Regarding the Cleveland tournament, Eric Rickin reports that he found the Maine practice "boring" without the Ferraro brothers and Paul Kariya. Minus these three freshmen, who are away playing in world junior competition, Maine set an NCAA record over the holidays by winning four tournaments (Alaska-Fairbanks Tourny, Great Western Freeze Out, Cleveland Tournament, Dexter Classic) and upping its record to 21-0-1. Lots of schools would like to have such a boring team, I suspect.
