Many outsiders believe they have great hockey teams…such as North Dakota with UND or Wisconsin with the Badgers. However, have they ever taken a step back and looked at their roster?
Majority of their players come from two places; Canada or Minnesota.
I’ll stop there and not criticise out-of-state college teams, however I’m trying to make a point that we are truly ‘The State of Hockey’ and it is NOT just a quote or title.
Just look at the number of Minnesotans at USA Hockey All-American Prospect games over the years.
Our culture here in Minnesota is anything but generic.
