Probably a better chance Minnesota wasn't interested and didn't want to go East or worse yet, St. Cloud

Better question, Do they get frustrated with the "lack" of talent at the international events?. Other than Canada, they don't really face a lot of talent. I would think US College hockey is much more competitive overall. Beating up on Russia, Switzerland and China can't be real fulfilling. Beating the gophers sure is!
