CHAMPAIGN — The developer of the downtown site that could someday be the home ice of a Division I college hockey team had a feeling his proposed location would get the nod over one pitched for south Champaign.
You may have noticed the big "I" flag flying Thursday at the spot south of the downtown MTD terminal, said the developer responsible for it, Hans Grotelueschen.
"I'm super excited about it," Grotelueschen said of the news Thursday that a feasibility study commissioned in part by the National Hockey League recommended the downtown site be where a potential University of Illinois varsity hockey team play its home games.
