Is there a reason Dallas continues to participate in the TC tournament? I feel like they could theoretically hold their own at their Frisco facility and save money, no?
Jim Nill was in Detroit when they founded the tournament in Traverse City, he's a big believer I in it. I think the Stars will get into a rotation of hosting their own/sharing with others someday, but not while Nill is in charge.
personally I hope they stay in Traverse for a long time (makes my life easier!), just a reality of me knowing how the front office/economics in Dallas work a little bit for those outside of Nill's office.
Any word on how Lian Bichsel has looked? He reportedly just started skating with teammates this past week after his May ankle fracture surgery.
I'm looking forward to seeing how he looks in Traverse, ankles are tricky, so it's hard to tell outside of game environment.

Nothing wring with tradition and it's not like the saved money will find its way onto the ice. Have your kids play the best teams possible.

I am looking forward to my first visit to Traverse City for next year's tournament.
great place to visit, I can give recommendations when you do make the trip
