Americans generally don't have a passion for hockey, but Minnesotans definately do. At the same time, its not like any hockey is just going to make people stop and drool. Even with no NHL you can still find as much hockey in Minnesota as ever, its barely a change for us. People follow high school hockey closer than anything, and there are four or five top division college hockey teams that people follow real closely too. The only major affiliation that this state has with the juniors is that O'Sullivan is in the Wild's farm system. This is the time of high school tournaments and everything else, so the junior championships aren't the highest priority for people here. Sorry if it doesn't live up to your Canadien standards, but thats just the way it is.
