    Maybe they can get a rotation going between the two?

        I like that Idea - I like it a lot... alternating Beavers and Gophers works for me ;-)

          Has the Pepsi Center ever been mentioned as in play seeing as how Denver was the architect of the abomination called the National Collegiate Hockey Conference? Maybe an alternation with the X and Pepsi Center.

            I think the Target Center would be a good move for the NCHC, though going against the B1G straight-up might hurt it in competition for the casual hockey fan dollar. Western sends some fans to the Joe when they get there, so they'll be on the short end, but Miami doesn't travel well and neither have fan bases large enough to justify moving the NCHC championship away from its core constituency.

            I'm generally in favor of the realignment that has happened (remember the alignment debates we used to have before this all went down?) but there is no question that Stack's lament is accurate. The loss of the Final Five is sad for everyone who loves college hockey. It was one of the crown jewels of college hockey. Whether you consider it a painful but necessary sacrifice or capital murder is a different story.

              JLA is an absolutely asinine site for anyone not called the Big Ten. You're going to anchor your conference tournament every other year in a location with two schools within 300 miles and everyone else 8+ hours or a flight away? I'm not even certain Illich picks up the phone if you call.

                Even Western's numbers at the Joe this year seemed to be way down from their impressive showing in 2011. Both schools knew what they were getting themselves into, but 10 and 12 hour drives are pretty unfortunate for our fan bases.

                  You mean Penn State and Barry Alvarez don't you? There's one hockey school in the Big 10 that had nothing to do with it.

                    You guys constantly bring this up like you want some sort of award or honor for it. You were as effective in defense as the Dutch army in WWII. Congrats.

                      That's brilliant. Nearly lost my coffee.

                          The Joe and the X are the most reasonable choices. I thought the WCHA Final 5 was at it's best when it alternated between St Paul and Milwaukee. I for one will be at the games in St Paul. I am hoping that there is only one game on Thursday and a third place game on Saturday. (Like the 5 games at the WCHA Final 5 a few years back) Go Bucky!

                            You sad you'd like to see the NCHC at the Target center every other year. Where do you want to be the other year? The X when the Big Ten aren't there or are you thinking of some other location?

                            Pesonally I'd prefer a permanent site and just leave it like that. There was talk about a rotation between the Twin Cities, Denver, and Omaha. Hey I like Denver and Omaha but it is so nice to have it at the same place every year so you can plan accordingly.
