Re: The New WCHA (2013-14)
The ESSAR Center is nice. Can be one hell of a wait to get back in from CA.
Ok here's a few more ideas.
I like holding it in the soo. There are quite a number of hockey fans in the soo, it's close to one of the schools, it's centrally located, and here's the kicker. How about Soo Canada. The essar center holds what 5000 fans, and it's a nice arena. Would be worth looking into as well. second idea. students don't normally pay much money to go to a playoff series, alumni do. So Van Andel being near alumni might work as long as it's not too expensive. I'm against the campus sites for the reasons beaver hockey mentioned plus a few more. I think you have to find a neutral site that can 1, not lose too much money, 2. be close enough to go to and 3, will be willing to work with the league to get local people in. Having in soo canada might do all of those things. The greyhounds might not like it but it's not their arena.
