They hosted a few years ago, and the NCAA said never again. It's nice enough for NESCAC conference games, but for a final four, no.

Based off media that was there, they were very much impressed with UWRF's hosting ability, and it obviously helped having two local teams in it with big fanbases. Amherst traveled pretty well for an east team too. Middlebury's turnout was very disappointing.
I feel that predetermined sites being every other year will be the move going forward, mirroring the men, as we're still in the trial period. Although I'm sure Plattsburgh's turn in 2027 means nothing is set in stone yet, but I expect them to do a good job.
If they go that route, there's definitely some excellent on-campus rinks that I believe would be great for the women's game if they go pre-determined.
River Falls, Middlebury, Plattsburgh, and Norwich are probably the best equipped.
In my opinion, the next two picks should be Gustavus and Oswego, as they have amazing facilities and athletic staffs.
I'd love to see St. Olaf get one. Their rink is brand spanking new, large enough (not huge), and like Gustavus, has a beautiful campus.
We'll see how St. Norberts' new rink turns out post-construction. Colby is also a great choice. Elmira's is a classic too, and obviously, Utica's Nexus Center is clearly on the table.

I remember seeing a massive Gustavus sign (so big it was like a banner) that read:
"Orr Rink is Small."

In the back of my head, I was thinking that... But I couldn't remember.

I still would love to see it attempted one time and have both the men’s and women’s FF at placid on same weekend.
One gender plays Thursday/Saturday and the other Friday/Sunday. The concession to make it work for ice time would be that the teams that do the morning skate the day of the game would have to do them at the 1932 rink instead of 1980.
Generally those aren’t full team practices anyway and it’s more a chance to test the legs or for the non-dressed to get some time.
I think it would be fantastic and a great celebration of D
