        I think that some of the UNO fans are expecting too much out of
their mavericks also. Division Three hockey players are good hockey
players that are not going to roll over die for a team because they are
divison one. UNO fans give your team a break. You won't be able to judge
your team until about four years when your coaches players are seniors
then you can judge your coaches recruiting talent. Also don't expect
immediate success have some paitence.
