David I must add to your reasons the condition of the ice.  In the final
game of the WCHA there were literally several feet by one foot wide
patches of ice which has so terribly torn that I wondered how the puck
could possibly travel the ice without deflection.  The conditions at the
Civic Arena following the High School tourney is just awful.  This year
the good folks at the Civic Arena did a better job than last; however,
there is a lot of room to improve.
 
Let's  take it to Milwaukee or Green Bay.
 
Just a Yooper in da U.P. hopin', eh?
