What are your favorite rivalry gamesthroughout the season? I'd have to go with Roseau vs. Warroad and Hill vs. WBL at Aldrich.

What does eveyone else think

Apple Valley vs. Eastview is always good fun, especially if both teams are contenders.

Duluth East-Cloquet is bedlam every time.

Hibbing vs Virginia or Grand Rapids is a classic every game.

i know these two are not anywhere near the great hockey powers of this state but Litchfield / Dassel/ Cokato{LDC} vs. Willmar will match any intensity of the great ones,, Any truth that the adminstration from Willmar only wants to play this game one time in the year , what a shame for the kids, and the kids are suppose to look to the adults for guidence. If its true what a shame

Greatest rivalry game in the state of Minnesota:

North St. Paul and Richfield.

That is a game with passion and hunger. Both teams know they need to put on the foil early and often in this one!!!

mounds view vs. irondale. The 2 teams aren't fantastic but its intense, both are in the same school district battleing for bragging rights

Used to be Rapids - Greenway. Now I think Rapids biggest rival is w/o a doubt Duluth East.

I've heard stories of Greenway/GR rivalry, if Greenway gets a good team again. Do you think that rivalry could be renewed

Cloquet is definetly a rival, but I don't think the dislike there is near as strong as it is for East.

Hands down, bro, hands down.

Post by **karl(east)** » Sun Nov 18, 2007 10:43 pm

The top 3, in no particular order:

Roseau-Warroad
Hill Murray-WBL
Duluth East-Cloquet (probably the highest attendance of any regular season HS game when in the DECC)

With Rapids getting the best of East for the first time in recent memory last year, that rivalry could certainly heat up a bit...I plan on traveling to GR this year for their game in January. For East fans it doesn't quite match Cloquet yet, though. Distance probably plays a role in that.
