ya - problem is none of the schools have the facility at the moment and probably no where near having start-up costs. Maysa is decent but not sure it has enough seating. Heard a rumor a year or 2 ago that Mary wanted to add women's hockey and build a place on campus but of course just a rumor.
I was just trying to illustrate how unlucky we've been at times. Agree, didn't capitalize on some second chances but really got the raw end of the deal in the examples I mentioned. Does Duluth even get to OT had they had to play the night before and are the even playing? I guess they capitalized on our misfortune.
Nothing cheap about it. You also have to consider youth travel starting at squirts in many places. Hotels, meals, fuel, association fees plus equipment. Z71 Suburban's ain't cheap either.
How bout North and South combining to field a team? That is hard for me to comprehend schools of that size needing a coop. Bismarck did the right thing for growing the girls game. Sure it's not without growing pains but it was right for the growth of hockey.
That's too bad Omaha has been a staple in the USHL for many years. I'd rather see the USHL expand. It's going to be interesting with the USHL competing with the CHL as the NCAA pipeline.
