Very similar to the HS Football debate.

Florida will always say they have great football teams, until they play Texas teams.

Minnesota is still the topest of the top echelon.

That's only why 18/20 top HS Hockey teams in the US right now are from MN.

United States Boys High School Hockey Rankings

In fact, I don't even see any teams from the Grand Rapids area ranked.

I guess, that Grand Rapids, MN CANNOT comptete with anything in MN in terms of Hockey.

My fiance and I are planning to relocate to the Dakota County area(Apple Valley and surrounding areas). Haven't decided where exactly yet.He is a paramedic and I was wondering if anyone can give me some info on the EMS services there. Are they metro meaning fire/emt or is the fire department and EMS separate from each other. I have been online searching for websites that give this information, but haven't found what I need to know.

Hey, now. Far be it from me as a Lake Conference alum to defend da Range, but the Halloween Machine has occasionally produced good teams.

There's a reason Sidney Crosby and Wayne Gretzky's son played high school hockey here and not in Michigan, Maine, Massachusetts, etc.

My point is that GR isn't just any other city, they are very good at hockey just like most of MN.
