Minnesota isn’t called the “State of Hockey” by accident. This northern state has produced more NHL players per capita than anywhere else in the United States, with a rich high school hockey tradition that has launched countless professional careers. From small-town rinks to the legendary Twin Cities programs, Minnesota high schools have served as proving grounds for some of the game’s greatest talents—including over 300 players who have reached the NHL since the league’s inception.
