Every Minnesotan breathes Gopher hockey. It's part of the culture.
And in reply to dangermicke's comment about the players coming from Canada and being older... the Gophers primarily recruit born and bred Minnesotans (there was only 2 "foreigners" on the team-Potulny from ND and Vanek from Austria), and this past year had the second YOUNGEST team in the country (avg age was 20.9).
MN IS the STATE OF HOCKEY. Congratulations to the Gophers and I can't wait for the next season!!
