Finalist site visits by USA Hockey national governing body representatives are wrapping up this week in St. Louis & St. Charles..

USA Hockey reps visited Buffalo in late September. Then they visited Pittsburgh and their surprise WJC bid partner Erie, PA last week.

Final decision on the 2018 WJC host city(-ies) remains sometime in December of this year.
