UMaine Hockey Much Improved

ORONO, MAINE (WABI)- Last winter was not a good one for UMaine hockey. They finished 11th in Hockey East managing only five conference wins all season.

Before this year the league’s coaches picked UMaine to finish last.

But UMaine seems to have turned the corner. They are in the middle standings and they at this point are starting to feel better about themselves.

Maine wins 5-2 and pretty much dominated this one to complete the weekend sweep. They are now 10-7-1 and move to HE games with a biggie next Saturday at BU. They are actually fun to watch
