It's my understanding that Justin has decided and is expected to sign
very soon (and is on his way to his new team now); he was drafted by
Minnesota in the 46th round.
But I write this to interject that Justin has not decided whether he
will play hockey next season for the Black Bears. He had earlier
decided to concentrate on baseball and skip hockey. But the Bangor
Daily News today reported that Justin expects to return to school
this Fall and may play hockey. We'll see. :-)
