My apologies for the non-collegiate thread, but I
mistakenly started this...
 
I haven't been following the story very closely, but
my naive understanding is that Jeff Jackson and some
of his staff would have offices in SE Michigan.  I believe
this will have very little effect on the activities at Colorado
Springs.  I *assume* that players invited to the WJC camp
and such would now report to the SE Michigan facility.
(For example, I believe the 1995 WJC camp was in Lake
Placid NY.)  Also, the Ann Arbor location being considered
is not Yost Arena...home of the Michigan Wolverines...it is
the AA Ice Cube, a relatively new three rink (one Olympic
size, two NHL size) complex in town.  The Cube offers
many positives, with the major negative being insufficient
spectator seating (currently about 800) if any Team USA
games were to be held at the SE Michigan site.  (Another
major negative of the Cube is that they only allow one
puck on their air hockey tables at a time, but that's another
story. :-)
 
Since this isn't Hockey-L related material, I suggest than
anyone wishing to follow this thread keep an eye on the
