This news was also reported in this morning's Bangor Daily
News.  Coach Shawn Walsh (I'm paraphrasing here) expressed
little surprise in Roy's move and thought it was the best
thing for Jean-Yves.  He also said that they (UMaine Hockey)
had been planning for this contingency, and that the move
by Roy will free up playing time for some of Maine's super
incoming first-year class: Chris and Peter Ferraro (both of
whom are invited to the US Junior National Training camp
and Paul Kariya (invited to the Canadian Junior National
Training camp.)
 
That was about the extent of the article - and certainly
all that I can remember - maybe someone here with a BDN
handy will fill in more details.
