didn’t someone try to pass it off as too much puddin’ for the boys?
trumpish disinformation from the sound of it

You have an excellent memory

and if you bothered reading the NCAA report, you’d see the pudding violation…that, and the”borrowed a truck to move furniture when that same truck was not on loan to every other student at the university

Among the various infractions "too much pudding" was definitely one of them. From the infractions report:

"Between 1986 and 1994, numerous men's ice hockey student-athletes received extra benefits, including lodging and meals, from representatives of the institution's athletics interests through a sponsor-family program. The institution and head men's ice hockey coach failed to prevent the benefits from continuing even after the formal discontinuation of the program in 1991."

"During the 1984-85 through 1993-94 academic years, men's ice hockey student-athletes received extra benefits when they were provided meals in the dining hall that were not part of their financial aid awards."

Not sure where the whole video taping practices thing came from but that wasn't anything that was listed in the report so I'm guessing it's just rumor.

I thought it was *mostly* about Cal Ingraham transferring from Air Force with one too few credit hours..?

(But, yeah, it was certainly an egregious violation of NCAA rules if a local mom served the boys some meat loaf. Probably should have shot the entire team for that.)

Definitely a lot more to it than Cal, but most of it is stuff that we’d scoff at nowadays in the NIL era. Hell most of it was probably overkill back then if we’re being honest…

But all those infractions added up to the point where they used the dreaded “lack of institutional control” in the doc which kind of forced the NC$$ to do something.

I’ll link the full report for those curious when I’m on my PC in the morning: LINK

Fowler being suspended for this game will be a big factor tonight. I feel like PC wins a close match. They are a solid team top to bottom and they have a really good goalie. As long as The Friars keep the scoring of Leonard and Perrault to a minimum, they should get the win.

Korec played very well and could be a starter for many teams. BC took the 2nd period off and left Korec out to dry like in the previous game with Fowler in net.

Knowing who he borrowed the truck from I'll guarantee their was more to that infraction :)

I think Korec fit in seamlessly and will replace Fowler next year without issue. BC's biggest issue is that they have long lapses of piss poor defensive play..it's almost like they are bored. They have the talent to blow out half the league if they wanted to.
 
Maine is playing for 2nd place this season along with BU, Providence and UMass-Lowell. Would love to get a shot at the Eagles again at the Garden....preferably in the championship game. Maine is still in the running for a #1 NCAA seed as well but they are going to have to take down Denver at least once for that to happen....plus win at a pretty high clip in the league.

Yeah, thought the same thing. A borrowed truck or a meal would be an utterly laughable "violation" now, never mind the one credit hour.

Let's go ahead and acknowledge that there were $20 dollar handshakes up the framma-zamma back in The Day. it was just a question of who got caught.

I actually like how it is now, better. Far less sanctimonious BS.
 
I read this today in the preview of the game on goblackbears.com “Current Maine assistant coach Alfie Michaud had seven career wins against UNH, including a stretch of five-straight beginning with a Feb. 1, 1998 win and stretching to the April 3, 1999 National Championship, 3-2, overtime win at Arrowhead Pond.” I question if this is true because I remember UNH swept Maine at Whitemore that year at the end of the regular season. Maybe he didn’t play in that series at UNH? Morrison played in 11 games that year, but I doubt he would have played in that UNH series to close the season unless Alfie was hurt.

His streak was five games, but that stretch was from 2/1/98 - 2/7/99.

They got swept by UNH in that series on 3/5/99 & 3/6/99. Alfie started both games losing 6-1 and 4-1, but Morrison came in for relief in the Friday game.

Next game they played against each other was the Natty and we know how that turned out hehe

Right, so the game preview verbiage was wrong. I agree with you on the hehe.
 
Well Maine didn’t get any points last year down at UNH, with two tries. I would be happy if they come away with any points tonight.
