Re: 2019 USCHO Pairwise Predictor
To my knowledge, the only team actively bidding out west is North Dakota (Fargo and Sioux Falls). There is a substantial up front cost to be a host and the criteria for selecting a viable location is tricky. We all know that home sites aren’t considered anymore, and the NCAA prefers to not have a regional in an NHL arena, rather saving those for the frozen four. So what does that leave us with? Not a lot of options really.
