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.

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.On Wed, Oct 3, 2012 at 8:42 PM, Kevin Freeman <[log in to unmask]> wrote:

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!
