All MN college tournament

So they are still trying to name the tournament and I think we need to give them ideas.

I figure Boston has the Beanpot so how about:

Tater Tot Hot Dish

Lutefisk Luau

Spam Soiree

The North Star Cup

The Bunyan Cup

Minnie Trophy

Herb Brooks Trophy

Who are we kidding? It will be called the Target Tourney

Good Point.

The North Star Cup is a pretty awesome name!

Might be fun to hold that during Hockey Day MN weekend, name it something around that.

I keep hoping the Stars either get contracted or move out of Dallas so we can buy the North Stars name back. I'm a Wild fan but the name is terrible.

Bring it back

Already have a great Tim Young green North Stars jersey and a plain white one ready to go! I still love the North Stars logo and name!

So I see that the U of M would play every year and the other 4 teams would rotate (3 years in, 1 year out). I do think that is a shame to not include all 5 every year. Couldn't they just give the highest Top 25 ranked team the early bye so you could play one on Fri, two on Sat, and a Sunday championship? I'd rather see all 5 teams have a shot at it. 3 conferences represented.

OR

Invite UND to play (ruins the Minnesota thing but adds a lot of fans/excitement to the tourney!) Play 2 fri and sat, championship sunday (even a 3rd place game possibly) It doesn't get much better than the possibility of UND vs Minnesota plus they are rivals with Bemidji State and Duluth as well!

The Walleye Cup Championship

The Ice Cup Championship

The Winter Carnival Cup

It would be nice if it was held during the winter carnival. Although it might be a traffic mess downtown.

I like this idea, maybe they could wear high school jerseys from East Grand Forks.

Chances are if the player isn't Canadian he's Minnesotan. So why not UND. Since dump Ten hockey starts soon, maybe there should be a new holiday classic with UND, UW, UM and UND. That could be fun.

You guys owe us like 100-150 Potulny and Irmens and we will call it even.
