Seattle is risky too but at least you can get cross border traffic from BC. Plus they have the arenas in Everett and Kent to use too.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

I'll bet Seattle could support a WJ on its own.

That's a good point, I did not realize the WJ tickets were expensive. The Winter Hawks crowd is very working class. You would also have to give us the US bracket because they hate, hate, HATE Canada.

Seattle/Vancouver would be cool but the Canadians aren’t big on sharing.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!
