Actually of Maine's 3 violations this year NONE of them were recruiting violations. Cal Ingraham: Played with 1 credit too few, two years, ago. Thus ineligible for those games.... Jeff Tory: Ineligible to play for one year due to proposition XXXXX. Patrice Tardif: Too few credits as a grad student, thus ineligible for those games. The team itself is sound, The Cal incident has no effect on this years team (it occurred two years ago, and Maine must forfeit THOSE games...) In addition, the Tory incident only effected 3 games, NOT enough to warrant a ban from postseason play. Tardiff's ineligibility was not the Hockey Programs fault. He could have been eligible, and Hockey East should recognize that fact.... Pat Ellis
