    I was told a few years ago by someone fairly high up with USA Hockey that the chance of GF hosting again are about zero. 

    Said when US gets the bid, much larger cities want it now and they can way outbid GF.  I saw somewhere that St Paul and the Xcel Center are looking to bid for the next its available. 

    I hear ya.  That's why I figure GF would have to be the "Junior" host city, with Winnipeg being the primary host city.  Moncton, NB population is 79k, so not much different than GF.  Hockey enthusiasm would be on par, perhaps better in GF.

    "Record crowd of 10,000" and some at Scotiabank or whatever its called.  Would be cool to see Grand Forks host the tournament again.  Add on Scheels arena as the second venue and you've got yourself a WJC.

    I've long thought a joint Grand Forks / Winnipeg hosting would be awesome.

    This would be huge!!

    It's the way it should be.  Even if we had hosted by a higher bid this year, I would still say that.  I like the direction this is heading.  Looks like the egregious error made by a few on the committee will have a positive outcome.

    I don't really pay attention to that stuff, so I have no idea.

    I honestly couldn't even tell you another by name.  Just that when recruiting Wisconsin, I am sure it helps to have the OC from there.

    Freund being from that neck of the woods sure doesn't hurt right now. 

    I've thought about that before, and not just with this kid.  But especially with this kid, both being QBs.

    This whole first round deal benefited one team the most....NDSU! Just look at that bracket and tell me I'm wrong?

    Totally agree.  I mentioned somewhere else that there's no way anybody else on the committee should have gone along with putting NDSU and SDSU on the opposite side of the bracket.
