While the Eastern Abenakis of Maine and the Western Abenaki of Canada are recognized by the state, provincial and national governments, the Abenaki populations residing in New Hampshire and Vermont face a continued struggle for recognition from their respective states and the federal government.

The Laurel and Abenakis clubs had disbanded, and none of the players on the Precocious club had played the year before.
