Thanks. You are certainly correct. I have fixed it. Somehow I figured out there that UML could play Merrimack, but when I looked at Merrimack's possibilities for the MA Belt, I did not see UML as a possibility.

Ralph, saw all the work you did to show how the alternate belts come and go with 3x3 OTs and shootouts. Hope College Hockey will come to agreement so you won't have the plethora of belts to track.

Only way that happens is they do away with that skills competition crud and end games in a tie.

Or if the NCAA adopts shootouts and/or 3x3 overtimes for everyone.

I say keep the 3x3 and do away with the shoots. (even though Troy Terry is a DU Pioneer)
