I saw that Minnesota is named the "state of hockey", however the Wild have never won a title. Shouldn't the state of hockey be a state with more history like Illinois or Michigan?

The State of Hockey… What does it mean? Where does it come from? It’s hardly a secret that Minnesota has long been a hockey Mecca. The first hockey teams in Minnesota were formed a couple of decades before Henry Ford’s Model-T changed the world. The University of Minnesota first organized a hockey team in 1895 and though unsanctioned by the University, played a game against a team from Winnipeg on February 19, 1895. Around the turn of the century, indoor games begun to pop up around Minnesota in increasing frequency. Slowly and deliberately, the landscape of Minnesota hockey began to take shape and before we knew it, Minnesota became the beating heart of USA Hockey with the game flourishing at all levels.
When the North Stars left Minnesota in 1993, a void was left in the Minnesota hockey landscape. Luckily, the National Hockey League didn’t take long to realize this and they awarded Minnesota an expansion NHL franchise in 1997. This franchise wanted to capture the spirit of Minnesota’s hockey passion to help heighten the existing excitement of the NHL returning to Minnesota. From this, the “State of Hockey” was born, but what started as a marketing scheme quickly became so much more.
Passion
You’d be hard pressed to find an area of the country that displays its passion for hockey on such a broad platform like Minnesota does. That starts with youth hockey, from mini-mites to high school and every level in between. There is a reason Minnesota has been called the 11th province of Canada and while we’re content in Minnesota to remain south of the border and proudly represent USA Hockey, it speaks to the level of passion the north land truly has for hockey.
In 2014, Minnesota again ranked first in the nation in terms of number of players registered at USA Hockey with over 54,000. That number becomes even more impressive upon the realization that high school hockey players are technically not affiliated with USA Hockey so that number could be a few thousan

Hello reddit!
thousand higher even. The number two state is Michigan with slightly more than 50,000. The staggering statistic here is that Minnesota has considerably more hockey participation despite Michigan having nearly double the population.Speaking of passion, Minnesota’s high school hockey scene is the perfect example of it. Each year in March, fans flock to the Xcel Energy Center for the state boys high school hockey tournament. The overall attendance at this year’s “tourney”? Over 135,000 fans attended 8 sessions, a new record. It’s worth bearing in mind, as well, that some of the small class A schools that make it to the tournament are home to no more than 500 students and yet they regularly draw crowds of over 10,000 for tournament games. This year’s class AA final was witnessed by over 21,000 people, also a new record. To put these numbers in perspective, the NHL’s Florida Panthers draw an average attendance of little more than 11,000 per game. Just remarkable.
Minnesota is also a hotbed for college hockey, boasting 5 division I hockey schools. This year, 4 of those schools are part of the NCAA tournament, including number 1 overall seed, the Minnesota State University Mankato Mavericks. Also in the tournament are St. Cloud State, the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities and the University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs. Minnesota’s most recent national champion is UMD; the Bulldogs won 3-2 in overtime of the championship game held in St. Paul at the Xcel Energy Center, defeating the University of Michigan Wolverines. With 4 teams in the field this year, Minnesota schools make up 25% of the teams involved and all have a legitimate chance to win it all. College hockey players continue to rise to the NHL ranks at an increasingly large rate and many of those players are Minnesotans.
Professionally, Minnesota is on its second franchise and this is one thing many critics point out when we examine Minnesota hockey, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves
Professionally, Minnesota is on its second franchise and this is one thing many critics point out when we examine Minnesota hockey, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves, more on those detractors later. For now let us examine the history of professional hockey in Minnesota. In 1967, the NHL decided to expand for the very first time and boldly

