2024-25 MEN'S SCHEDULE

Harvard
U-Conn
Did I miss anyone?

Cornell PR
This year's Frozen Apple game will be the sixth in the biennial series that dates back to the first contest in 2012 against Michigan, which was a 5-1 triumph for the Big Red. Cornell also defeated Penn State, 3-1, in 2014, New Hampshire, 3-1, in 2016, and UConn in 2022. The lone setback for Cornell in a Frozen Apple contest was against Harvard, 4-1, in 2018. [No 2020 game]

I don’t like the Quinnipiac matchup either. But most Cornell alums aren’t really going to care—the vast majority of casual Cornell hockey fans who just want an excuse to attend a big and exciting alumni event. Quinnipiac at least should bring some fans out, and that’s what matters most when schools are forking over a bunch of money to rent out MSG. I do wonder why other eastern schools like BC (apparently) aren’t interested.

Quinnipiac should be quite good again this season, having brought in another large and successful class of mercenaries who bolted from other schools, as well as a few strong freshmen.

BC, Michigan, and Penn State are the obvious ones for me. Large NYC alumni bases, not too far away. So not sure why BC is the lone holdout. Boston provincialism? They play at the the real “Gah-den” all the time.

I'm not surprised by the hate for the Q game but I like it.

I hate Q; they're the Atlanta Braves. But I want to solidify the rank ordering that the ECAC is Cornell and Quinnipiac / Huge Gap / Who cares?

And I believe our coaches are smarter and the more we play them the more we will figure out how to beat them in Lake Placid and then wherever.

The 2010 game against Colgate at the Prudential Center does not count, though it was Saturday evening of Thanksgiving weekend.

Cornell-Colgate Thanksgiving Saturday 2010 at the Prudential Center was

* a fabulously exiting game, Cornell coming from 3-1 down entering the third to earn a 4-3 regulation win

* a kind of sleepy atmosphere, the place more than two-thirds empty, 5,413 fans in a rink that held 17,625 at the time (and which has since been downsized to 16,592 in 2013 and two years late to 16,514).

Apropos of our playing another ECAC team, Quinnipiac, in a Frozen Apple MSG game, is the low Colgate/Prudential Center attendance significant because they're a same-league team we play twice a year in the RS .. Colgate was en route to an 11-28-1 season in 2010 and 2-8-1 going into the PruCenter game ... or because the game was played on the wrong side of the Hudson?

Gad, this Saul Steinberg New Yorker cover is coming up on 50 years old.

Spot on. Manhattanites, Brooklynites, and of course Long Islanders ain’t going to Jersey for a lousy hockey game.

TBH I always thought that cover was drawn in the 1930s. It is evergreen.

Isn't that the "cupcake" that tied Cornell twice last season and led 3-1 after two in the ECAC semifinals, nearly putting an end to Cornell's season?

Irrespective of Cornell's recent performances against Dartmouth, they will almost certainly be cupcakes for perennial powerhouse BC. I'd be happy to be proven wrong on this.

I guess you did!

Big Red to play four games in Czechia and Slovakia. Ondrej Psenicka hails from Praha, Czechia and Marian Mosko from Visolaje, Slovakia. The two countries comprised Czechoslovakia prior to the Velvet Revolution in 1989.

Will they be televised anywhere so we can watch?

Somebody message that new assistant coach and tell him to grab his phone, film from the bench to a zoom session or whatever.

According to Instagram we lost 6-1 in our first game.

And with zero goals!

Today Big Red won 4-1
Goals by Walsh, DeSantis, O’Leary and EN by Castagna

Who was in goal for CU?

Shane was.

So maybe a dumb question but this means we got to start team practice etc well ahead of the Ivy & ECACH calendar?

I think they come back and shut down practicing until normal time.

Just like all the BBall schools that do this type of trip.

Princeton has already indicated when hockey game tickets will be available for sale and some other schools in the conference are offering season tickets for purchase. Nothing from Harvard as of yet, oddly enough.

I believe the Harvard single game tickets go on sale October 1st, I haven't seen any of the stupid package deals mentioned this year, just season tickets or single games thus far ::fingers crossed::

I thought they already said the Harv tickets were a 2 game buy?

or do you mean away tickets?

Single-game tickets for Q home games went on sale this morning. The local Cornell Club usually gets a block of tickets as well. I expect Q will sell out most of their home games again.

I always smile when I have to pick whether I'm an Adult or Senior (how about Senior Adult). But when it comes to saving money, I guess I always prostitute myself.

They may "sell out" but I've never seen that building monument to concrete more than about 60% full.

Well shit... We got presale access to the away Harvard Cornell game and all they have is standing room only available, $180 for 4 standing room tickets. I called to check and yep, that's it. They do not anticipate having seats available when they go on general sale.

Fuck harvard

Tickets for the game at Princeton are going fast. And as the above poster said, no seated tickets for Harvard. They really dropped the ball this year

When I called the Harvard ticket office last month, they told me tickets for the Cornell game would go on sale at 10 a.m. on Oct. 1, and that's what their website said when I checked it again last week. As noted above, the only tickets they are selling now are standing room tickets for $40 apiece (not including any service charges).
Harvard sucks even more than usual!
Nice spelling by Harvard on its website:
Due to unprecedented presale demand, only Stading Room tickets are available for this game. If you are intersted in lower bowl seating, Flex Plans are still available by calling 617-495-2211.

Just got two tickets for at Princeton. Going very fast.

Actually called. Website is ng.

And it looks like at Yale goes onsale at precisely the same moment as the UND weekend at Lynah.

“Unprecedented” my ass, Harvard. We do this and go through this every single year. As usual you’ll have hundreds of SRO ticket-holders and see a 40% full bowl on the home side.
