AJS Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 16 hours ago, Sweethockey said: Next year the Midwest regional will be in Fargo. UND and The Ralph put in a bid for this year to try and get it in Grand Forks. The NCAA wouldn't bite, Denver put in a bid for Lovland. They get the West Regional this year and next. I might be overreacting, but I find that sort of attempt at trickery to be really gross. You have a good thing going in Fargo, why push it? I'm happy it backfired. I also wish this was more well known, they deserve backlash for it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbone Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 It’s pretty easy actually: West regional is in Loveland Co. this year and next year. Midwest regional is in Allentown Pa. this year and Fargo next year. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberkas Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Why doesn't Omaha bid for a regional, you'd think the NCHC higher ups would be trying to get schools to host the West and Midwest Regionals. Either both every year or at least one every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How were they to know that Loveland would start bidding on regionals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND vs Sacred Heart or AIC and Clarkson vs Providence in Worcester...sets up David vs Goliath. NCHC vs Atlantic Hockey in a regional hosted by Atlantic hockey. Unfriendly confines for us out East there for sure. DU vs Quinnipiac and BC vs UMD in Denver...region of death. Mankato vs Northeastern and PSI vs ASU in Allentown Cornell vs New Hampshire and UMass vs Ohio State in Albany. only stated rule being violated is #1 seeds being placed closest to home in rank order. Can’t do it with UND and DU, because DU is host. You could send UND to Allentown instead of Mankato, but it’s a flight either way. Better to keep bracket integrity... so it’s Worcester this week... Nate Wells from NCAA: Worcester Region (Worcester, MA - Host Holy Cross) 1. North Dakota vs. 16. American International 8. Clarkson vs. 9. Providence Albany Regional (Albany, NY - Host ECAC) 2.

And this would be true if it ends up being UND, Mankato, or any other western school not named Denver (since they host a regional). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gone to the West Regional for the last 4 years. Three times in Fargo and once in Sioux Falls. I have tickets for Loveland. It would be nice if UND were there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
