North Dakota-Minnesota rivalry has changed, but still nothing beats it
Some rivalries outlive the structures that built them. North Dakota and Minnesota no longer share a conference or play for standings, but when the puck drops in Grand Forks this weekend, none of that will matter. The history — the Vanek-Parise duels, the overtime goals, the noise — still echoes every time they meet. Rosters change, arenas evolve, but the energy remains constant. This weekend the rivalry renews itself in Grand Forks. This article from Brad Elliott Schlossman writing for the Grand Forks Herald is your primer.
