Normally, I don't get crazy about a lot of the blogs that debut here at SBNation.  It's nothing against any of the people that write for said blogs or anything. . .after all, there's no such thing as a "bad" writer or a "bad" site here at SBNation.  It's just that we have most of the teams I follow already covered.

But, in this case, I'm quite willing to make an exception.

In the State of Hockey came online just a couple of days ago, and will be YOUR best source for everything relating to the Minnesota Wild.  So, after a long wait, the team that represents the greatest hockey state in the country finally has a site on the best network of sports blogs in the world.

Between this site, In the State of Hockey, and the folks over at Twinkie Town, SBNation now has all of Minnesota's professional sports teams covered!  Pretty sweet deal, if you ask me.

(Yes, I realize there is no SBNation blog for the Timberwolves.  Frankly, I barely consider the Timberwolves to be a professional basketball team, so it's all good.)

And the first big announcement from In the State of Hockey?  The Wild are going to have new uniforms this year!  They'll be available in stores later this week. . .7 September, to be exact.  I can't wait to see them.

So yes, do yourself a favor and head over to In the State of Hockey and check it out!
