Yes it has. People outside of what are generally termed 'hockey areas'
are hardly likely to know anything about the NHL much less college
hockey.

OU may have been just as outraged as Maine fans, but don't you think the
reasons are a bit different?? A transcript error probably made by the school
isn't even close to being in the same category as a drug offense. A player in
any sport who commits a drug offense SHOULD be punished by at the very
least sitting out of games. I don't think, however, that a player should sit because
of an error by their school.
