake Superior League. Cloquet improved past the Hornets, and the Lakers finished last in the league yet again.

Twin Cities Hockey League: The Victorias clinched the top spot in the Cities with a breakthrough year by their young goaltender, Joseph Molde. The Mavericks and Saints finished second and third. The newly merged Minneapolis Hockey Club were able to jump into a playoff spot due to combining their top players. This caused the Vulcans to continue to decline, but they still finished above Stillwater.

  

Game 1: In their first Cup final game in a decade, the Mavericks were completely outplayed by the Reds as they lost 4-1. 
Game 2: The defending champs continued to control nearly every aspect of the game and won game two easily as well. 
Game 3: With the series going down to South St. Paul, the Mavericks hoped it would give them the push they needed to comeback in the series. They were able to squeeze out an overtime victory on home ice. 
Game 4: The Reds tightened up defensively and didn't allow a goal against on their way to a 3-0 victory. 
Game 5: With their backs against the wall, the Mavericks got chippy. Taking cheap shots at the Reds goaltender and hitting anyone wearing maroon. The Reds were disciplined and took advantage of the power play chances given to them as they went on to win their second straight Kellogg Cup!

The 1932/33 season concluded and here are the stories.

Iron Range Hockey League: The Eveleth Reds finished at the top of the Iron Range yet again, and look to win their third straight Kellogg Cup. The Black Bears bounced back and finished second. Soudan continues to improve and finished third. The Greyhounds took a step back, but still made the playoffs. The Rangers, Royals, and Flames finished at the bottom of the league.

Lake Superior Hockey League: Two Harbors finished first in the league for the second straight year, and the Duluth teams followed behind. The Lakers clinched a playoff birth, and the Broncos fell out of the playoffs with many of their players aging.

Twin Cities Hockey League: South St. Paul remained at the top of the Twin Cities with the St. Paul teams following close behind. Minneapolis clinched another playoff birth, and the Vulcans and Athletics finished at the bottom of the table.

  

Game 1: In the first Kellogg Cup final between two teams from the same league, the Two Harbors Timberwolves were able to take game on on home ice.

Game 2: Keeping the momentum going from game 1, the Wolves pressured Le Bleus the entire game, scoring 2 and allowing 0.

Game 3: The Voyageurs were able to use their home ice advantage and bring the series to a one game deficit.

Game 4: In a tight game, Duluth would score the game winning goal on a controversial "deflection" off the players skate to win it in overtime. Timberwolves players admittedly swear it was kicked in, but none the less the series will go back to Two Harbors tied 2 games apiece.

Game 5: In a goaltending duel, the Wolves came out on top with a 1-0 win.

Game 6: With the series back in Duluth, everyone expected Le Bleus to continue the trend of the home team winning, but the Wolves had other ideas. Jumping out to a 2 goal lead they held it throughout, although they did allow the Voyageurs to get one back, they buried them with an empty net goal to seal their first Kellogg Cup!
