GeauxSioux Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Bleacher Reports has a listing of the 50 Best Hockey Cities in North America. It's nice to see Grand Forks ranked at #20, but I can't believe that Oxford is #19. Edited January 26, 2012 by GeauxSioux Quote
ScottM Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Bleacher Reports has a listing of the 50 Best Hockey Cities in North America. It's nice to see UND ranked at #20, but I can't believe that Oxford is #19. The home of Miami University has developed one of the more potent hockey cultures in college hockey. Are they high? They put Oxford ahead of Duluth and Orono. I'm surprised they didn't throw South Bend into the mix, and help NBC suck up to the Golden Domers. Quote

No kidding, must be one heck of a hockey city when Miami can barely sell out their brand new, high-school sized arena. 1 Quote

GFG Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I find it ridiculous that Oxford is even in the top 40. Shouldn't Merrimack be in there then? Pretty sure they average the same amount of fans What a joke. I still think Minneaplis-St. Paul should be ahead of Detroit and competing with Boston. Definitely cant argue about Montreal and Toronto, though. Those are the top two in my opinion. Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Top College Hockey Towns, top 4 would be: 1.Boston 2.Grand Forks 3.Madison 4.Orono Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 It's BleacherReport.com. Any questions? Move along; nothing to see here. Quote
andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 These comparisons are always stupid because they never take into account how different different sized cities are. You just can't compare Toronto, Montreal, Boston, and the Twin Cities to cities like Grand Forks, Madison, and Regina. Also, you have small towns like Roseau, Grafton, Mordon, and etc. Those little towns have awesome hockey culture. Quote

siouxnews Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 the fact that any city in the US is above Vancouver on that list tells me all i need to know about the credibility of that list Quote
The Sicatoka Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 But it's the internet, man! It has to be true!!! The interwebs are just a passing fad. Quote
Blackheart Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 The interwebs are just a passing fad. Board the whole thing up. Quote
bienek Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Anyone can make a list and put it in any order they want. Just an opinion. Quote
