Canadians...can I get an honest, unbias hockey power ranking for U.S. states?

Being from Erie, PA (Mercyhurst College) with Pennsylvania having no place on this list, I agree with you for the most part. The fact that Michigan has a couple OHL teams and a truckload of competitive D-1 Schools, I'd say they are at the top. Minnesota isnt far behind, but when you weigh U. Mich against the Gophers, it will lean towards the Maize and Blue every time... Red Wings v. Wild, obvious and I HATE the wings. I'm not so sure about Connecticut and Illinois being second tier. I would lump them along with Pennsylvania before I'd rank them near wisconsin or Colorado
