Note that the 10/16 RIT game is not on CU's official schedule, but it is on RIT's schedule. CU emailed me that it is happening and is an exhibition.

Put up CU Schedule in first post.

Does anyone, with better inroads than I, have any idea about formal announcement of the women's schedule?

The CU WIHCC, which is pretty reliable, says there’s still no word on when the schedule and roster will be announced.

Women's Ice Hockey

Dear George,

I write this letter from Calgary, Alberta. Calgary’s Winsport Arena is the new venue for the IIHF World Championships of Women’s Ice Hockey that was cancelled in Halifax, Nova Scotia, back in March 2021, due to Covid 19. It’s an honor to be an assistant coach with this squad. The Big Red has great representation in the final try-outs for World’s with Brianne Jenner, Rebecca Johnston, Jillian Saulnier and Micah Zandee-Hart, Kristin O’Neill and Jaime Bourbonnais all vying for a spot, on Team Canada. Cornell alumnae Sarah Knee and Lenka Serdar will represent Team Hungary and Team Czechia respectively. I hope to be able to catch up with Sarah and Lenka but with our “Covid bubbles” I’m not sure if it will be possible.


Three players from the Big Red are participating in development camps for USA Hockey and Hockey Canada. Congratulations to Rory Guilday who will skate at the 2021 USA Hockey Women’s National Festival (U23) and to Ashley Messier and Leah MacSween who are currently taking part in Hockey Canada’s National Women’s Development Team and the Next Gen team camps.

Congratulations to alumna Hannah Bunton on her new role with Hockey Canada as Coordinator and Hockey Operations for the National Women’s Program! She is currently working with the U18’s at the NextGen camp.

On the home front, at Cornell, you may have already seen that we have unveiled our new Freshmen Class of 2025. We look forward to welcoming Makenna Chokelal, Alexa Davis, Brynn Dulac, Rory Guilday, Angela Huo, Leah MacSween and Belle Mende on campus in a few weeks. Be sure to check out their intros on our Facebook and Instagram links below and also more detailed bios on them on cornellbigred.com .

Save the Dates…

August 11, 2021 at 7pm EST - Topher Scott will moderate a Virtual Forum in support of the Racker Center where he welcomes Cornell Alumnae Jaime Bourbonnais, Brianne Jenner, Rebecca Johnston, Kristin O’Neill, Jillian Saulnier and Micah Zandee-Hart who have all been centralized for Team Canada’s Olympic Team and hope to crack the roster for the 2022 Olympics, in Beijing. The Virtual Forum will be to help raise money for the Racker Center, and also to promote the Racker Rivals Big Red charity hockey game.

A little background on Topher: He is a former captain of the Cornell Big Red, was an assistant coach of the Big Red. Toph is passionate about helping others, period! He has done amazing work for the Racker Center and has given so much to the hockey community at large. He now has his own Company and Podcast called “The Hockey Think Tank”. Here is the link if you want to learn more: [thehockeythinktank.com]

August 14, 2021 at 4pm EST – Are you ready to #PackLynah? Well, I can’t think of a better game to attend to kick off the 2021-22 hockey season than The Racker Rivals Big Red Charity Hockey Game! This annual event began 8 years ago and has raised more than $700,000. The Pandemic could not get in the way of the importance of this event, and as everything during Covid, it went virtual. After a highly successful virtual event in 2020, TEAM RACKER will be battling to take back the trophy. If you can come to the game, you are in for some fun entertainment all for a great cause. Your efforts to raise money to support early childhood programs will help children and families in Central New York being served by the great team at Racker. To purchase your game tickets and/or to support the Rackers Center, please click on Racker Rivals Big Red

Looking forward to seeing you this season!

Oct. 16 at RIT (exhibition)
Oct, 22-23 vs. Mercyhurst
Jan. 11 at Penn State
Feb. 8 vs. Penn State

Syracuse hasn't posted their schedule yet, but there are usually 1 or 2 against the Orange.

So that pretty much completes the schedule, leaving Colgate Feb 4-5th.

Syracuse at Cornell on Nov. 9, per the Syracuse schedule. So that gives us all 7 non-conference games.

Cornell released its schedule, which does not include a game against RIT. (Though as of this post the game is still listed on the RIT schedule.)

interesting because the cornell band has already made plans to be at the RIT game.

The game is also listed as part of RIT's homecoming/family weekend. (The men's team is playing SLU at the Blue Cross Arena that evening.)

wouldnt put it past Cornell to remove a game and not tell the band or the opposing team.

Can we have the band take the ice against the opposing team? How are our trumpets at forechecking?

(No I am not aware of what instruments are actually in a pep band, thanks for asking.)

the band might beat the RIT girls right now.

CU emailed me that this game is a go, as an exhibition. I put it on the schedule.

Due to an ammonia leak last night at RIT's on-campus hockey rink, the Oct 16 game has been relocated to the Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester.
