ORONO, Maine -- As of Wednesday afternoon, the University of Maine men's ice hockey quarterfinal series with UConn will occur as scheduled. Maine and UConn will open the series on Friday, March 13 at 7 p.m. before meeting in game two on Saturday, March 14 at 6 p.m. If necessary, a third game will take place between the two teams on Sunday, March 15 at 6 p.m.
The UMaine system has cancelled all in-person classes for the remainder of spring semester and will be sending students home.
Well there, maybe no hockey spectators this weekend.
I think I'll just go into self quorantine, give me a reason to not go anywhere and get ready for spring fishing.😁

Elsewhere, Harvard has decided not to let the hockey team even play at RPI this weekend. The ECAC is deciding if it just gives RPI a bye into the semifinal or reseed the tournament.
The Ivy League has canceled the entire spring sports season.
Still no confirmed cases in Maine and the state seems to have a good handle on reducing the impact when it does hit. I would say it is more likely than not that tomorrow we get an announcement that there will be no fans allowed at Alfond this weekend.
Ive stood with Blackeye on the rail at Alfond dozens of times way back when Maine was relevant in the natl picture.He used to come from Portland every home game. Now blacki Im not so sure about.

Yes, I’ve been out of sorts. Plus I don’t idle well.

Long time no post, but have been lurking the whole time.
I really hope we can get in the Alfond this weekend, have my doubts about any potential HE finals next weekend having spectators. Will see.
This team, the Maine fans, especially the Alfond faithful all deserve the excitement of hosting a HE quarter series. Us old timers were spoiled and considered it a normal end to a long season with hotel plans made for HE in Boston then guessing on Worcester, Albany, etc., for regional hotels. Love to get back to that.
Ct just matches up with Maine so well, negates the aggressive style we have seen when they are playing well. Hate to see it again require Swayman to stand on his head. No fans, Ct in 3. If we are there, Maine in 3.
This is on Red, but please have these guys motivated to play when they hit the ice, not midway through the 2nd period............... That gets old.
$90(more) for a drink holding ledge and a Maine blanket, but the views still great.
Just win.....
