Prior to this, when Army rejoined the ECAC Div. I league in the '80s, they spent two (?) years as a "provisional" member (they did not play a full complement of league games) and were ineligible for the playoffs during that time. But when they became a full ECAC member for the 1986-87 season, the Cadets were eligible for the playoffs immediately. -- Bill Fenwick Email: [log in to unmask] Digicomp Research Voice: (607) 273-5900 ext 35 HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
