    What would they need to do to get that level of certification?

      Yeah! That's not going to happen, has about as much of a chance happening as I do of becoming a prince. We have been talking about the big ten hockey conference for a very long time and we are the same place we were before about 15 years ago. No where.

          So... why talk about the six states with the most NHLers... then only make teams for four of them? It's not like they didn't dig into AHL/Minors for any of the other teams...
          If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

          BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!


          At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."

          Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

            In an earlier post (which was in response to your guess as to which were the 6 states that produced the most U.S. born players) I said that the bulk of players came from the first four states.

            However as per your request I attempted to put together separate Team Illinois & Team Wisconsin but was unable to really get anything that could compete against any other teams in this 'fantasy' scenario. But by putting them together, Illinois had the goalies/defence and Wisconsin had the better forwards I was able to put a team together.

            Will post it tomm.

              Ok here you go Team Illinois/Team Wisconsin:

              Since these two states border each other, why not combine the two and see what kind of team we could have. (as could be seen with Team Maritimes, when you don’t have enough players from one region, why not combine).

              So without further ado, here is Team Illisconsin.

              Coach: Tony Granato. Despite his recent demotion/promotion, I’m giving the pride of Downers Grove, Illinois the head coaching mantle. He is a perfect choice to lead this mixed squad. He played for the University of Wisconsin and he was born and raised in Illinois.

              Goalies:

              1. Craig Anderson (IL)

              2. Al Montoya (IL)

              3. Tyler Plante (WI)
              For a complete look at Team Illinois/Team Wisconsin.
