John said, in part ..

Tory lost this year because of the Providence games. He has two
remaining years of eligibility.
Coach Walsh on the forfeits (paraphrased): "A coach hopes to help his
team win. We lost those games because of my mistake. A coach should
not lose games for his team. I have apologized to the team for my
mistake".
Coach Walsh on Tory (paraphrased): I am committed to Jeff Tory
obtaining his degree.
>It was not announced whether Providence would pick the wins up, ...
It was unanimously voted (in a discussion that was said to have taken
one half hour) that Maine would forfeit the six points and Providence
College will gain the six points. With this change, Maine and
Providence exchange positions 3 and 6 in the Hockey East standings.
The Bangor Daily News today reported that while Maine considers the case
now closed, an NCAA "representative" said that while he didn't expect
any further action, the case was NOT officially closed. :-/
