I'm sure I'm going to regret jumping into this dumb conversation, but A) the moniker "State of Hockey" has little to do with professional hockey, and B) the fact that the North Stars left had little to do with the fan base in Minnesota.

Parise, no wonder the Gopher hockey program is quite a bit better than average.
Pro teams come and go.
Minnesota is hockey. We're arrogant because we're Minnesota.
I've never truly understood why anyone would have a US license plate...when they could have a Minnesota plate. Seriously. Minnesota really is at the top end of what the US brings to the table:
Minnesota had the top rated city in the country the past two years (Plymouth and Eden Prarie)...and 5 of the top 20 cities in the US this year (Money/CNN)
Minnesota has more Fortune 500 companies per capita than any other state. The state’s dynamic economy has increased the number of Fortune 500 companies from 14 in 2000 to 21 in the 2010 rankings.
Hennepin County in the Twin Cities ranks second nationwide in the number of new plants and expansions (48), according to 2010 rankings by Site Selection.
Minneapolis-St. Paul is America’s third-best city for young professionals, according to 2010 rankings by Forbes. Indicators for these rankings include cost of living, large companies, elite graduates, average income, and unemployment.
Minneapolis-St. Paul is the fourth-best metropolitan area for business, according to 2009 rankings by MarketWatch.
Minnesota is the fourth-most competitive state, based on 2009 rankings by the Beacon Hill Institute. The state ranks particularly high in human resources (second), public safety (third), and technology (fifth).
Minnesota residents rank fifth in labor force participation rates in the nation (71.9 percent), according to 2009 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Twin Cities metropolitan area ranks fifth among financial hubs in the country, according to a 2010 article by the Wall Street Journal Digital Network. The Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area is home to U.S. Bancorp, Ameriprise Financial and the Ninth District of the Federal Reserve System.
Minnesota ranks sixth in patents per capita in 2009, surpassing other high-tech states such as New York (15th), Texas (17th), and Illinois (19th), according to the Beacon Hill Institute.
Facts speak for themselves.

Wingah (legal USCHO name is winger, used to live on the east coast) hates pants. Her greeting to the board was "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Old USCHO meme.

Totally. The state of Minnesota tends to rank in the top five or ten on many important socioeconomic factors, hockey being one of them

The Lakers left because they didn't have set stadium to play in.
The North Stars left because they didn't have a NHL caliber stadium to play in.
The state of Minnesota really isn't a "pro" sports market more like Denver.
The lakers left there
The north stars left there
What more evidence does one need??
