If he had stuck to his initial statement of it being key to the downtown economy, I'd have gone along with him to some degree (although the business sector of downtown St. Paul was still ok before the Wild - retail and entertainment was non existant). But all of St. Paul is dependent on the Wild? No.Neutron 14 wrote:umm... no.ozzie679 wrote: The St Paul economy lives and dies with hockey.

THE CREAM ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP or to the NORTH if your talking about hockey.

I hope not. Roseau - Polaris, Warroad - Marvins, but not St. Paul.Neutron 14 wrote:umm... no.ozzie679 wrote: The St Paul economy lives and dies with hockey.

5 days and 6 pages of posts later.... It looks like Hawkeynut08 called this one right.hawkeynut08 wrote:To settle this once and for all. The reason they call Minnesota the State of Hockey is this very reason everyone could beat this topic to death. We are all very proud of our hockey history and heritage. Lets just be the envy of everyone else in our country.

I accidentally omitted the word downtown when I was summing up the post.

Here's the original quote.If you want to talk about arenas. Look no further than St. Paul. The downtown economy relies on hockey. That is not the case with Roseau, Warroad, Duluth, Hibbing, etc. The St Paul economy lives and dies with hockey. The SP hockey tradition is as rich and deep as any Minnesota town. Those two factors make St Paul the best hockey town in Minnesota.

I do not think roseau wins the title of HCMN

look at that list, --- seems the big schools can do a little better after they kicked most of the small schools out.wishock wrote:Neutron 14 wrote:1999 - Roseaugohome wrote: and the city schools have kids jumping from school to school just to try to compete with one of the northern teams.
