I really don't think that this should be a discussion about Canadian players versus U.S. players. Minnesota's policy is to not recruit non-Minnesotian players. If that's the way that they want to conduct business, fine. But I don't think think that you can fault schools for using players from out of state. I'm sure there are alot of players with Div I potential who would rather play for a school with more exposure than their local Div III program. Minnesota, unlike many states has an abundance of hockey players. Even though they may be on a golf scholarship.
