Re: Maine Black Bears 2010-2011 - Part Deux
I'm more concerned with them getting to Florida than getting back home. They just closed Newark and the state of New Jersey has joined MD, PA and MA in declaring a snow emergency. American Airlines canceled all flights to and from Northeast airports until at least 10AM. I'd say their odds of getting out of Logan tomorrow are less than 50/50.

This happens every year.......always travel issues. Maybe they should go down there for an entire week.

If Uncle Harry was still writing checks they probably would. I doubt the Athletics Department can justify the finances of sending the hockey team to Florida for a week before the Florida tournament.

Travel update:
On top of the snow that's falling, the storm slowed down south of NYC and intensified...we're now looking at almost category 2 hurricane force winds out there.
ETA:
News said they were staying in Boston since Thursday, but this is the same report that said they were playing the Hawkeyes, so I should have known better.
Glad I'm not driving in this ****.

lenzi's last two tweets
Furthermore, a few players didn't make it to campus and are re-routing flights from their home cities to Florida
via @MaineIceHockey, the Black Bears are en route to Boston - yes, in the blizzard - but their afternoon flight to FLA has been canceled

No further word on the travel. I see that there is a JetBlue flight to Fort Myers that took off at 6:50, but they are a day behind on flights so I doubt the team made that. The AirTrans and Lufthansa flights were both canceled. Maybe they can drive there faster

BDNews reporting that Leidermark won't make trip to Florida...he's stuck in Sweden and that Diamond may not be able to make trip either.

A charter is the only way to go in late December from Maine. Alliegiant had a flight leave at noon but only after an aborted takeoff on the first try. It was behind another aircraft that had taken off, a charter.

Here is the aforementioned weather predicament according to the BDN. Also some talk of line shuffling, one of which would be Mangene centering Banwell and Cornell.....interesting to say the least.

Future participation in this tournament by Maine should hinge on the ability to fly a charter jet down there. If that cannot be arranged then maybe it is time for them to end their relationship with this tournament.

Mentions Liedermark not making it, but no mention of Diamond, which I hope is a good thing.

Huh? Does anyone really care about this tourney other than the participants? Do recruits come to Maine because we play in this tournament? This annual freak show road trip to Estero, FL is a JOKE.
