Two threads: An item that always interested me was whether, now, or in past seasons, the University of Maine has/had the most former players on active NHL rosters than former members of any other NC$$ team. Considering the knocks we take every so often, (and likely should Shawn return as scheduled) this would be the true test of how "good" the program is. Am I correct that UMaine currently dominates ? It certainly would help if the Bruins "brain" trust would recognize that Beers and Roy are as good as anyone else they have kept on defence and on RW. Roy may currently be the fastest to the puck that the B's have right now. On another interesting subject right now, could anyone remind me as to what happened in the Maine (or was it USM) case about baseball player suspensions about campus sports betting ? Consider the sanctions given to Maine Hockey when compared to similar violations in college football at Michigan State U, who got, IMHO, much less severe treatment for what were categorized as the same infractions as happened at UMaine. It will be interesting to see in a compare / contrast thing whether Boston College will be treated any differently than a Maine school for players caught betting. Post to group, on either point with your thoughts or let me know by private post. Dan Doucette Maine 1978 MPA 1980 ****** If you can read this, thank your monitor *******
