All games prior to Nov. 16 have been moved to either Portland (about 150 miles from campus) or Lewiston (about 100 miles). Right now, it sure doesn't look like Alfond will be done by Nov. 21st, which is the first home game to be played in Alfond. Alfond is still wide open with just the 2 ends of the roof still covering any of the arena. It looks like some huge bulldozer took a slice right out of the middle. (Wayne has posted some art work previously showing the state of Alfond...I suggest you refer to it for a complete picture :-)). The upshot is that most people think the whole season prior to Decemeber will probably be played at least 100 miles from campus, or in local *small* rinks. Now, Carol et al. don't you feel a little silly complaining about 1 game being moved ?? ;-). To answer your question, John, the game against the Canadian Olympic team will be in Lewiston on Oct. 19.
