This is a quoted story from the Boston Globe (Tuesday, March 1, 1994 - p.63) "The Hockey East athletic directors will hold a conference call this morning to discuss Maine's use on an ineligible player in its first 30 games this season. Acting commissioner Bob DeGregorio said there are three possible resolutions: `One, if the NCAA acts before the conference playoffs start and deter- mines that games are forfeited, that would put Maine in last place and it would play atr Boston University, which clinched first place. `Two, if the NCAA doesn't do anything until after the tournament and if Maine wins two games this weekend [at New Hampshire and Boston College], then Maine could sneak into third or fourth place and would have home ice for the playoffs.' The third possibility would have the league keeping Maine out of the playoffs altogether. `The league could say, `Play your two games this weekend and come back when you have your house in order next year,'' DeGregorio said. `Then BU would get a bye in the first round.' The Black Bears (12-15-4, 7-10-4 in Hockey East) already forfeited three wins for using an ineligible player in its first three games of the season. The lastest problem involves Patrice Tardif, the team's second-leading scorer. Tardif, a graduate-level student, is not carrying enough credits to be eligible for athletics." Again, I repeat, the above article is a direct copy of what appeared in the Boston Globe today (including the word, "lastest."). They in no way reflect my views or opinions.
