The NCAA released the list of 10 finalists to host the 2015 through 2018 men’s Frozen Fours<\/a> on Wednesday, and we asked our followers on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> which of those sites they would most like to see host the event.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the responses:<\/p>\n

@USCHO<\/a> my guess with Pegula funding Penn States program and the brand new @HARBORCTR<\/a> opening in 2015 Buffalo gets 2015 or 2016<\/p>\n

— Jason Leisten (@jason_bluegold) October 30, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

@USCHO<\/a> Minnesota! Because they will actually have a hockey atmosphere there!<\/p>\n

— Stephen Minnesota (@mymetrodome83) October 30, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

@USCHO<\/a> Chicago. New site and great city.<\/p>\n

— Melissa Wade (@HockeyPhotos) October 30, 2013<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And from our Facebook page, these comments:<\/p>\n

By Adam Slander:<\/p>\n

Should be played at the X in St Paul every year. Just like college baseball have it a one location every year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By Thomas Schmeh:<\/p>\n

after all this time, was hoping that the sites would be more exciting (i.e. – new and different)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By Phil Squattrito:<\/p>\n

My choices would be Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Columbus and St. Paul. They’re smaller cities that are within driving distance of a lot of college hockey fans.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’ll know which sites get selected when the announcements are made on Dec. 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
