I like the current NCAA description of the event, "Not The
Final Four."  How about, "The Last Great Event On Earth"
with pardons to Iditarod fans.  Or, simply refer to the games
as what they really are, "Barkan Bash Intermission." !=^)
 
On a more factual note, Jeff Jackson is investigating the
possibility of having permanent offices for USA Hockey
in SE Michigan.  The three sites currently being looked at
are Ann Arbor, Canton and Troy.  I haven't followed this
thread too closely, but it sounds like the new (?) 16-18 year
old elite level US team is one candidate for playing in this
area.  Sounds good to me.
