I find this very hard to believe.  Unless Tim Taylor has agreed to waive
requiring them to play in the pre-Olympic training tour or Maine has
an academic calendar which will permit players to return to school in March,
I don't see how it will be possible for them to play on the Olympic team and
compete for Maine.  Am I missing something here?
