Found a link to this interesting article on the ECAC website concerning the league commissioners' views on D-1 hockey. Forgive me for not providing a summary nor for an explicit reference to Cornell hockey.

What is your league's major 2-3-year goal?
"Enhance our league's financial situation to the benefit of our members," Hagwell said. "And ensure a smooth and successful transition to our new championship site in Atlantic City, New Jersey, (beginning in 2011.)"

ECAC commissioner Hagswell says the short-term goal is "To have a team in our league win the national championship." That is, on the 21st anniversary of the last time an ECAC team won it, and as opposed to a 2-3 year goal.
Story says 10 D1 teams have dropped out in the past 20 years.

Is college hockey getting more dangerous?

Someone should do a retrospective epidemiological study (if one hasn't been done already).

Bottom line:
In conclusion, these data indicate that the risk and rate of injury in intercollegiate athletics are relatively low (1 injury every 2 games and 1 injury every 5 practices for a team of 50 participants) and that most reported injuries do not result in substantial time loss (ie, they are minor-severity to moderate-severity injuries). Most importantly, these data highlight potentially modifiable factors that, if addressed through injury prevention initiatives, may be able to reduce injury rates in collegiate sports even further. Using the 4-step injury prevention model proposed by van Mechelen et al, 22 in which we (1) identify the problem, (2) establish etiology and mechanisms, (3) develop, evaluate, and implement interventions, and (4) reevaluate the effect via continued surveillance, the ISS is perfectly positioned to assist with the first and last steps of this process. The ISS can also be used to (1) guide informed decision making regarding issues such as appropriate medical care staffing and sport-specific safety, (2) identify naturally occurring injury rate peaks and valleys, (3) identify new emerging issues (eg, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections), and (4) evaluate “before” and “after” effectiveness of safety policy implementation. Because few evidence-based injury prevention programs currently exist specific to collegiate sports, the most critical need is to establish causes and mechanisms for the most burdensome injuries and to develop, evaluate, and implement injury prevention interventions over the next decade.

Thanks, that was a great article. The concussion data in Table 2 was most surprising to me - Football < mens ice hockey (same as women's soccer) << women's ice hockey (More than 2x football)
