Maine Hockey Coach Suspended

Compiled From Wire Services

Shawn Walsh, who coached Maine’s hockey team to a national championship in 1993, was suspended by the university for one year for violating NCAA rules.

Walsh’s suspension without pay was one of several actions announced after the university completed its 18-month investigation of Maine’s athletic programs.

Among other things, the investigators concluded that Walsh violated the terms of an earlier suspension by accepting “supplemental income” from boosters of the hockey program in December 1993.

Vladimir Vorobyov’s third-period goal gave Russia a 2-1 victory over Sweden and the Izvestia Cup championship for the 23rd time in 28 years.
