Congratulations to Michigan State's Ron Mason for his election to the coaches Coach of the Year. The runner-up was said to be Mason's son-in-law, Maine's Shawn Walsh. Among other actions, but not yet finalized are proposals to 1. Coincident minors will not change number of players on the ice. My interpretation is that at 5-5 or 5-4 or 4-4, coincident minors will NOT change the on ice strength. (Good change!) 2. Reversion to the 2-ref/1-linesman system. (Guess why we went from the 2-ref system to the current 1-ref system a few years ago?!) 3. Others .. sorry, I don't recall them. Again, these are not (yet) changes, but may/will be voted on before next season. Wayne Smith The College Hockey Discussion List administrator BITNET/CREN: wts@maine internet: [log in to unmask]
