Jennifer L.Iwen said that the MN-Wisc rivalry is bigger than the MN-ND
rivalry, well I am from Minnesota and have friends that play for all
these teams and I tell you that no rivalry is bigger than the Minnesota
- St. Cloud one.  It goes beyond being close to each other or history.
The gophers get the top MN players in the state and the MN players that
play for St. Cloud realize this and every time St. Cloud and the gophers
battle, they really battle and so do the fans.  Most other colleges have
rosters full of Canadiens and since the St. Cloud- MN rivalry is mostly
with Minnesotans vs Minnesotans, it is even better.  It is the biggest
rivalry in College Hockey.
