Just for that, Rochester gets lumped in with Ontario. We'll call it the "Poutine and Snow" region. Getcha passports ready! :-)
Clevelanders use the term "North Coast" to describe the region near the Lake Erie coastline all the time. The area around the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is called "North Coast Harbor". I've always thought it was a cool term.

Implementing six districts in these areas (2 in IL, IN, and OH), seems fairly realistic.
Work would definitely need to be done and it is probably a two-year project...but I think it can happen.
The planning resources/team support/FIRST experience is definitely there.

I'd support this region. It would even have its own chant:
I-K.................I-O!!!!
If this region ever formed, I'd argue strongly for a team's ability to attend events in another region, primarily for the sake of the Pittsburgh Regional, which draws many of its participants from Ohio.
