Re: Maine
I was formerly a UNO Mavericks season ticket holder.
Now I am a Colgate season ticket holder.
With Colgate off next weekend, I thought I would drive to Orono to catch Omaha and log in a new rink.
I just saw tonight that I will be logging in two new rinks... in Orono and Portland. What is the deal with that scheduling? 6 p.m. on Friday in Orono and Noon on Saturday in Portland? Is that some kind of tradition? Mind you, I am not complaining. It just seems odd.

Gave-up 42 SOG to AIC? Surprising.

Fish is right...your best play is to go to the Saturday game in Portland rather than do the Orono-Portland shuffle. Unless of course you really enjoy the windshield time. Portland has great restaurants/bars/pubs in the Old Port very near the arena. All that said, the 12 noon puck drop on Sat. in Portland is odd and unprecedented. I’d guess that Cross Arena already had a game or concert scheduled for Sat. evening. So drive to Portland Friday day, check out the activity, stay in Portland that night and hit the Commercial St. Pub early-ish for pre-game Sat. morning. C U there.
If he stays downtown, he could walk pretty-much anywhere.
And Gritty's before a noon game..? Spoken like a true Maine man.

If you got to Orono there are going to be many disagreements about where to go first. I like Pats, Or Margaritas. Then I like governors for pie and coffee post game. Then hit Dysarts for breakfast on your way out of town in Holden, I think.
