Please keep me on the list as well.  In my opinion 15th in the country
(http://www.uscho.com/)  is far better than mediocre, middle of the pack.
And given how tough Hockey East is, the Alfond will continue to have a lot
of top quality college hockey.  And these "fair-weather fans" will be back
when Maine starts challenging for a Hockey East title and/or a trip to the
Frozen Four.  

 

It is difficult when the top tier teams lose their top players to the NHL
almost every year.  But that's what happens when you recruit NHL draft-picks
and prospects who are the best players and the most fun to watch and to
watch develop.  Teams have "re-building" seasons where the competition is
really tough.  And all teams (except for maybe BCJ) have difficult seasons.
But even in difficult seasons there are many skilled players who do amazing
things on their skates and with the puck that are really fun to watch
especially in person.

PS:  Bowdoin and Colby are really fun to watch too, especially when they
play each other!

Please keep me on the list.   :)

I'm extremely unhappy with the administration and what they have allowed the
team to become (mediocre, middle of the pack) - but the students still come
to play and work hard to put it all out on the ice.  I want to continue to
support them...

Plus, how else would I have known that they changed a couple of rules and
allowed 4 vs. 4 OT.  Although, I must say - turning it into a playground
decision (if we can all agree...) is kinda beneath the NCAA I think.

Wayne, you can remove me from the list -- gave up season tickets, not
involved and not caring until things change for the better.  Under the
current leadership, there is no reason to think that mediocrity will not
continue to reign supreme.  The "excuses" vary from season to season,
though.  Gotta give credit for that!
Cheers, indeed!
