(*) Special note for this week:

   The above results IGNORE 5 Mass.-Lowell forfeit games, as announced by
   the school and reported by USCHO.COM and other sources.

   There seems to be some question as to whether the forfeits will be
   treated as wins by the opposition or ignored for the purposes of
   ranking for the NCAA tournament.  The NCAA bylaws seem to say the
   former, yet some state recent precedents suggest the latter.  As the
   latter seems most fair to this reporter, HEAL and other rankings from
   this site use the latter: the 5 games below are ignored.

   Fyi, the forfeits are all Mass.-Lowell games from 2003-12-27 through
   2004-01-24, including five games won on the ice by Mass.-Lowell:

      12/28/03 Union               1 vs Mass.-Lowell        0      nc
      01/03/04 Massachusetts       1 at Mass.-Lowell        0      he
      01/04/04 Mass.-Lowell        0 at Massachusetts       1      he
      01/10/04 Mass.-Lowell        0 at Michigan State      1      nc
      01/16/04 Mass.-Lowell        0 at Merrimack           1      he

   PWR and CHODR are omitted from these rankings, since they are available
   only using the original UML game scores.
