The logical place would be centrally located and where the NCHC Frozen Faceoff is played. I don't know how anyone could be against moving the headquarters to St Paul/Minneapolis.

Why is any corporate or organizational HQ located where it is? Guessing $$$ had a lot to do with it. Local tax incentives, perhaps. Maybe someone had an inside track on real estate/office leases. Maybe there was a critical mass of qualified or uniquely experienced workers nearby (think multiple D1 schools, USA Hockey, WCHA). Anywhere with an airline hub and a desirable place for staff to live would check most of the boxes. Colorado has long had a dynamic and thriving economy. Legal weed. Take your pick.

Well, now that I take a second to think about it, Minnesota is probably one of the worst places to have your business because of one of the highest corporate tax rates in the country.

You're not wrong, but that's of no concern to the NCHC. They file a Form 990 with the IRS; they are not for profit. As such, they pay no taxes. Any money they make they retain for expenses/costs or give back to the schools. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaMikeFoxtrot Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Corporations in MN are willing to pay higher taxes to pay harder workers less money than they would have to elsewhere. Minneapolis is the American middle class's last stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original Five-O was filmed in Hawaii and back then every CBS exec had to "check on production" and take a two-week junket (boondoggle) to the set. When Five-O was reaching it's useful life those CBS exec's paid Hawaiian vacations were going away. But lo-and-behold just as Five-O was going away, along comes a Texan with a fake British accent, a couple Doberman pinchers, a slickster named Rick, a chopper pilot, a Ferrari, ... and Tom Seleck's mustache. Magnum PI kept an excuse for CBS execs to go to the islands to "check on production" for about another decade. And gee-why were those shows 're-imagined" recently? <-- That's rhetorical. For NHL execs, especially the Canadian ones, Arizona in winter is "Hawaii 5-0/Magnum PI. " --> Gotta go and watch the team on the road ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
