      I believe it is because no one "wants to" - that is it is in no one's job description.

      I do agree that approaching it from a conference level would significantly increase the resources available - manpower and locations - but that to makes too much sense.

        Didn’t Potsdam and Plattsburgh co-host the finals at Lake Placid? It’s possible I’m misremembering but I think it’s possible for more than one school to share the responsibility.

        The whole thing should be managed centrally by the NCAA. The current system where the responsibility is outsourced to whoever is willing is not great.

          The New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) and State University of New York College at Plattsburgh (SUNY Plattsburgh) were the co-hosts of the two tournaments in 2012 and 2013 - and I doubt there is anything beyond apathy that is preventing more "co-hosting" and/or conference hosting.

                The Arena holds 7,286. It is regulation size. My son played for Jonhstown in the NA. They played the Aston,Philadelphia, Jamestown Rebels the year they moved there from Aston. No parking, a tiny concession stand was open next to skate rental, half of bathrooms were locked. I could go on and on. The Iceworks which Neuman calls home was actually better than '23.

                      But what works out East?
                      Agganis? Matthews? Whittemore (200x100)?
                      Looked up Ridder and Plymouth and they look ideal. The ones in the east are too big. For atmosphere you need it smaller.

                      It really should be the NCAA that runs the tournament. If cost is an issue could a small surcharge be placed on each D3 player for the year and raise the funds that way?

                        I agree Agganis is probably too big. I actually really like the idea of Matthews from a historical perspective (sight lines are another story) but it may also be too big for the event.

                        Walter Brown Arena is probably a more appropriately sized option. There is also Bright Arena but I don't know if Harvard rents it out by the hour

                          The Glens Falls Civic Center in Glens Falls, NY may be a good fit. The State High School basketball playoffs were held there up until a couple years ago.

                            If they're going to do it in Glens Falls, they might as well use Lake Placid with all the history it has.

                              My one objection to Lake Placid is the ice size. Finals should be on 200x85.

                                I agree, but capacity at GF is around 4700 and is easier to get to with 4 exits off I87 directly to the Glens Falls area.
