TheNorth Star College Cup was amen's ice hockey tournament among the fiveNCAA Division I programs inMinnesota. The North Star College Cup was meant to maintain the long-standing rivalries among the Minnesota schools from when they competed together in the ClassicWCHA up until the 2013–2014 season.

The tournament lasts two rounds, with first-round opponents being rotated from year to year. The second round features the consolation game and the championship game. The University of Minnesota is the only permanent participant. The other four schools each rotate a year off.

History

[edit]

Prior to the 2013–2014 season, all the schools competed in theWCHA. However, several teams realigned their conference affiliations in 2013, after Minnesota joined theBig Ten. St. Cloud State and the University of Minnesota Duluth joined theNCHC. Minnesota State and Bemidji State remain together in what has been coined the “new-look WCHA”. The tournament is meant to maintain the rivalries among the Minnesota schools from the Classic WCHA.

The inaugural tournament was held at theXcel Energy Center inSt. Paul, Minnesota on January 24–25, 2014. Participating were the University of Minnesota, University of Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota State University, Mankato and St. Cloud State University.^[1]

Trophy

[edit]

The trophy consists of Minnesota-grown red oak and birch, as well as hickory wood historically used to make hockey sticks. Doug Johannsen ofRamsey, Minnesota crafted the cup, while Bill Durand ofAnoka, Minnesota constructed the base. A star is used between the cup and the base and shows the tournament logo on top of the base. The star includes acrylic color in addition to pucks for each individual school participating in the tournament. Sterling Trophy Inc. designed the cup and approached Johannsen and Durand to create the trophy, and laser engraved the tournament logo onto the cup as part of the final production.^[1]
