There are a couple different options that the WCHA is exploring, including playing opposite the Big 10 at the Joe and the X.

That would make some sense. I hope it happens.

They should!

Big Ten hockey causes all of this mess of conference realignment and goes and uses the CCHA and WCHA tournament venues for the next 4 years. Interesting.

Ah yes, the conspiracy theories arise. It's also possible that this was the best compromise that could be reached between Big Ten teams to ensure fairness for their own league, without any regard to where other leagues might play. Obviously the prestige of the conference removes any chance of having to compete for a venue with the WCHA, but I doubt they even bothered to think about what other leagues will do.

And this is the right way to go for the B1G. Both venues will be able to draw (mostly different) fans and produce good tournaments. I hope the non-annual nature of the sites won't damage the attendance.

Looks like the Big Ten is doing what it can to freeze out the new league. Curious to see what the new-look WCHA will do.
