If I wanted to be an entrepreneur and a hockey dad, Grand Forks would be a good place to be. But as much as I enjoy hockey, I also enjoy skiing, surfing, rafting, mountain biking, backpacking, and other outdoor pursuits you can't do anywhere near there. Heck, there's not even a good swimming spot on a river or lake in GF. Summer is nice, but that doesn't make up for 7 months of misery weather wise.
