Chicago has put in a bid for 2018 WJC (upd: not a finalist)

BMO is not large enough, they wouldn't bring it to Rockford.

Its not, but it doesn't stop me from wanting that to happen

St. Louis has to be the earliest odd man out in this conversation. Anyone else getting the world juniors wouldn't surprise me in the least, even Tampa Bay has experience with major tournaments from their prior hosting of the Frozen Four (different animal, I know) and from the fact that it'd make for a nice winter destination.

We'll find out more in about two months as they narrow the field down a bit.

Looks like Chicago was eliminated (or withdrew) from contention:

I bet it's Buffalo. They will want Canadians being able to make it so there is actually people in the stands.

Darn, that's a damn shame. I was really gunning for us to host them.

Truth be told, actually quite surprised that we weren't even a finalist.
