The 2016 New England District Championship will be held at the XL Center in Hartford, CT. It currently is the home of the Hartford Wolf Pack Hockey Team, the AHL affiliated of the New York Rangers.

The XL Center also is the secondary home of the University of Connecticut's Champion Men's and Women's Basketball teams. This past season, UCONN's Men's Hockey Team moved their primary home to the XL Center as well.

While they're not currently tenants, the Hartford Civic Center (original name of the XL Center) was home for many years to the Hartford Whalers of the National Hockey Team. The Whalers is an iconic part of CT culture, and even though the team left for North Carolina in 1997, you'll see Whaler shirts all the time.

Needless to say a lot of exciting sporting events have gone down in this building, and it will be great to add the exciting DCMP action in April to it's legacy.
