   State of Maine college hockey is covered pretty well in Maine, but
   certainly U of Maine ice hockey is covered very well.  The Bangor
   Daily News is published 6 times per week.  On Saturday and Monday are
   game reports, almost always front page of sports section and often
   with a photo ...  about 1/4 to 1/2 page.  On Tuesday and Wednesday
   are feature stories and editorials (today's BDN had a feature on Mike
   Latendresse and another on Justin Tomberlin).  Thursday brings a
   feature on the weekend's opponent.  Friday features the Maine team
   and the upcoming series.  Each of these are about 1/4 page.
 
   A Sunday paper out of Portland also has pretty good coverage of U
   Maine hockey.  Whereas BDN maybe covers 1/2 of the State, the
   Portland paper (Maine Sunday Telegram?) covers the entire state.
 
   Coverage of HOCKEY EAST is fair, but you'll learn *much* more through
   HOCKEY-L, than any local paper in Maine.  Coverage of the rest of
   college hockey is almost non-existent, except for an inconsistent set
   of scores.