double its membership. In one fell swoop, the league went from the “original 6” to a total of 12 teams. Among those expansion franchises was Minnesota and a team that would become known as the North Stars. The North Stars would play 26 years in Minnesota, including two memorable runs to the Stanley Cup Finals. In 1993, the North Stars moved to Dallas after controversy surrounding ownership and the inability to finalize a deal on a new arena for the team pushed them out. To this day, North Stars memorabilia is still present all over the state of hockey and many fans don the green and gold with the iconic “N” logo to Wild games. And, if you’re coming to Minnesota and want to fit it, just tell everyone you see how much “Norm Green sucks” and you’ll be sure to make a few friends right away.
It wouldn’t be long, however, before the NHL returned to Minnesota. Just 4 years after the North Stars left, the league announced that Minnesota would be one of four cities to receive and expansion franchise along with Nashville, Atlanta and Columbus. This new team became known as the Wild and it began play in the 2000 season. Some were slow to come around to cheering for a new team and still missed the North Stars while some were just elated to have hockey back in Minnesota.
Regardless, the State of Hockey immediately validated the decision to bring pro hockey to the area again with staggering attendance numbers and rabid enthusiasm despite a sub par team in the early years. Minnesota quickly garnered the 6th highest attendance numbers in the league during the inaugural Wild season and they never slowed down. From 2000 to 2010, the Wild sold out every single game from exhibition to regular season and playoffs, an unprecedented run of over 400 consecutive games. In terms of average attendance by percentage of capacity, Minnesota ranks fourth in the league this year at 105.9% and 6th in average overall attendance. Since its inception, Minnesota has never been in the bottom half of the league in attendance and only twice out of the top 10, all while having only three playoff appearances the first 10 years of the franchise. It seems clear, Minnesota’s infatuation with hockey, but not everyone believes in the State of Hockey.
Detractors
In Minnesota, the State of Hockey moniker is revered as a symbol of our heritage and our passion for the game. Not everyone agrees though, detractors are quick to point out the fact that Minnesota has never won a Stanley Cup. And “the North Stars left, how could they possibly be the State of Hockey?” The North Stars made it to two Stanley Cup finals and lost in 1981 to the budding New York Islanders dynasty that would win four consecutive Stanley Cups, the 2nd coming at the expense of Minnesota. The North Stars again made it to the finals in 1991 against Pittsburgh and won two of the first three games in that series but fell in six games to Mario Lemieux’s Penguins. The Minnesota Wild have yet to make it to a Stanley Cup finals series but the franchise is still young and if you believe in trends, Minnesota is certainly headed in the right direction..

Unparalleled production
It would be a travesty to leave out of this article the history of producing NHL talent in Minnesota. Producing the largest amount of American-born National Hockey League talent has long been part of the lore of Minnesota hockey. Minnesota has produced nearly 60 more NHL players than the next closest state, Massachusetts, and nearly 100 more than the third place state of Michigan. On top of that, some of the best U.S. talent in history has come out of Minnesota, including Phil Housley, Neal Broten and Dave Christian. Current Minnesotan’s in the NHL include David Backes, Zach Parise, Blake Wheeler, Nick Bjugstad, Dustin Byfuglien, Kyle Okposo, Derek Stepan, Ryan McDonagh, Justin Faulk, Brock Nelson, Anders Lee and more.
Anders Lee Islanders
Anders Lee, a budding super star for the Islanders, is a Minnesota native. (Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports)
Minnesota is also an attractive place to play for developing players not from Minnesota originally. Sydney Crosby and Jonathan Toews both spent time at Shattuck St. Mary’s prep academy in Faribault, Minnesota. Shattuck is one of the premier hockey development schools in all of North America and has produced countless NHL talents. Minnesota’s division I colleges have also been called home by many NHL stars. Brett Hull went to the University of Minnesota Duluth and Wisconsin native and current Toronto Maple Leafs sniper Phil Kessel went to the University of Minnesota. Additionally, TJ Oshie, one of the highlights of the 2014 Sochi Olympics, is from Washington originally but moved to Minnesota to develop his game and play high school hockey for the Warroad Warriors.
The 1980 “Miracle on Ice” Olympic hockey team also featured 12 Minnesotans out of a 20 man roster. Coach Herb Brooks also hailed from Minnesota.
The Numbers speak for themselves, but while impressive, numbers are not what truly makes up the fabric of the State of Hockey..
>Jordan Eberle - 6 million
>Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - 6 million
>Taylor Hall - 6 million
>Leon Draisaitl - you tell me ;)
Culture
It’s easy to throw out numbers and names of great players from Minnesota. It’s considerably harder to capture the true essence of Minnesota and the spirit of the State of Hockey, after all we truly eat sleep and breathe hockey on a level that borders obsession. It’s something that almost has to be lived to be believed. To truly understand the State of Hockey, you would have to brave the cold and attend an event like the U.S. Pond Hockey Championships on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis and witness the passion for the game. You would have to immerse yourself headfirst into the emotional celebration that is Hockey Day Minnesota. You would need to tour the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth, Minnesota and feel the history surrounding you. To truly understand the State of Hockey, you would have to attend the state high school hockey tournament and be one of over 20,000 fans going crazy for an amateur game or go to a Minnesota Wild hockey game and see first hand the love affair Minnesota shares with the game.
In truth, it is perhaps impossible for someone who didn’t grow up here to ever truly understand what the State of Hockey is really all about. It’s not about gloating or showing off, it’s not about belittling other hockey communities in our great country and it’s not about fame or recognition. Simply put, it’s about passion. It’s about the feeling of waking up at dawn for a game, or breathing in ice-cold air on a frozen pond. It’s about a special bond; one that can’t be broken. The State of Hockey is maybe best summed up, however, in one simple song.

