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.

Warroad hosted and sponsored the Lakers. During the Allan Cup run, close to half the team was Roseau Alumni!

Great hockey and just a nice example how the two towns can unite to win championships!

Just think what could happen "IF" it ever happened at the High School level?????

Because they only have two more titles with about 256 times the enrollment. Everyone in Roseau eats, sleeps, and breathes hockey. This is not the same situation in Edina.

Roseau, home or the Rams, proud of their heritage, defending state champs, too proud to play in their own level. The population of Roseau is very near the population at any of these suburban TC schools on a given school day, and they still win. All we have to do is look at last year's state tournement to settle the fact that northern MN is home to the town. Warroad has had a heckuva lot of players, but there is skeptisism as to where they come from, no such arguments are made against Roseau. In fact if we use the last true stud out of the Warriors program we have to give the title to Seattle..........but the people of Warroad love their hockey too, ..............

I am the real NUT!

Is there truly just one City of Hockey in the great State of Hockey?

That seems like an impossible decision to make in my mind! Too bad we don't have so many good options when it comes to politicians!!

Goldy Gopher, you are exactly right. I bet there are a few thousand people in Edina who don't care at all about hockey, and have never so much as played a pick up game with friends. Towns like Roseau and Warroad are obsessed with hockey throughout the majority of the population. Don't get me wrong, Edina has a great hockey tradition and history, but hockey is just another activity among many in this large suburb.

If you are going to combine champions from Edina, Edina East and Edina West then just combine Roseau and I. Falls.

14 Banners with a fifth the population combined

Lemme see... Edina's basketball team just lost to St. Bernards, and I dont remember them ever doing much in wrestling either. Yep, they're a hockey community! Enrollment means squat also.

Nothing but an argumentative thread. So many communities have contributed so much, so many people have volunteered their time, that to pick one would be a huge disservice to the others.

Just to prove your point, could you post a roster and point out the 51%+ that were RHS graduates? I know all of those Allan Cup teams had current WHS players on the roster, i never saw a current RHS player on the team though.

Here's what the current "combined" team would look like...

SALOL NORTH STARS

1st Tyler Landman Bryce Ravndalen Ben Nelson
Aaron Ness Mark McDonald

2nd Jeremy Hahn Dustin Moser Nick Oliver
Tai Larson Ryan Weston

3rd Adam Knochenmus Brock Nelson Brett Hebel
Michael Pieper Mitch Martinson

4th Jason Fabian Dane Shaugabay Jon Hellquist

G mike lee

Nice Math! Close to half is now 51%+??

Roseau Alumni would not be current palyers.
