Good to know so when I start negotiating my job offers I can ask for the March 1 weekend off

What is meant by 'Canadian scrimmage'? Just the Canadian players on the team will scrimmage each other a la red-white game? That makes no sense.

Also, why will the RIT game be on neutral territory? Is there MORE construction planned for Lynah?

I assume a scrimmage with a Canadian team.
The RIT game is at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, therefore neutral, sort off.

I guess they learned their lesson this year when under 200 people showed up for the Niagra-Colgate game.

If Cornell fans don't turn out better than they did last year for the Niagara game at BCA -- it will be a home game for RIT. Granted it was Thanksgiving weekend, but with all the Cornell alums in Rochester I thought the turnout was disappointing.

RIT's coach has reportedly been working on this for a while. They're trying to get broader community support (Rochester is a pretty strong hockey town -- the Amerks draw well and junior hockey is popular and successful) and the city needs to learn what D1 sports are all about. For Cornell, getting in front of Rochester youth players is a great idea. Rochester could be a strong recruiting area for Cornell. I'd like to see them play up there every few years -- either against RIT or a strong WCHA or CCHA team that needs a bigger gate than Lynah might provide. This is also an opportunity for Cornell fans to show how willing they are to support the team in Rochester. If BCA manages its Regional well this spring they will probably get more in the future. It wouldn't hurt to plant that seed in the NCAA's mind.

Jim, thanks for putting this together.

Forgive my ignorance, but I thought the definition of a scrimmage was that it was the team playing itself, like in a practice? Is there a broader definition that includes opposing teams?

maybe they put all the Canadians on one side and the rest of the players on the other and play each other

Fri 16 Harvard Away 7:00

^--- is it too early to call the Harvard ticket office and place our orders yet?

Odd that the Harvard game is in the fall again. Seems it alternates between fall and spring each year.

The lax team plays "scrimmages" vs. other teams every season.

Well, CU scrimmaged IC in football. We have had lacrosse scrimmages. Scrimmages don't have to be complete games. You may play Red Zone offense-defense, practice punts and kickoffs, 4 on 4, PP and PK, etc..

If las224 is asking about what distinguishes scrimmages from exhibition games, this is it. Both don't "count" but exhibitions take on the appearance/rules of real games.

It does. 2006-07, home is in fall and away is in the spring; 2007-08, it's the opposite. What are you seeing that's odd?

And scrimmages are typically not open to the public, right?

Is the BU game at MSG part of a two-fer and if so who else will we see?

No, many scrimmages are open. I think the IC-CU football scrimmages are open, as were some past lacrosse ones. Red-White has certainly been open.

I don't know if anyone pointed this out yet, but the 2008 ECAC Quarterfinals weekend conflicts with the first weekend of Cornell's spring break and the semis in Albany coincide with the second weekend of spring break. The playoff weekends are one week later (compared to Cornell's academic calendar) than they have been since at least 2005.

There is a USCHO Extra article from a couple of days ago about various interconference matchups for next season. [www.uscho.com]

Relevant to Cornell:

As for the Terriers' Thanksgiving plans, they are not as settled as some might expect. There has been speculation about a BU-Cornell game at Madison Square Garden, but this remains unconfirmed for now. "We're playing Cornell Thanksgiving weekend; we're not sure where," Terrier coach Jack Parker said.

Among coaches we spoke to, there was some confusion about where BC will play its holiday tournament. One report had BC joining Maine, Cornell, and Clarkson at the Florida College Classic, but several others believed that BC would be accompany Air Force and RIT to the Dodge Holiday Classic, with the Golden Gophers hosting as usual.

Minnesota wouldn't add a tough team like BC to their annual cupcake classic, so I expect to see them in Florida.

