There's another problem with it, too, relating to accomodations - you'd be
hard pressed to put up four teams, fans, officials and assorted hangers-on
in some locations.  Potsdam, Canton and Hamilton come to mind, though I'm
sure some other towns would have the same problem.  Not to mention (lack
of) public transportation...  The nearest airports to the North Country are
Syracuse (2 hours) and Ottawa (1 hour plus an international
boundary).  Hamilton is not much better, nor is Hanover.  And Albany
Airport isn't outstanding with scheduled service.

This is not to pick on ECAC schools; it's just what I'm familiar with...
