Weiland will probably juggle the first two lines quite a bit, in an effort to find the best scoring combinations before the start of this year's ECAC tournament...
After it decided the NCAA was serious, the AAU announced it was ready to allow some NCAA representation, but only on terms which would allow the AAU to maintain control.
