This summer's Mudhen schedule will present a variety of opponents in terms of the sizes of the base schools and also opponents that will provide the 2013 team with some beneficial challenges.  We have traditionally attempted to schedule quality opponents as much as possible with the idea that if you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best.

New to our Mudhens tournament in June will be Ham Lake who will replace Chaska from last years tourney field which gives us four Division 1 teams (Litchfield, Hutchinson, and West St Paul) in the eight team field.

Our league schedule includes the same eight opponents as last year with Division 1 Litchfield and Willmar and also teh defending District 7, D2 champion Eden Valley-Watkins.

Non league games include some top quality opponents in the Luverne/Pipestone tournament (we are the defending champs there) the last weekend of June.  Entered in that tournament are 2012 state tournament entrants Luverne and Sacred Heart as well as several teams from North and South Dakota and Nebraska.  Regional Champion, Wahpeton is scheduled to be there.  Just before that tournament, on June 27th State tournament runner-up Ely will make a return trip to Bird Island while on their annual trip south to the southern part of the state.

Also new to our schedule this year will be the Litchfield tournament in July the weekend before playoffs begin.  BOLD may end up being the only D2 team entered as all other teams entered so far are D1 teams.  They include (as of now) Litchfield, Cold Spring, Waconia for starters.
