what do you guys feel about playing teams, like many have from SD, or ND, Canada, even WI? do they offer better competition for the most part and are they worth playing? or tourny's in other states to play teams.
are the games more chippy too and is the emotion and respect equal to playing a minnesota team.
out of state teams

My two cents
Ill through a couple of comments in.
I was at the Duluth Jr Gold A tourney.
The professionalism and character shown by the SF SD players coaches and parents was impressive. They were hit with several questionable single, and double penaltys, and remained calm, cool, and collected.
The GB team was just the opposite, they were not that impressive. I do have to congradulate them on winning though. But the hockey they played wasnt that impressive. The coaching wasnt that impressive. Although the head coach was in the stands because of the # of penaltys from the SF game earlier.
