I believe you are right.  I thought I remembered seeing a note on one of
the web sites recently which said that Maine had completed a "five game
tour".  Because of that, I had removed the 12/31 Calgary game from the
composite.  After seeing your message just now, I doublechecked last week's
HE release and found that six games are mentioned in the Maine notes
section (1/2/96).  It says that Maine has gone "4-1 vs international
competition" since beating Union in the JC Penney Classic, and that "Maine
will complete a six-game tour of Canadian colleges with a game at Concordia
University on 1/3".
 
The latest HE release, which I have not received yet but which has its
notes section up on the USA Today site, says Maine went 6-0 vs Canadian
schools on its tour.  So there must have been two games with Calgary after
all.  My mistake...
