Hi everyone, I am new to this list and thought that I would put my two cents worth into the current Detroit discussion. I agree with Bri, why give Detroit another chance? It doesn't help college hockey much having playoff games in a half empty arena. It also takes away from the excitement of the game. One thing that makes college hockey so great is the crowd. Another option for the west regional in the future would be Milwaukee. I think the people of Milwaukee have shown that they support college hockey due to the NC$$ finals being sold out there already. In addition, the Bradley Center is a first class facility that was built for hockey. I disagree with having the regionals on campus sites. For one thing, the facilities on most college campuses are not large enough. I also think that college hockey gets more exposure if the regionals are held off campus. I also have to disagree with Paul Marchant's assessment of why hockey is so big in Wisc. and Minn. The basetball teams at both schools also enjoy great fan support. I am not totally sure about Wisconsin but I do know that Minn. has near sell-out crowds at all bigten basketball games. From what I have seen on T.V., the Wisconsin games seem to be near sell-outs also. In addition, when you have 30,000 to 40,000 students, I think there should be enough to show stong support for both hockey and basketball. I am a big Wisconsin Badger fan so add another name to the list of WCHA fans. Tim Johnson Let's go BIG RED !!!!! Sieve! Sieve! Sieve!
