They'll play at U of m for 2 seasons before the new rink is complete.

I was thinking the same thing. Bell MTS and the new rink will be a perfect fit. Team Canada's group play out of Bell MTS and the other group can play out of the new rink.

I wonder how those two rinks would compare to other recent host cities? Will 4500 seats be enough for ticket sales? How many people actually go to a weekday afternoon game between Czech and Belarus? Likely those games are part of a ticket package.
