There was a thread on this on USCHO's message board. It doesn't appear to be
there anymore, but here's what I remember from it:
Masotta pleaded "no contest" to whatever the legal-ese is for this, and I think
he was sentenced to probation and community service, though I wouldn't swear to
it. Anyway, charges against the other two were dropped. All three were
suspended from the team; one of the other two has transferred to, I believe, a
Division III school, while the other is still at Maine appealing his
suspension. He claims (as does the player who transferred) that his voice is
not one of those in the background in the infamous voice-mail.
This is all from memory and hopefully not too faulty... any screwups in the
above are unintentional.
