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
[log in to unmask]

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
