Anyone that loves hockey has to come to the Minnesota State High School Tournament at least once. In my opinion it is the best hockey experience in the world. I have been to many NHL games and NCAA games in my life. Nothing can compare to a tournament though. St. Paul is absolutely crazy that weekend with all the fan bases. The Xcel Energy Center is at max capacity for all the AA games. Tickets are harder to get each year it seems.

Haha....I realized that recently! :)

[@SRP3572]

They stopped going to the Alaska Aces games, even though the Aces had successful teams throughout the years, winning 3 kelly cups. A combination of poor economy and losing interest due to people overall losing their attention span, they thought the team would always just "be there"...when it was announced that they were gonna fold and relocate, oooooh, then people all of a sudden started caring again, but by then, it was too late. They were fickle, and they paid the price for it.

[@SRP3572]

Theres no way that an nhl team would work in alaska. The travel costs alone would be too much, topped with player salaries, team costs, staff salaries, and hockey fans in anchorage(which is where they would be based) are fickle as fuck. They let a successful echl team slip through their fingers and when it was too late to save the team, only then did they start caring again. So no, alaska isnt gonna get, and frankly doesnt deserve an nhl team

[@joshuakuhne8934]

MN would win most of the games. The talent pool is crazy. There is another video of AAA leagues teams and if MN didnt have a different system they would own all the lists. Hands down you have to watch the espn special called Minneflowta its fantastic and its about the MN State Highschool Tournament and the Hockey Hair culture.

[@cglasford1]

you will never see the actual HS team play these teams due to MNHSL rules but you probably can catch their summer programs playing them and I'm sure it would be competitive.

[@huckleberry6039]

This is one well put together list. So much information gathered it's hard to argue you're top 12. I kinda expected to hear North Dakota and I'm a bit surprised that only one New England state made the list. But I have to say I really enjoyed this video so much information given and I'm excited to see if you have more videos.

I did my part in Wichita Kansas. Along with two friends we founded a High School Hockey League. Although it was Inline Hockey; we had many players that played in Junior Ice. We choose Inline because it was more accessible and affordable to the average Joe. We had 15 area High Schools playing as a club sport. We tried hard to get the school district on board but they instead choose bowling. Had local news come out a couple times a year to show a little slice of the action. We had approximately 200 kids and several 100’s of parents and spectators filling the building a year for a run of six years. Can’t tell you how much fun and hard work it was; but it was worth it.

My childhood in a suburb of Minnesota: Age 3, Bauer Beaver skates on the pond across the street the Dad's shoveled. Age 6, first team play, outdoor rinks only, standing in a snow bank for a bench. Age, 10, squirts, first traveling league play going to tournaments all over the state. Age 14, Bantam, first international play besides Canada. Age 17, member of State Championship team, the hype, the glory, the legacy in the community and mobs of college programs at every game. Age 50-something looking back...any other hockey I played after high school was disappointing in a way I only get now. I guess it's about the love of the game and playing for and being supported by a community of people that were in my life for many years. Teammates, coaches, parents, classmates, local businesses, other players you meet at tournaments; it's all very rich and unrepeatable.
