USA Hockey names its finalists for 2011 WJHC hosts

From Michael Russo of the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

USA Hockey announced today that it has narrowed the list of potential sites to host the 2011 International Ice Hockey Federation World Under-20 Championship to (alphabetical order): Buffalo, N.Y., Grand Forks, N.D., and Minneapolis – Saint Paul.

Read the entire entry from Russo’s Rants here.

Grand Forks was the last US city to host the event, so you would have to give the edge to Minneapolis-St. Paul and Buffalo.  To be honest, Minneapolis-St. Paul would be my choice to host the event.  The state loves its hockey, has a beautiful arena and the fan interest to go with it.
