        Fade, JJM,

        I've seen video of the Topsham "community rink."

        This year, there is no ice yet, there are no boards, benches, etc. There are some stands, but those are for tournament officials (us) and can also serve as a penalty area. We're creative... what can we do?

          We can gleefully say this will be a perfect venue.

          Or we can look at going to nearby Brunswick Landing.

            I think we'll keep it here.

            Rusty's convenience store already said we can have stale decaf coffee and expired bean burritos. We're not eating that; there's enough money in our budget to take us to a nearby IHOP.

              I'm going to insist on some local fare, so we have to include some tomalley. Maybe a tomalley eating contest at an intermission?

              If you're not familiar with tomalley, it's one of the most vile things you can possibly ingest. It's the soft, green substance found in the body cavity of lobsters, that fulfills the functions of both the liver and the pancreas. It can also contain high levels of PCBs which can give a number of negative health effects in large concentrations, so it's perfect for the NoWinS.

                Can we have a player come down with some negative health effects during the NoWinS?

                  And we're going to move Maine at 8-8-3 to the bubble. Given the Lack of Optimism in their thread... I'd say they're desperate and would hire someone who clubs baby seals in their spare time as coach if said coach could get them to the NCAAs.

                    Seeing as they would practically be a host school, Maine is mercifully ineligible for the NoWinS this season.

                    In other NoWinS news, transport for the four teams has now been arranged thanks to some high level maritime negotiation. St. Cloud is now on their way to Thunder Bay, Ontario. They will board the bulk carrier Algoma Spirit there and be bound for Hamilton. UAH will meet that freighter and board it while still in transit in the Detroit River. In Hamilton, those two teams will transfer to the Malta flagged Belasitza, which will pick up both Canisius there. Vermont will board at Cornwall Island in the St. Lawrence Seaway, and the Belasitza will drop all four at Quebec City. They will then be transported by school bus the 244 miles to Topsham, just in time to play on December 21.

                      They will hold their breath and ride a SpaceX rocket's first stage to the landing. HERE GOES NOTHING

                        We can't afford SpaceX. But have fun on the carrier and on the rickety old school bus.

                        Also, JJM... we can get the teams to Topsham. How they get home is entirely up to them.

                          That was a given. However, it's entirely possible that their homes don't want them anymore.

                              Is Isle Royale still on for a site? Food will be a real problem there. Players could set snares for rabbits and beavers (I hear the tails are tasty). Or pick at the remains of wolf killed moose. Or go hungry. Hungry for a win and hungry to get off the island and eat. They may even eat the tomalley.

                              In interest of full disclosure, my mister would eat almost anything - tongue, brains, liver, kidneys - and yes, he ate tomalley. I had to look away.
