Mike,
 
I guess the net did not reveal my tongue firmly planted in cheek in my
prior post.  I am disappointed not to be able to see Maine locally.
Although Alberta has a record second to none they are coming off a poor
season in which they did not make the playoffs [only four league members
do, we've burned that topic to death].  Local wisdom suggests next year
might not be all that stellar for the U of A either.