I would agree but for a different reason. BC will be playing in the Icebreaker at Minnesota along with Michigan and RPI. I suspect that someone mixed up when BC was going there. (I won't comment upon who the designated cupcake in the Ice Breaker will be. )

The tentative document that I have seen says Florida will consist of us, Maine, UMass-Lowell and Clarkson (I wonder what song Estero will play after a Clarkson goal, what with no real fight song...). IIRC, the director of the Mariucci Holiday Classic did mention BC when talking about next year's field.

With apologlies to Rich-you-know-who, Cornell-Maine plus UMass-Lowell plus Clarkson is not a great field for filling the place. Bringing in a powerhouse team with a big alumni base really makes the place rock the first night. Ohio State and Notre Dame were great for the tournament. UNH, too, for that matter. The bigger the school, the more likely you are to have alumni in the area or alumni interested in a nice late-December trip.

Problem may be that having Cornell and Maine as hosts represents a tough mountain for some teams to climb.

I think the problem here is that the big alumni schools are already tied to tourny obligations.

Here are the largest schools by enrollment in the US (probably an indicator of alumni numbers). Top D-1 hockey schools among them:

03 Ohio State
04 Minnesota
08 Michigan State
15 Wisconsin
18 Michigan
41 Wayne State
54 BU
68 Western Michigan
106 Harvard (?)

This quote is in this week's USCHO's ECACHL column. Grand Forks!?!

Schafer agreed, noting successful arrangements with BU, North Dakota and New Hampshire in the next few years.

"We could [buy home games], but we attempt to reciprocate," he said, referring to the commonly practiced art of paying smaller programs to play at your rink.

Schafer feels that Cornell requires "a minimum of 15 or 16 home games" to meet budget requirements, leaving only two or three games open for non-conference road trips.

North Dakota traveled to Cheel in 99 and Appleton in 01, so I could imagine them coming to Lynah.
Hey, who knows, maybe they really like upstate NY!

since PRI bonus points are now awarded only for OOC road wins vs. top 15 teams, coming to Lynah would be an opportunity to pick up that bonus. One problem with being an Ivy team with a limited schedule is that we have very few (none this year) opportunities to pick up those points.

FYP. Other than that, that's what I was going to say.

I'm going to assume that the NoDak fans are serious college hockey supporters. The historical and recent success of both schools make this a fun OOC draw for the fans out West also when we travel there.

There will be changes to the schedule...it appears they are over the contest limitations as set by the Ivy League.

I hope the subtext here isn't that NoDak has won the Riley sweepstakes & the schools want to schedule a brother vs brother series. Regardless, that would be a road trip that can't be missed.

Bump... the CHA Faceoff I got via email today confirms the schedule as Jim posted it, with the change of "Concordia" in place of "Canadian Scrimmage" and flipping some travel partners.

Looks like a pretty complete schedule. No way we're having a game the night before BU, and it seems like there's usually only one game the weekend after New Year's.

Seems pretty obvious that the Florida tournament would have Cornell-Lowell, Clarkson-Maine as the Friday games.

Why not Cornell-Maine, Clarkson-Lowell? Based on last year, you'd have to argue that the top two "seeds" in the tourney would be Clarkson and Maine, so they shouldn't meet in the semi.

why not set it up so that it is just a series of games, not a tourney? that way you could ensure that cornell/clarkson and maine/lowell don't play each other. we see enough of eachother with the conference schedule

Valid point. But salling it a tournament probably sounds better (advertising) and some folks like to play for some hardware, even if it's relatively minor.

Of course, the real solution is to have no other EzCAC team than Cornell and not other HEA team than Maine. But that's more easily said than done.

What I posted is exactly what I got from the CHA. All I meant is that there seemed to be some travel partner flips from what you had originally posted in October. Although it looks the same now so perhaps if you didn't already change those, then perhaps I was just getting confused when comparing and matched a home and away weekend incorrectly.

Yeah, I think you have to at least score in the NCAA tourney to be considered "back." Especially as a *cough* number one seed.

