UMICH, DUH!!! Are you that naïve that you don't understood I knew EXACTLY who the answer to my question was?

And his response came FOUR DAYS after that name was already posted in this very thread.

Yeah, but it hits some FAR MORE than others. An example of this is that there are as Many former Gophers in the NHL right now, as there are former players from all of the other 4 Minnesota based schools COMBINED. UMn has 25, SCSU, UMD, BSU & Mankato combined have 25. And apparently the former Gophers are much better, too, as the 20 former Gophers who have scored have scored well over DOUBLE what the 20 former players from those other 4 have scored, and if you only look at players that left early, it might be as much as TRIPLE.

566 to 220. UMn's #s would only drop to 558 if you looked only at those who left school early. I doubt the other 4 schools can say the same.

Too bad they couldn't score like that when they were at UMTC, eh? Maybe there would be more hardware in the Mooch.

I'd say

3 in the Hockey Hall of Fame (any other school with more than 1?)

15 in the US Hockey Hall of Fame (any other school with more than 7?)

13 with GOLD medals (any other school with more than 4?)

19 with Silver medals (and other school with more than 7?)

well more than TWICE AS MANY Olympians than any other school (73 to what? 34 for Wisconsin? 27 for UND??)


55 NCAA wins, more than any other school. (Michigan, if they win the Title this year would tie UMN)

37 NCAA appearances, more than any other school other than Michigan.


I'd say UMn has PLENTY of hardware. And I haven't even mentioned women's hockey, lol.


Btw, UMn's grads have scored at least 573 points in the NHL this year. Any other school able to come even close to matching that???
