Because it's regarded internationally as a kids' tournament, not a quasi-professional commercial enterprise. And as a kids' tournament, the location should be rotated out of fairness, not stuck wherever it will make the most money.
Canada has a very different attitude towards 16-19 year old hockey players than the rest of the world, mainly because of our quasi-professional junior leagues.
