I also expect there to be a UTC Regional in CT next year. The Newe England regional always fills up and that will only get worse as time goes on. A northern regional in NH and southern regional in CT just makes sense. I would not be surprised if one shows up in Boston at some point as well.
New Hampshire had 15 teams this year. But there are a number of schools who have had teams in the past that did not have them this year. I could see NH easily having 20 teams next year if the economy improves at all. That's almost half the number of teams at some of this years regionals. Add Vermont and Maine (both of which had very few teams this year but could be expected to have more next year) and you're pretty much there even without Mass which has a lot of teams; half of which might do to NH and half to CT.
UTC could fill up with CT, RI, PA some NY and half the MA teams.
And that doesn't even include the out of area teams who will want to come as a second regional.
Guess it's time to see if we can raise eenough money to go to two regionals next year. With no hotel costs for Manchester it becomes easier to think about. Bryan, BAE have any extra money?
