The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (U of M or The U) is the oldest and largest part of the University of Minnesota system. The nickname of the University of Minnesota is the Golden Gophers.

Minnesota's sports teams mostly play in the Big Ten Conference. The men's and women's ice hockey teams play in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA). In July 2013, the men's team will leave the WCHA because the Big Ten will add men's hockey, while the women's team will stay in the WCHA.
