Well, I have a sizable rumor about the state of Colby hockey for this upcoming season, but I will refrain from posting it until I have more information. I can say, however, that they may not play this season and that it's unrelated to the current lack of a head coach.
If Colby cancels its season, that will impact the whole league. There may even be monetary penalties. That's a tough call. Not to mention that I might have to get a life this winter.
Is there a real chance they will cancel their season? I read the article posted, and unless all of the students involved were hockey players, why would they be the only team punished?
Moore to Colby or Trinity
Let's hope it's a better source than yours and the cancellation of the entire seasonSource?
It's official, Stan Moore is the interim head coach at Colby. The announcement is on the NESCAC Website.
Why "interim" ? ?
My guess, likely he isn't interested in it full time - or are currently unable to meet or unsure they want to meet his demands for taking it full-time.

Given his situation, I can't imagine a better opportunity for Moore. The Board of Trustees probably has some kind of policy regarding hiring on short notice. If he's a good fit, he most likely will be offered a permanent job after the season. Tough first couple of games, Stan. Best of luck!
Doubtful -- the guy is basically an out-of-work college hockey coach who wants to live in the Waterville area (because that's where his wife and children live) and doesn't have a lot of choices if he wants to stay in Maine and return to coaching college hockey.
He is only around 56, so retirement isn't likely to soon, and he did move to Maine for the sake of his family. The question is does he WANT to continue coaching full time? That said, his demands for taking it full-time need not be strictly financial, for example, he may want less responsibilities (i.e. the ability to spend the time with his family that he wants to) than the school would like. Given his pedigree and record/accomplishments, I don’t think he would take on a position he didn’t feel he could give 100% to. No doubt, he has much to offer and has the potential to be an asset to ANY division III school.
