I really don’t understand why we can’t smooth out the schedule. No home games in November and only two in December.

How did you find that? Did you just happen to find it, or did someone send you the link? Usually the school likes to hype up a schedule release and I didn't get anything from the athletics department. They've taken it down so it seems someone jumped the gun in making it public.

I originally posted it in the schedules thread so I think he got it from me or he just came across it. I removed it from the schedules thread after seeing it no longer was working and I was about to update the spreadsheet but nooooooo.....
 
I did screenshots on my phone and will post later. It would be nice if a few games moved around. Couple interesting things to note...no Portland game and they had the first home series against Quinnipiac as Saturday-Sunday instead of Friday-Saturday.

I knew someone would have screenshots or write the games down somewhere! I should've done that haha

That's what I thought I saw but perhaps they took it down because Alaska didn't have Maine on their schedule when they released it this afternoon. Maine is probably looking for a new opponent or will just go with 10. Curious to see what dates Maine had for Alaska and cross reference it with Alaska's schedule to see if they have that open or already booked.

Thanks. Interesting. I see Alaska plays a home and home with LIU in February. Maybe Maine was supposed to play them then. Or the St Thomas series in October.
Are Maine and Penn State making up the series that was canceled or is that lost to the wastebin of history?

The schedule that was briefly posted earlier today had Alaska-Fairbanks playing at Maine. I figured that was very doubtful since Fairbanks played at the Alfond this past season. IF Maine is actually playing Anchorage at the Alfond this year, I was wondering if there was a possibility of Maine playing both Anchorage & Fairbanks up in Alaska next season.

To your other question, per the Fairbanks schedule, they are playing Anchorage on the dates which Maine had Fairbanks listed on the preliminary schedule (i.e. on 12/9 & 12/10).

Saw something the other day bangor area is one of the hottest real estate markets in maine right now, and maine is over all comparatively very hot right now. Cant even find a house in portland they say. Even Millinocket houses are selling.

Since pandemic lots and lots of folks from eastern us moving in state.

I just sold a house in Podunk, NY for >twice what the market would have borne just a couple of years ago.

It's truly an insane time to buy, anywhere.
 
The thing that struck me was how messed up the conference portion of the schedule is. I put that on the league.

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

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.

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.
