Erik has correctly summarized the upcoming NC$$ finals, assuming the 1999 date
is correct.
 
>The schedule for the next several years, if I have it correctly, is:
 
>1994  St. Paul
>1995  Providence
>1996  Cincinnati
>1997  Milwaukee
>1998  Boston
>1999  Anaheim
 
A question, and two comments.
1.Does anyone have an idea of how/who/on what basis these selections are made?
Albany has been struggling to find events with which to fill the Knick, and
college hockey is a very major priority.  Yet there hasn't been anything in the
Albany press about how its bid has fared.  And I know that a return of the
NC$$'s to Albany remains the overriding goal of the local sports booster club.
Isn't there some kind of convention where bids are presented?  Or should I
assume the whole process is nothing but politics and money.  :-|
 
2. Although I know Mike doesn't agree, the NC$$ uses a rotation in siting the
phinal phour with the East getting the tournament every third year.  It used to
be East, Joe Louis, West, but the Joe has seemed to lost some of its allure.
The 2000 tournament will go to Michigan or Ohio, 2001 will be back here in the
East, preferably Albany.
 
3. Anaheim?  Is there a single college in California that plays hockey?  Who
will attend the tournament?  Is this really the pilot for a sequel to Walt
Disney's Mighty Ducks, with the kids having grown up and opted for college
instead of the Junior A's? (no slight intended to Stan out there in Southern
California)
