Can anybody confirm Mike Mantenudo(sp) has left the team. If its true,
thats to bad as I liked his play and expected him to contribute to this
years team. Tough weekend in Grand Forks, wish I could watch it. From USCHO
it is possible to get the feeds from North Dakota on ku band(big dish)
satellite SBS 6 trans. 5. Any bars around Bangor that have a big dish that
gets ku band?






>The BDN reports this morning that along with John Ronan's injury, Gray
