Redevelopment of the Kingsbridge Armory in the Bronx to possibly include nine rinks, one with 5,000 seats.  Hockey in the Bronx?  Anyone?

I certainly beats Placid!

CUNY Lehman can replace Quinnipiac when they bolt to HE.

They're going to have to Robert Moses about 500 homes to build parking.  Right now there's zippo.

It's not that far from Columbia's athletic facilities.  Maybe it could be home to the Skating Lions.

Personally, I would find it fantastic if Penn brought their program back and Columbia started a D-I program.  Even beyond Yale's recent championship, I think the past 10-12 years featuring strong teams from Cornell and Harvard and even Princeton have shown that schools with Ivy League restrictions (and advantages, to be fair) can be competitive on a national scale, and a fully participating Ivy League would be all the more entertaining because of this.  Plus it could open up a legitimate conversation about having our tournament in NYC if a local team were part of the conference.

(Yes, I know this is all pipe dreams and hypotheticals, but that's what the offseason is for.)

Having NYC and Philly in the conference wouldn't hurt our exposure, either.

Thopugh it might giove someone the thought of having the tournament in AC again.  ::doh::

I can imagine the thought process there:

"You know what's awesome? NEW YORK CITY. It has tons of great restaurants, attractions for families, lots to do when the tournament is not in session, it's not too far from any ECAC school (except perhaps Clarkson and SLU, which are far from everything), lots of decent hotels a few miles out for people who can't afford $200/night, public transit for the convenience of visitors, and a built-in fan base comprising alumni from every school.

"But we can't afford NYC. So, how about Atlantic City? It's only two hours from NYC!"

Ugh.

NYC doesn't have skiing.  And Lake Placid is only 1 1/2 hrs from my house in Vermont :-)

It's just one winter.
