The Barr Has Been Raised at UMaine

Team announced today 1 week until season tickets go on sale. Have to wonder if an official schedule release will accompany it.

Maine is playing AIC once. This is great news as it means one fewer weekend with no games.

Absolutely shocked a political flunky from another state hasn’t worked out as chancellor: https://www.pressherald.com/2022/05/...p-for-renewal/ Between this and LePage potentially being governor again could be rocky times ahead for the system.

Per the Maine Athletics Twitter and Instagram accounts a few days ago, they are "taking a tour of the State of Maine." No word on what this entails or where they'll be going, but I wonder if it's an adaptation of the thing UMass did that ticapnews talked about a few weeks ago he said he wished UMaine would do. Time will tell.

Hopefully they hit up the Brunswick area so I can attend. Would love to see them plant a flag in York County too.

Arrnott, Hopkins, and both Nadeau brothers get points in the Penticton Vee’s opening game of the BCHL Fred Page cup final.

Looking forward to seeing them all do that in Orono in a few years.

I have to assume it's being fixed. There are only 32 games on that schedule (the Icebreaker games don't count against the 34 game limit) so there are two games available. Plus the UAF games. Are the UAA games set in stone? I expect there is more to come and someone just jumped the gun on making the schedule public.

They should easily just not do the Alaska series as Maine wasn't on Alaska's schedule release and that gives them 34 games. The ice breaker basically allows them to decide if they want as other game or 2.

Hopefully this is the case. To me it seems like the schedules in recent times have been more out of balance than they used to be.

It seems like from Thanksgiving to Martin Luther King jr weekend the schedule is messed up now. I really don’t understand how they got to this point and why they can’t fix it. One part of the problem at least for Maine is they’ve gone away from one off games. If they went back to these it would definitely help balance things out.

Starting the league schedule with two home games against Northeastern before Halloween and then no conference games at Alfond until mid-January is... interesting.

12 of 18 at home in the new year could lend itself to a strong playoff push.

The schedule is easy enough to find....just Google the 2022-2023 schedule and pull up the cached link....

The thing that struck me was how messed up the conference portion of the schedule is. I put that on the league.

I don’t remember specific dates but Icebreaker, Quinnipiac at home, Bentley away, Fairbanks home, Anchorage home, Colgate away

Wow, pretty weak indeed, aside from Q of course. Should be opportunity for wins in there.
