Huh? If anything, I would find the forfeiture of games involving
ineligible players to be one of most sensible rules that the NC$$
employs.
I doubt very much that the NC$$ (or opposing schools for that matter)
would be for encouraging the use of ineligible players by letting
teams keep wins involving such players.
The loses may be "mean nothing" time-wise, but I doubt that Maine will
have a repeat of this situation for a long time to come, and the
forfeiture of those games (and with them, perhaps the Hockey East
championship for that season) is one of the reasons that I doubt it
will happen again.
