MAINEiacs Know Their Stats!
The Lewiston MAINEiacs’ hockey players in Alison
Joy Schafer’s Statistics class presented their final
team projects recently. The presentations were
based on actual scouting reports, with each team
analyzing an extensive database of a potential new
player. After doing a statistical analysis, each group
made a recommendation of whether or not they
should trade for that player. Pictured here from the
“left wing” team is Eric Gelinas, who plays that position
for the Maineiacs. The other MAINEiacs in the class were Alex Beaton,
Philip Wright, Etienne Brodeur, Eric Gelinas, Max Gratcher, Pierre-Oliver Morin, Lucas
Labelle, Danik Paquette, Dominic Savoie, Marc Bourgois, and Matt Bourdeau.
Most of the players on the MAINEiacs take courses at CMCC. In addition to Statistics,
the pucksters were also enrolled this fall in Introduction to Sociology, Speech and Oral
Communication, Principles of Economics, and Introduction to Sports Management.
CM Foundation Receives Scholarship Scramble Funds
Androscoggin Chamber President Chip Morrison, right, presented Dean
Roger Philippon with a check for the CM Education Foundation Scholarship
Fund at the Chamber After Hours held at Lost Valley earlier this
month. The check was from the proceeds of the ACCS/CMCC Scholarship
Scramble held in August. The event raised $42,000 for scholarships, with
half this amount going to the Foundation and half to the Chamber for its
scholarships to local high school students. The 2009 Scramble will be
held August 26 at Martindale Country Club in Auburn.
