Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: Dartmouth Game - 22 days ago
Side note - did anyone else notice just how ugly Dartmouth's uniforms were? It seems we were playing against a bunch of guys in convict gear. Almost as ugly as the old Seattle Metropolitans jerseys from 100+ years ago (I'm sure the Kraken will wear something like that for a throwback night....)by Chris H82 - Hockey
Name / Image / Likeness & CU/Ivy - 3 months ago
(not sure if this is a topic for "Hockey" or "Other Sports", but I figure if any CU athlete is going to make any $ out of NIL, it'd be hockey, so I'm putting this here)v Reading an article about NIL this morning got me thinking - has the Ivy League or Cornell Athletics or any coaches made any announcements about this yet? The article talks about Syracuse hoops, so it soundsby Chris H82 - Hockey

Trotsky Todd RI grew up about 2 miles from that -35 degree sign. I assume that picture was taken in August. I'm in Montana these days, where it's similar to NoDak: I'll try to make it to GF if the pandemic recedes as hoped....by Chris H82 - Hockey
Re: Opponent News 19-20 - 8 months ago
The new Seattle NHL team is lending a hand to the UAA program, There's a mention of possibly hosting a 4 team tournament in Seattle - the 2 Alaska teams and 2 others. Wonder if this could be a possibility for us, given the demise of the Florida tournament. I know we recruit a lot in BC.....by Chris H82 - Hockey
Re: Greatest Game? - 10 months ago
For games I saw, yeah, the 1986 Final. Circumstances made it even better. I'd flown back east to Burlington VT on Friday for a former co-worker's wedding on Saturday, planning to catch up with another co-worker (a Clarkson grad). When we saw the semi results on Saturday morning, we started scheming excuses to leave early (it was a dry reception, anyway) and make it to Boston for the final. Thby Chris H82 - Hockey

"Beartown" quote - 11 months ago
Came across an interesting hockey book (fiction) while strolling the neighborhood. Title is "Beartown", written in 2016 by Fredrik Backman. The premise is a small (Swedish) town's love for their youth hockey team, and how over the edge that "love" can go when a player commits an act of sexual violence. Before that violence and the reactions, though, there's a bit of dialoby Chris H82 - Hockey
Re: Future Frozen Four Sites Announced - 1 year ago
I'm hoping that, with the Kraken being an NHL team as of the 2021 season, we'll get a Frozen Four in Seattle one of these years. Per this list, looks like it won't be for a while.by Chris H82 - Hockey

I've gotta plead ignorance to the "You're not Dave" cheer - assuming it's a zamboni reference. Can someone fill me in?by Chris H82 - Hockey

Was the crowd as loud and sustained in their cheering as it sounded on the radio? Or was that just wishful hearing on my part?by Chris H82 - Hockey
Re: Fortress Invitational - 1 year ago
They played a winter break tourney at least once in Vancouver BC, I think in the 90s. That's about 400 miles further than Vegas. I'm hoping that the new NHL team coming into Seattle sponsors a tourney like this and invites us to play. 20 minute bus ride for me.by Chris H82 - Hockey

Re: Cornell Football 2019 - 2 years ago
If you want to get a feel for the atmosphere around the IRA in the 30s, read "the Boys in the Boat", by Daniel James Brown. It's great story, even though Cornell only gets a few mentions.by Chris H82 - Other Sports
Re: 2020 Recruits (and beyond) - 2 years ago
Nothing specific Cornell in this article, but a good explanation about the development of junior hockey options in the US, specifically the USHL and the National Team Development Program; Seattle Times article - US junior options.by Chris H82 - Hockey

You, Sir, are correct! 1981 ECAC Final, in the Gahden.by Chris H82 - Hockey
Name that game... - 2 years ago
cleaning out a closet the other day, and I came across this old photo of a game against Providence. Kind of fitting, as that was the last game of this past season. Bonus points if you can name the specific game...by Chris H82 - Hockey
Re: Bracketology 2019 - 2 years ago
scoop85 ugarte scoop85 More of this pleaseMy son was 9 months old and I woke him up yelling when Barlow scored that goal and I reminded my wife of it when I watched that clip and let me tell you she is not even a little less mad about it. You mean my wife isn’t the only one who thinks screaming at the tube during a Cornell game is insane? You've got company here - I'll wager lots of company!by Chris H82 - Hockey
Re: Cornell football 2018 - 3 years ago
I went to that Stanford game - we all went nuts when we got a first down. But my best memory is when the Stanford Tree (mascot) came out on the field, the Cornell crowd (not a small group) stood up and, in the best Lynah tradition, started pointing and chanting "What the F#$% is that? What the F#$% is that?...". Made me proud to be a Cornell grad.by Chris H82 - Other Sports
Re: Cornell lacrosse 2018 - 3 years ago
Like Trotsky, I too could use some remedial lax education. But here's a theory (which is mine). After watching the reply a couple of times, it looks like the Syracuse player's left (warding) arm went in between the Cornell defenseman's stick and body, thus pulling the Cornell player into him (and onto him) as he lost his balance. So was the penalty on the Syracuse player? Or is this theory the rby Chris H82 - Other Sports

I did a quick check on the start of the women's game on 1/30; free, but low-res as noted.by Chris H82 - Hockey
Re: Clarkson game 2/9 - broadcast? - 3 years ago
Thanks for the link, it appears that they'll be broadcasting the women's game on Jan 30. I'll test that to see if it works, and will post my results.by Chris H82 - Hockey
