Minnesota Hockey: 1931 vs Wisconsin Badgers TBT

Related Topics: Wisconsin, Minnesota

Minnesota and Wisconsin have been playing each other since 1922. If you want to read up on the first game between these two old rivals, holler at this older piece that is really well written. Frank Pond, former player from Two Harbors took over the 1930 team. He would make the 1931-1932 Gophers into one of the great best in the country. Using the “Tonnelle System” they finished that year second in the country (not idea what the Tonnelle System is). Conveniently for Minnesota fans the 1930s sucked for Wisconsin hockey, they gave up on the sport after 1934-1935.
