Ralph Engelstad Arena does have a history of holding some big hockey events. It hosted the 2005 World Junior Championships, the 2016 World Under-18 Championships and is the home of the University of North Dakota hockey team.
Friedman wrote that nothing is imminent right now and North Dakota is one of multiple hypothetical scenarios that the league is likely discussing.
