    To follow up on that, I don't know all the details involved in regard to how much Maine will pay for a HC and things ended badly with Montgomery in Dallas but if he goes through the rehabilitation process and proves to be a changed man, could he be a possibility? Other than him entering rehab I don't think any details have come out in regard to why he was fired. I bet he gets another chance somewhere. When I look at what Leaman, Bazin and Madigan have done in recent years I don't think it's a stretch to say Maine could get back to an NCAA tournament level team with the right coach.
    If he completes rehab and keeps his nose clean I think he'll get another chance, too. Addiction is universally considered a disease these days, and seeking treatment doesn't carry the stigma it once did. Having said that, he might need a few years to prove himself again, and I'd be stoked if those years were spent behind the Maine bench.

    And yeah, Maine is probably only 3-4 quality forwards from being a tournament team. Been that way for years now. Red just can't seem to get over that hump. I bet Jimmy could.

    Referencing your other post, I can't see Moore coaching at the college level anytime soon. He appears to be on the fast track to an NHL job, and good for him.

      Is Greg the only Maine native to play in the NHL? Damon never got the invite, but I see that he's still playing in Europe at age 39 (!)

        Eric Weinrich played 1000+ NHL games. His background says he's born in Virginia, but he grew up and played in the Augusta area (I forget which school) before going to North Yarmouth Academy and on to Maine.

            No doubt Nyquist had a much better career, but when it comes to raw talent I think Acquino was a lot better. We don’t really talk about him much but him not working out was a big blow.

              He made the team as a walk-on, if memory serves.

                Cream rises. I mean, Luc didnt make it anywhere. Ill concede the old point about the kid who got kicked out and played like 500 AHL games (Sill maybe) being talented. Its not like the other kid left and lit it up. As talented as like Billy Ryan based on his pro career. Not as talented as Gus, one of the best 5-10 forwards in Hockey East in the last 10-15 years.

                Maine Hockey: I want to believe
                43-21-4 (.662) in games I attended over 4 years as a student
                104-47-14 (.669) in that time
                3x FROZEN FOUR

                11-20-2 in games I've attended since. (2-2-1 under Red)

                  Nyquist was a special player, he was worth the price of admission.

                    Good stuff, as usual. Thanks.

                    I didn't remember Libby getting a cup of coffee, but he and Moore are it.

                    Does anyone know if Hathaway was recruited by Maine? I'd never heard of him before, but I don't follow the NHL much aside from those teams who have Bears on their rosters.

                      Yeah that was Sill. Played in 93 NHL games, too. Still playing in Europe at age 31. He only appeared 6 times for Maine.

                      That Sill-Czuba-Dekastrossa recruiting class was the handwriting on the wall for the end of the Whitehead Era, IMO, though it looks in hindsight that Sill was a lot better than he appeared to be back then.

                        Jeff Libby's career ended prematurely when he lost his eye due to a severe cut from a skate.

                          That was a tragedy. I remember it. But I think that that happened after his NHL debut.

                            I could be wrong. Half the time I am.
                            You are correct. It happened in a AHL game against Lowell.

                                Then that kid Sweetland left way early for nothing.

                                But the Abbott Diamond ONeill Flynn Darling class was ridiculous. Unfortunately the on ice coaching and commitment to team D/not blowing leads bit then big time. Seriously. Tim’s on ice coaching the last 3-4 years was a way bigger issue than recruiting
