Hockey

My dad and I are going to the Thursday night Minnesota Wild hockey game against the Ottawa Senators - and we have never been to a Wild game before! What's your favorite part of a Minnesota Wild game?

BYO...Z?

The number-crunchers at SmartAsset.com took on the task of ranking the best hockey towns in America, and when all the math was done it turned out that three of the Top-10 puck-a-licious cities -- including St. Cloud -- are appropriately right here in the State of Hockey. Here's the list:

Fighting is part of the fabric of hockey, but this might be pushing it.

A pair of third period goals lifted #7 St. Cloud State University men's hockey (10-3-0, 5-1-0 NCHC) to a 3-2 win against the University of Minnesota (4-6-0, 0-0-0 B1G) last (Friday) night at Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis.

The number crunchers at WalletHub have put their pencils to the paper and did some calculating to figure out which cities in America are the best and worst for hockey fans. St. Paul came in at number six on the list; St. Cloud came in at number 61.

Jesse & Lucy took the Loon Morning Show on the road to Eveleth, Minnesota to see the biggest dang hockey stick and puck in the whole dang universe.

It's massive and it's right here in Minnesota, just a few ticks to the north.

Jesse & Lucy take over the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth, Minnesota! Get a sneak peek at just some of the things you can see at this awesome hockey museum.

Thursday morning, The Loon Morning Show will be live from the Hockey Hall of Fame in Eveleth, Minnesota. Here is the letter that inspired the trip.

It's a bit farther down on the list than I would have placed us, but according to SmartAsset.com, Saint Cloud has been named the 23rd Best Hockey Town in America -- based not just on hockey prevalence, but things like crime, unemployment, and quality of life were factored in too.

The Minnesota Wild lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night, falling 4-3 in overtime at the Pepsi Center.
