Re: The Top 25 College Hockey Teams of the NCAA Era
I grew up playing hockey in ND and unfortunately basketball and football have always been the top priority for parents and fans. ND really doesn't have the population to support recruiting only in ND and also didn't have the amount of interest in the sport to create a talent pool deep enough for college hockey. Hockey has been climbing even in my home town when I played if we wanted extra ice time we had to play at our only outdoor rink that had terrible ice and holes in the boards. Now the kids have decent coaching and the hockey club has tons of money to put into the program including paying for shinny hockey 2-3 hours per day for any kids who want to play. I am grateful to the state of Minnesota for all it has done for hockey in the United States and they deserve credit for all of the hard work.
