Michael O’Brien and Joe Henricksen review the Chicago Elite Classic and the other major events of the past week. The episode opens with a mailbag of listener questions. Then they each give their Two Takes. Then it is time to dive into what has been the elephant in the room in December the last few seasons: Why doesn’t the Chicago area have a major holiday tournament? Proviso West has slowly diminished over the past few years and nothing has replaced it. Can any of the current tournaments step up in its place? Can Proviso West rebound?
