Hi ladies,

I hope everyone's exams went well and I hope everyone has an amazing winter break. Such a few housecleaning items. I heard back from Bates here is the email from them:



Hi all,



So sorry for the slow response to questions regarding the tournament.

Its been a bit of a hell week with finals and everything.



Here's whats going on with the tournament. Alaska had to back out for financial reasons and Maryland just backed out the other day for the same reason. So, as of right now it is Bates, UVM, Maine, and Slippery Rock.



If everyone is still interested we can do the following schedule:



Friday 1/14                 Home team                Away team

4:30-6:30pm                 Bates                    Slippery Rock

7:00-9:00pm                 Maine                    UVM



Saturday 1/15

1:00-3:00pm                 UVM                      Slippery Rock

3:30-5:30pm                 Maine                    Bates



Sunday 1/16

9:00-11:00am                Slippery Rock            Maine

11:30-1:30pm                UVM                      Bates

So as you can see it is still not 100%, so let's say 85%. Again I am so sorry for how annoying this has become. If it is causing any problems for anyone please let me know. If you need to make a decision on rides, or flights, travel, vacation, etc... it is fine if you cannot make it. I understand that it is difficult to do all of this on such short notice.

Also, as far as the rankings go. I have emailed the commissioner. Please do not worry about it I will take care of it. Just worry about what we are doing on the ice and everything will work itself out.

I will send out another email as soon as I hear from Bates, just wanted to get you up to date.
