THANKS very much for your contribution to the blackbears.net website.  I
hope that you had as much pleasure maintaining it as we did reading it.

It is fans like you that separate the ME hockey program from all the others.

Thanks again,
"Cousin Jimmy"

Subject: ADMIN: blackbears.net shutting down


Hi everyone,

I wanted to take a moment and let you all know that I will be shutting down
the blackbears.net web site later this month.  While I enjoy operating the
web site, I cannot justify the expense any longer.

While there is some chance that someone might donate web space for us to
use, I am proceeding with my backup option of using Yahoo Groups for our
ME-HOCKEY list community.

You can view/join the Yahoo Groups site at:
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/me-hockey/

I will move all the links I have up on blackbears.net to the Yahoo Group and
we will be able to continue our poll questions, in-game chats, etc. in that
forum.  The Yahoo Group will not be for discussion purposes, that is what
ME-HOCKEY is for!!

I realize some of you only read the ME-HOCKEY list via blackbears.net, but
you can go directly to the ME-HOCKEY Archives on the UMaine server and read
the list directly that way too.  The link for that is below:
http://lists.maine.edu/cgi/wa?A0=me-hockey

As always, if you have any questions please e-mail me at

I'm really happy with the way the ME-HOCKEY list has developed over the last
couple of seasons and I hope that you'll all find the Yahoo Group a welcome
addition to what we already have here.

Best Regards,
Deron Treadwell
ME-HOCKEY ADMIN
