24th DQ Classic starts Friday

Quality may top quantity at this year's DQ Grill and Chill Classic. The tournament, now in its 24th year, has one fewer team than it did last year but the lineup may have more depth than ever.

Defending champion and host Ely, off to a 4-1 start this year, will be joined by Division I powers Sartell and Minnetonka, Iron Range rival Hibbing and two teams that made it to the state tournament during the high school season - Proctor and Deer River.

Action starts at 12:30 p.m. Friday at Veterans Memorial Field and four games are on tap. The tournament continues with five games on Saturday and three more on Sunday - all in Ely.

Here's the tournament lineup:
