High School Hockey Online ranks the top 1500+ teams in the United States. The number one ranked team is from Edina, MN. Eight of the top ten are from Minnesota, one is from Michigan, and one is from New Jersey. Of the top 20 teams in the US, 16 are from Minnesota. United States Boys High School Hockey Rankings
Where do most college hockey players come from? You guessed it, Minnesota. According to USA Hockey, Minnesota produces the most Division 1 hockey players; slightly more than 40% of Division 1 hockey players are Minnesotans.
Minnesota also has the highest number of players drafted by NHL teams every year.
BTW, Warroad, MN had been calling itself Hockeytown U.S.A. long before Detroit started using the title.
Okay, after seeing some of these lists I will concede that Minnesota wins for hockey.

I think I would place Texas in the baseball category. I also would put Maryland in the Basketball one as well.
Baseball: New York (and Massachusetts)
Football: Texas (and the South/Midwest)
Soccer: ?
Basketball: Any state with a heavily populated city (NYC, LA, Chicago etc)
Lacrosse: Maryland (and New England)
Hockey: Canada (and the Midwest)
Golf: ?
NASCAR: (any state with a track, except New York and Delaware which is pretty much the entire South)
Mud-wrassling: West Virginia

Texas televises them as well. They have a night show every Friday night showing the highlights of various games throughout the state. I lived in Florida for one year (Miami) and I have to say that the atmosphere of a high school game is why I put Texas ahead of it. Florida is talented no doubt. But the experience is dull.
In the orlando area they do the same nightly Friday night shows showing highlights from all the local schools here too, plus every local news station picks one high school every week to televise, they usually pick like 3 high schools and put a poll up on there website for ppl to vote for there hs. Also our local chick fil a resturants do a "chick fil a bowl" which is when chick fil a picks a HS football game and gives a giant chick fil a trophy to the winning school and the trophy gets placed in the HS's local chick fil a. and the same two schools fight for that trophy every year to go in there chick fil a. And ofcourse the huge traditional rival games bring out whole communities every season.
