| Come to Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota if you really love hockey culture.
Strangely enough my D started playing when we lived in the Detroit suburbs and continued on for 3 years in Wisconsin before we moved south.
Definitely good places to play hockey.
As to boarding prep opportunities in Detroit Cranbrook is a great school, but the girls HS hockey in Michigan (as opposed to club hockey which is excellent) is very weak.
Same can be said for University school in Milwaukee and Lake Forest Academy north of Chicago.
SSM is a hockey team with a prep school attached to it <grin>. Best HS hockey in the world perhaps. They are well stocked in goal.
Culver (Indiana) is another top spot, but they are overstocked with freshman goalies this season (3). I'd send D there in a minute, but too many goalies are too many unhappy goalies.
Unfortunately the South is hockey challenged, so I look where there are opportunities to improve my d's education and hockey opportunities.
