I wonder two things immediately.  #1- when is this set to begin?  #2 When
was this approved?
 
The Maine schedule I have for next season has Maine playing only TWO ECAC
teams, not including Vermont who Maine plays in the Governor's Cup) so that
would lead me to believe it will not begin till 97-98.  Since most teams
have their schedules already done, and are already full, it would be
difficult for all the HEA and ECAC teams to go through their schedules and
reconfigure.  Incidently, Maine's schedule is full already.
 
Anyone in the know (Geoff, Mike??) comment further on this?
