Re: Maine - the Golfing Season

Can I use that on my girlfriend? Honey, we've been together for years, but let's take a couple of weeks off so I can sleep with that hot 22 year old over there.

I recommend you use that line of reasoning with her

I understand that Holy Cross officials said they were not interested in joining HEA.

There will be some disappointed Holy Cross fans. I was at the train station in Woburn over the Hockey East championship weekend waiting for a train to North Station and met some Holy Cross fans who were also Maine fans. They were hoping that Holy Cross would be under consideration to join Hockey East.

Re: Maine - the Golfing Season

The division setup makes a lot of sense. Play each team 3 times in the division, along with a rotating schedule with teams in the other division to play a total of 27 games. I don't think you want to play a team 4 times, need to have a tie breaker.

Your reasoning that Maine has no ties to these schools isn't really an issue. Maine has no ties to the other schools either, other then the fact Maine has played many of them for years. The same tradition could develop with the additional two schools.
There would be a connection with BC, Notre Dame and Providence College, as they are all Jesuit schools. If Holy Cross were to join instead of UConn, then there would be four schools with a connection. Holy Cross being a small school though, so that doesn't bring a lot of prominence to the league. UConn is a big time athletic program which would strengthen Hockey East.

Smal point but ND is not a Jesuit school, Founded by the Congregation of the Holy Cross....follows similar approaches as Jesuits, but not Jesuit....

Unlike the College of Holy Cross, which *is* Jesuit. Keeping track of these things isn't for the faint of heart.
