Funny thing they played a game between Providence and North Eastern and it
wasn't called after two periods.
Teams play in 70 degree weather all of the time and you don't see them being
postponed or cancelled.

I didn't see the game but I do know we are having unusually warm  weather
here in MA.  It was around 70 yesterday with very high humidity.  In the
evening and through the night we had very heavy rains.  I also heard that
the NBA called the Celtics game being played in Worcester in the middle due
to a slippery floor.  I think the poor ice and slippery floor were caused by
the weather and unless you keep the doors closed for hours you won't be able
to control the interior atmosphere well enough.
