Minnesota.
@Howe, you may have missed the point of the question. Having the best hockey does not equate to having the best tournament. Any high school tournament that plays it’s final game in front of 20K spectators, and the game is sold out for future years, automatically qualifies as the best tournament in my book. Besides that, isn’t Michigan the state that ended the championship in a tie a few years back? I could be wrong about which state that was, but that state is automatically disqualified from contention for best tournament for that reason.
Minnesota, hands down. They are known as "the hockey state" and high school hockey there is unlike any other state in the U.S.

Wow, no one said Michigan, LOL. Michigan has MANY great programs. High school, college and pro. Minnesota is also very good. But if Detroit didn’t steal the name "Hockeytown" from them, they never would have came up with "State of Hockey". Burger King is a great name, but you really can’t believe that they are top royalty when it comes to burgers,,,it’s just a name, LOL. I’m not saying Michigan is better than Minnesota, just saying they are equal. Massachusetts is good too.
