The Bears sang (or maybe that was a chant?) the school song, "The Maine Stein Song", made famous by Rudy Vallee years ago. >* Not a final four comment, but former Spartan Bryan Smolinski had 3 points >tonight to help Boston to a 7-1 win at Quebec.

Add Matt Martin to that list. Matt, a 210 pound 6-4 Junior has reached a verbal agreement to turn pro, and will leave for St. John soon to start his pro career.
