Minnesota has a long tradition of hockey, primarily because of the more than 10,000 lakes, combined with the cold weather climate. This produces the perfect setting for young Minnesotans when it comes to learning how to play hockey at an early age.

Minnesota has more than 75,000 kids that play hockey, more than any other State in the country. It also has the largest High School Hockey tournament in the country. There are five Division 1 college hockey teams, and one professional hockey team.

In 2009, the Minnesota State Legislature officially declared Minnesota as "The State of Hockey". The United States Hockey Hall of Fame is located in Eveleth, MN.

Minnestoa's NHL team is the Minnesota Wild (who are currently in a senseless lockout along with the rest of the league). Minnesota's NCAA hockey team are the UM Golden Gophers and the UM-Duluth Bulldogs, who might make an attractive alternative for hickey starved Minnesotans this season.