i think the bruins should trade chara to someone like nashville. he'd be the number 3 guy there probably and be absolutely lights out with those minutes in a more secondary role. you have to let them pick who the money coming back is because of their financial constraints, but if you can do that for a first rounder and conor allen or something along those lines, that'd be great. overpayment but that's what you can get at the deadline these days. also, i'm operating on the assumption that the bruins will not be making the playoffs, which is my belief i'm sticking with.
>>63473612
why in the world Nashville would want Chara?
Look what I found
>>63473633
if you can play him against the right competition with offensive zone starts and you have weber taking the hardest minutes, he'd be incredibly effective and would give them an absolutely lights out defense for the playoffs. you go in with rinne somewhat hot and you can do a lot of damage with that. he's still a very effective player despite butthurt canadians claiming otherwise cause he tried to kill max pac once.

W-Well, we aren't last I guess, but any improvement is good to see. At this rate I might see a playoff team within 10 years.
Too bad we aren't in the pashitfic, that'd speed things up.

I've literally never heard of him and just googled his name and saw he has 10 goals in 10 games in the AHL this year. He also apparently already scored a goal for you guys in his first game. Where did he come from? It says he played at a D2 college on eliteprospects, lol.
The Flames will make it this year
The Red Wings will meme their way into the playoffs as usual.

he was always 15-20 pounds overweight for his entire playing career and he also got kicked out of boston college for drinking and not going to class. the bruins signed him to an entry level deal, and from what i've heard, a condition of it was that he had to lose a certain amount of weight before his first pro camp. he did that and more, he worked with a pro trainer that patrice bergeron used to work with and lost somewhere in the realm of 25 pounds and came into camp a really different player; he's really quick and accelerates well now, and his big tool has always been that he's had an incredibly heavy and accurate shot. now that he's making space for himself and not being a dumb frat boy he looks like a top level prospect. he led the bruins in pre-season scoring, he's leading the AHL in goals, and like you said, he scored in his first game after getting called up. he looks good, he looks like an nhl player rn.
The 2012 play offs were the last good playoffs.

I heard Sweeney made Jimmy Hayes lose weight too (He definitely visually looks thinner than when he was here but idk if it's actually true). Your madman GM just finds fat hockey players and puts them on a diet lol.

pongs my canadian chum
Also, rematch of that series when? I would kill to see the pongs lose to the Flyers yet again and watch them lose half their fanbase

mhm. hayes came into camp like 10 pounds lighter than he ever was in florida and he looks to be losing more ofc as the season goes on. i think they have him on a dietary plan. i was weary of that trade but he's been really good and he doesn't take nights off like smith does if things don't go his way. 11 points through 14 games right now and he's been up tempo and physical.

he's always been a spaz, it's a big part of why i like him
