Any guesses on how long it will take fans of the teams immediately below us to proclaim that they should be above us once they have a few easy wins under their belts? Too lazy to check the schedules, but I assume that OSU, BC, NoDak, et. al. will play at least a couple cupcakes before our first game...

Chances are UND won't return the trip (I could be wrong and would like if I was, but I figure not). Hence, Cornell wouldn't do it. The rest are pretty much local rivals for them (UNH is arguable, but they certainly travel to Boston enough anyway).

You left out another game vs. BU (they have one at home, and another in the first round of the beanpot). So they have exactly one home OOC game - that would never be acceptable to Schafer, regardless of return trips in later years. I agree with him - this should be about hockey, not money, and we've been a legit top-10 team for the last 4-5 years (stupid Clarkson series notwithstanding :-( ). Other teams have to reciprocate, period.

Great news

This is very good news, and not that unexpected. While I certainly agree this ranking has no bearing on our end result, the respect is well deserved by our team. Sure it draws the attention of our opponents, but it also catches the eyes of recruits. Hopefully all of this will continue to build in the upcoming years. I remember when Mark Mazzoleni came to Harvard 8 years ago he commented that he thought Harvard could be the "Michigan" of the ECAC. Good vision, but wrong team.

As for the upcoming season, we have a great oppotunity to return to the FF. Barring major injuries, I still think our league opponents are a notch below us this year and I still think the early games against MSU will be the key to our seeding.

As for Harvard's OOC schedule, they have the potential to go .500 against those teams. As nice as it would be if they beat those teams from our standpoint, it might be too much to ask from the third best hockey school and second best academic school in Boston. :-P

This is going to be fun to watch. Wish I had tix.

Yeah, this isn't lacrosse. Having a strong non-conference schedule doesn't help you if you lose all of them.

[/q]They're not going to get smoked because they play in the EZAC (I could see us winning 4 or 5 games out of the 7 NC games they have). They're going to get smoked because they graduated three of their top seven forwards, two of their top three defensemen, and the goalie who played the vast majority of their minutes for the last four years. They've still got some talent in Pelle and others, but that schedule is brutal. They take four points out of those games, tops, and that's assuming they don't stink it up in the Beanpot.

I think he meant "watch" as in "pay attention to."

On the other hand, I can't find a TV schedule on USCHO, either, other than a thread on the discussion board. But we already know for sure that some college hockey games will be on TV this year, as every year.

Good question. A quick survery from last year showed the opening poll last year really ranked 30 teams (15 in the actual polls, and 15 in "also receiving votes";). This year's opening poll they have 39 ranked teams (20 in the actual poll, and 19 "also receiving votes";).

There are only 58 D-I college hockey programs. That means only 19 schools didn't get a vote in the opening poll! Princeton, Union, and Yale were the 3 from the ECACHL.

By the end of last year, the poll only ranked 22 teams (15 in the actual polls, and 7 in the "also receiving votes";). I guess they figured they had at least 20 "ranked teams" all year, so they should expand the polls.

Bottom line : It's overkill to rank 20 teams.

59, actually, with the addition of RIT this year. Though they are still D-I Independent and will play a few games against D-III opponents, they should still be counted, particularly since they are on our nonconference slate this season.

No kidding. We went to see the Huskies pre-season "Matthew's Madness" Red-White game (yes, Red-White) last weekend. Obviously it's pretty early to judge anything, but I think that the Huskies are going to have a(nother) tough year. But perhaps the new coach will shake things up a bit, but in the pre-season Hockey Least poll they are picked to finish 9th, with Merrimack beating them for 10th place (fwiw, Vermont's picked for the 6th spot).

I think someone posted a while ago that Doug Murray had no problem with laying hits on his own guys in the Red-White game. Well, the kid wearing number 6 (appropriately) for their "red" team seemed to have no problem hacking his own teammates to death. We hoped the coach told him to do so because otherwise I would say it isn't a good way to make friends. (I'll try to track down the roster for his name later and edit the post if I find it).