According to UMass's 07-08 schedule announcement, they're coming to Lynah on Friday 11/30 (the weekend after the BU game at MSG). The (updated, I believe) first post in this thread has us playing Mercyhurst that night and the next, but Mercyhurst's schedule announcement has them playing a home-and-home with Canisius that weekend. So I guess my three questions are...

A) Is this accurate? If so, UMass is certainly a better opponent than Mercyhurst.
B) When does our schedule officially get announced?
C) Since we were set to play two with Mercyhurst, who are we filling the extra slot with?

Who knows is probably the correct answer to all three questions. Coach Schafer probably has a good idea, but our schedule is always a work in progress. That said, I suspect what you have announced is correct and they will announce the schedule once that final Mercyhurst position is filled. That's why they always have more TBA slots listed than they can actually play.

Hoping for UMass. Speaking of them, Quick went pro correct?

According to UMass's 07-08 schedule announcement, they're coming to Lynah on Friday 11/30 (the weekend after the BU game at MSG). The (updated, I believe) first post in this thread has us playing Mercyhurst that night and the next, but Mercyhurst's schedule announcement has them playing a home-and-home with Canisius that weekend. So I guess my three questions are...

A) Is this accurate? If so, UMass is certainly a better opponent than Mercyhurst.
B) When does our schedule officially get announced?
C) Since we were set to play two with Mercyhurst, who are we filling the extra slot with?

Seeing as there are two indipendant sources(mercyhurst and Umass) reporting this, it's probably safe to assume that Mercyhurst won't be coming and UMass will. Great news, Umass won't be as good as they where last year, but they're a legitimate hockey east contender.

As to the remaining spot: Since the Mercyhurst games where both home games, I don't think there's any doubt that this game will be too, the AD needs the revenue. It's only 1 game, so I think we can rule out WCHA and CCHA team, they won't make the trip just for one game. All ECAC teams can be ruled out for obvious reasons (has Cornell ever scheduled a third regular season game with a team within the ECAC?) Leaving Hockey East, Atlantic Hockey, and Robert Morris and Niagra as possible opponents. I'm guessing it's a little late to lure any of the perennial Hockey east powers to Lynah for just one game (lets define these as BU,BC, Maine, and UNH.) Vermont would be an interesting match up, the history is certainly there. I'm not sure if it's time to include them as a perennial power yet.

A few years ago we had Thanksgiving weekend games against Colgate at Nassau Coliseum. BU at MSG is a step up both in opponent appeal (nothing against Colgate as an opponent but we already see them twice a year) and in venue quality.

Didn't Schafer or Dick Umile at last year's Florida tournament, mention an upcoming home-and-home with UNH?

Schafer has mentioned that Cornell would be playing BU, UNH, and NoDak in upcoming seasons. UNH looks all set for next year.

hmm, that link didn't work for me. If this is true, then all of a sudden next year's schedule looks pretty strong with BU, UNH, UMass and possibly Maine, as out of conferance opponents. Though this is somewhat undercut by a weeker than usual everblades field.

He didn't say all during the same season. I'd strongly doubt that.

he said BU, UNH and NoDak. I never mentioned NoDak as part of next season (as I said before:they wouldn't come to Lynah for just 1 game, and vice versa.)

We already know that BU is on the docket for next year, and ithacat says UNH looks promising for next year too (I can't open the link so I have no idea what it says.)

I was able to open the link this morning. Now, I cannot open it. When I looked at this morning, it showed UHN's 2007-08 Men's Hockey schedule. I found no mention of Cornell in that schedule. I wonder what ithacat saw that I did not.

I think ithacat just meant that UNH's schedule looked set. No mention of Cornell, no TBAs. So it wouldn't be possible this (upcoming) year, though Schafer had previously mentioned that there would be some games with them at some indefinite point in the future.

ah yes, that reading makes more sense.

Thanks, Liz. Please feel free to clarify any of my future obfuscations.
