The sites were selected by the respective sport
committees, which are made up of coaches and administrators from NCAA member
schools and conferences, and approved by the appropriate divisional
championships cabinets/committees.
“We are honored and excited to have been awarded the 2015
NCAA Men’s West Regional,” said UND Director of Athletics Brian Faison. “This
hosting opportunity is the result of a great team effort partnering UND with
Ralph Engelstad Arena and Scheels Arena.”
Scheels Arena is the home of the United States
Hockey League’s Fargo Force franchise. It has also previously hosted the 2009
IIHF World U18 Hockey Championship.
“Sheels Arena
will be a great venue for the 2015 NCAA West Regional tournament,” said UND head men’s hockey coach Dave Hakstol. “It’s a
first-class facility that is within driving distance for the fans of several
college hockey programs. The atmosphere in the building should be
second-to-none within regional competition.”
“We are confident that a NCAA Men’s West Region
Tournament will be a huge success in Fargo. Scheels Arena provides a great
off-campus location for a regional tournament and we look forward to the
tournament returning to North Dakota,” said Ralph Engelstad Arena general
manager Jody Hodgson.
