So there is a thread out there that proclaims the Minn vs. Wisc to be the "greatest rivalry"...I bet we can come up with some others that would argue against that supposition. In my own experience I'd nominate: Clarkson v. St. Lawrence. Why you ask? Well with 178 games contested between the two and a series going back to 1925 these two school, which are only a mere 10 miles apart, fiercely compete for North Country bragging rights. Or what about Cornell v. Harvard? A rivalry dating back to 1910 and has a movie line to boot. Others??

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
Why not ECAC? Just because there may be stronger leagues don't neccessarily make for better rivalries... To wit...Army v. Navy football. Easy to find a better football game...never will you find a better rivalry.Lets Go Tech!!!

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
It AIN'T Minnesota-Wisconsin, that's for darn sure.
Remember the year, not too long ago, when the Gophers and Badgers met in the third place game of the WCHA Final Five and the Gophers "had nothing to play for," so they called the game meaningless and took the game off and got whooped by Wisconsin, who came to play a rival. The Gophers went on, I believe, to one of their NCAA performances that make Sioux fans buy tee shirts and hockey jerseys of teams they probably never heard of before!
So, if a team can flat out take off a game against a "rival," it sure can't be the best rivalry in all of the sport!

Re: Best Rivalry in College Hockey???
If neither Minnesota-Wisconsin nor Minnesota-UND can be definitively said to even be Minnesota's biggest rivalry, I don't see how it can even be argued that either is the biggest in all of college hockey.Cornell University Men's Hockey
