Does no one remember what made the Minnesota Boys State Hockey Tournament so alluring? It was one community raised and developed team vs. the others. School, team and community pride vs. the others. 20 guys growing up together, playing together, developing together, and dreaming of playing in the s...

So, I guess if you're Catholic and your parents want (make) you to attend Catholic school so you get to practice your faith daily, you shouldn't be allowed to play hockey?
