Thanks,

Late March and April baseball in northern Maine .... brrr. No, BRRRRRRR!!!!
Husson has an interesting aspect to its program. He's not the coach anymore, but John Winkin who guided UMaine to Omaha in the 70's was their coach up until recently and I think still is 'around' the program. Age and health have slowed him physically, but Wink is a heck of a baseball guy.
Through generous benefactor(s), Wink got Husson an all weather playing surface I believe. (and, in Bangor, Maine you need it!)
Smaller, but growing school, added football a few years ago and has been slowly building their athletic program overall.

Winkin is 90 and in poor health. He sometimes attends games. I'm sure he (and his connections) had a lot to do with the improvements in the program.
About the weather... Probably very similar to the weather up here in Quebec, so I don't think it is a big issue!
Coach Harvey led them to a 33-14 overall record last year... Is it because it is a weak conference or he simply has a good/strong program!?
At the same time if anyone has any thoughts on New England College... That would be appreciated too!
