LOL. I was wondering the same thing. FWIW ... New Mexico is a very scenic state, but it looks like Gary, Indiana compared to northern Minnesota.
We played high school hockey with several Mesabi Range schools, including Virginia, Hibbing, Eveleth. Back then, these, along with Roseau, International Falls, Warroad, Baudette, to name a few, were Minnesota high school hockey power houses. They are still good, but not like the Minneapolis-St Paul schools. John Mariucci was from Eveleth, and the University of Minnesota hockey arena is named after him. The hockey arena I went to see, which is in my bucket list, is the “Ralph” in Grand Forks.
Also, it seems to me, that going from Edison High School in Minneapolis, to a Mesabi Range Junior College in Northern Minnesota, is a step down for her, unless it is a necessary step, toward coaching a major college, or professional team.
