Schwang17 Said: I played against TJ Oshie in high school. He is from Washington but his family recruited him to play in the tiny tight-knit community of Warroad, MN(Pop. 1,655). They made it to the State Tournament all 4 years he played with Oshie being named to the All-Tournament Team all 4 years.
Warroad has alot of hockey tradition and is one of the best hockey communities in the nation despite its size. They also have 1 of the best high school hockey rivalries in the nation with Roseau, MN. Together, the two small Minnesota towns - who reside 20 miles apart from each other - have combined to win 18 State Championships in the last 50 years. They start out playing against each other as little kids all the way up through high school, and many of them are related to each other and are friends, but that all gets put aside once they get on the ice
