Re: WCHA Pushing To Team With Big Ten, NCHC For Conference Tournaments
The trick for Michigan would be finding the right location for a dual conference tournaments. The new Redwings arena would be a logical option for one of them, but where would you have another tournament at?? The Palace is another great venue, but its about 30 miles away. I just don't see crazy hockey fans going through all of the hassle of traveling to one of the venues and then tacking on another 30 miles to a whole other venue. Unless you have a lot of fans that are in the Royal Oak/Bloomfield Hills area, it really wouldn't work.
Its kind of a shame that Detroit doesn't still have the Cobo Arena. Something like that would work nicely for an event like this. The Joe with the new arena would work, but I believe the word is that the Joe is likely to be visited by the wrecking ball. Highly doubtful they would cut it down to being about a 10,000 seat arena that can still have ice in it.
