I would agree with all the "Roseau-Warroad" chat but being that I played for Grand Rapids, I'm going to have to go with Greenway and Grand Rapids. However, the rivalry isn't near as storied as it once was.

Yes, the Warroad-Roseau rivalry was big, but as I played for Greenway in the late 70's, I'll go with Greenway-Grand Rapids. The tickets would go on sale the day before, and the games would sell out in an hour. It was a blast, stepping out onto our ice or theirs, the building was packed and loud, and always hard fought games, although G-R had the edge on us those years. As papabear said, alot of us knew each other, or at least saw each other around quite a bit.

agreed on the roseau vs. warroad but in this state, that's almost a given answer! in the cities, i'd agree with Rinc's kennedy vs. jefferson vote and would have to also add in cooper vs. armstrong. that's always a packed house and (at least when i was at armstrong 12+ years ago) almost always would turn into some 'good' fisticuffs on AND off the ice.

Had to love stepping onto "The Snake Pit's" ice.

Looks like Roseau took this round. Warroad having a down year?

I. Falls never had much for rivalrys cause they hardly lost a game in the 60's and 70's....today their only rivalry would be with Fort Francis, Ontario since they are so close....Man we use to hate those guys.

The Elk River-Moorhead battles of the mid to late 90's were awesome!! I was also at that game that went 4 OTs....I missed the first 3 periods as we had a traveling basketball game at Hallenbeck Hall then walked over to the hockey game and watched over 3 periods of scoreless hockey until Cullen I believe scored the winning goal....good memories!!

The Falls improved to 50-0 all time against Ely Tuesday night.

Was anyone else at the 1996 state tourney when Apple Valley beat Duluth East in 5 o.t.'s?
