<The excellent Maine Hockey web site has yet to pick up on either change, so you might want to hold off buying those non-refundable/no-change airline tickets for a while. :-) > OUCH! I was smiling about the compliment then I got to the rest of your comment. Sorry for the delay! I do have the changes on the location and the date and it is now in my working file and ready to upload. However, we had a vicious thunder storm last night and my power was out all evening. Starting when I get home tonight (around 7:30pm) I'll upload the changes plus a whole lot more information on the new coaches, players and up coming events. The new player photos are in the works and thanks to Monty Rand I should have those to load by the end of next week. > -----Original Message----- > From: Dave Hendrickson [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Sent: Friday, October 02, 1998 10:31 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: HE-ECAC tournament movement > > Wayne wrote: > > > > (I recently reported news from Richard Hungerford and USCHO: the > > ECAC-HE games in NYC on December 22 (including a Maine/Colgate > game) > > is being moved to the Hartford Civic Center..wts) > > > > Today I report that it appears that not only the location has > changed, > > but the date appears to have changed from December 22 to December > 21. > > > > Both the ECAC and some people at UNH are reporting the date change. > > > > Fwiw, USCHO is still reporting December 22 games.
