I know that Michigan hockey is pretty popular...they once had a sellout-crowd in a 100,000 seat football stadium (the ice was set up in the middle of the field). In Edmonton on the 24th, I think, there is going to be another game like that in Commonwealth Stadium where the Edmonton Eskimos play, which seats about 65,000. It sold out in no time.
I also understand that Minnesota hockey is pretty competetive and popular...well, competitive enough to compete on a Candian level. :)
DMiller-At a Major Midget (AAA hockey, the highest level of minor hockey there is) tournament in Calgary, Team Illinois (how many million people does Illinois have? Is it close to 10?) played in the finals against Price Albert, Saskatchewan (30, 000 people approx.) and beat them by one goal (earlier on in the tourny however PA did beat Team Illinois). Puh. Damn Illinoians...have to send and all star team to beat the likes of a tiny city of Prince Albert. (that's right, greedy Illinoian punks)
