Originally posted by gscott13 View PostI coach a high school team and that was the first thing I changed when I purchased new sweaters for the team... 1-22 & 31. Some freshman asked if he could have 78 and my response was "nope, but you can have 7 or 8, as long as no upper classmen have that number"
That said, I get the superstition aspect. I am convinced I pay better when I am wearing 13...

From Mary Trumball over in the Facebook group:
I'm a little stunned right now. I renewed my membership in friends of Maine hockey this year when the email came. They said they missed me. Last year they never sent me one. I had received the general thank you from the athletic dept. Today I received a thank you note, handwritten from Red. To say I'm a little stunned is an understatement. I love this touch to the fans.

Very complimentary and informative article on Ben Guite by Fluto Shinzawa in today's Boston Globe. Didn't look to see if it was online. Talks about his playing days and the uncertain life after professional hockey without a college degree. He is going to have a message for recruits. He earned his MBA in 2009 while taking online and summer courses at Maine while working hockey camps.

and it was always said, that it was the FOMH and the people who could only afford $25 or $50 who felt that Maine hockey was THIER team.
Cherie remembers how Shawn did things and I am sure Red does too. (not saying that Shawn did everything perfectly, but the way he enrolled the fans and sold them on the whole program was just perfect)

Ben Guite knows he’s one of the lucky ones. Guite appeared in 175 NHL games for Boston, Colorado, and Nashville, totaling 19 goals and 26 assists. Guite played for seven AHL teams, including Providence, to earn a reputation as a dependable professional forward.
But like the majority of pro hockey players, Guite knew he’d need a job after his playing career was over.
Unemployment was not a plight Guite suffered for long.
Less than six months removed from his final appearance as a hockey player, Guite has transitioned into the next stage of his career as an assistant coach at the University of Maine. Guite was a four-year player at Maine between 1996 and 2000. As a junior, Guite helped lead Maine to the NCAA championship.

I do, however know that Ceglarski used to charge his players for their skates.

How much does each Maine player have to hand over to the manager before boarding the bus trip to UNH? How many other HE schools share this practice giving Jerry and unfair advantage?
