There are 8 cities in the state that I can find that have multiple schools in the city and thus have 'hindered' their city's ability to be top in certain sports. For example, if Minneapolis made one team for all sports, they would arguably win (or at least do well) state in football and basketball year in and year out. There are cities like that in hockey too. How would they do?

duluth

Just from what ive read on here , and also being from duluth If your putting Denfeld Marshall and east together You would have a solid 3 Scoring lines ( state ranked lines ) and One heck of a checking line and special teams... And of course Leis in net

Mpls is an interesting issue to be considered. Sure, if you put one team together next year they would not be the best no question about it. But if you never branched it off into more than 2 schools (used to be just East and West from my understanding) then they probably would've had more participation. If you're going to Washburn (for example) 5 years ago, or know you will, why would you play hockey and be on a team that's going to win 2 games when you could play basketball or swim or any number of other thing, or not even play? If they had stuck with 2 teams, or even brought it to one, they would've probably had much more luck and better programs like that.

Question with this:

If you combine Duluth, Rochester & St. Cloud then technically you won't be using Marshall, Lourdes or Cathedral since they are private schools and have nothing to do with the split.

If you are counting them, then you need to count AHA, Cretin, Hill-Murray, Benilde, Totino, Breck, Blake... and all the other privates schools into the cities in which they belong and then you would have more than 8.

I know the voting will be off because this isn't factored in, but mine goes to Bloomington.

Look at all the kids Minneapolis and St.Paul lose kids to; Benilde, Hill-Murray, Cretin, Breck, Blake, etc. Imagine if either of those 2 cities kept all their kids and could put them in 1 program per town.

This is really a non-factor since most of these schools have been around a long time and kids have been going to them for tens of years and some 100's of years....

No, they aren't up to that caliber...

Yeah, but maybe they would be if there was only one team. Sorry I missed them.

One thing, I wasn't thinking the privates would be included since they are private schools.

Well just based on all the Duluth responses, people are obviously thinking that way. No way do they think that Denfeld combined with East is that good

Denfeld, Central, and East. So that's all the kids from Duluth. Plus if that was a school, the few kids that go to Marshall just for hockey wouldn't anymore.

much better than some of the teams on the list.

Rochester would be able to put 4 good lines together and play without a goalie!
