Having moved to Minnesota six years ago, I have seen the amazing interest in hockey at the high school, college, and professional level in The State of Hockey. One of the most impressive demonstrations of this fever is the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament which was played this week. The games are held at Xcel Energy Center, the same venue where the Minnesota Wild of the NHL play their home games. It much be an incredible experience for high school kids to step onto that ice and play their games which fill the arena with thousands of screaming fans. The tournament is a spectacle and I've gained huge respect for the players and coaches who work for years to get a chance to be part of the event.
