Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: Women 2023-24 - 5 weeks ago
Stonehill is only in its second year as a DI program. At one point this season, both of their goalies were injured and a defenseman had to play goal.by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: ECAC Playoffs 2024 - 5 weeks ago
Reducing the first round of the ECAC playoffs to a one-and-done certainly increases the odds of an upset. Since I'm too lazy to look this up myself, how many times has the No. 12 seed knocked off the No. 5 seed since the ECAC expanded the playoffs to all 12 teams? I'm assuming it's not that common an occurrence.by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: ECAC 2024 Discussion Thread - 5 weeks ago
Watching the RPI-Clarkson game reminds me of something I noticed when I watched Cornell play up there a few weeks ago. There was no real visitor's penalty box in Cheel Arena. They just opened up the door which led to the visiting team's locker room and the visiting player who was penalized had to stand there until he was released from the penalty box. However, it now looks like they have put a beby dbilmes - Hockey

Re: Women 2023-24 - 6 weeks ago
Weder Colgate wins 5-1. Cornell was pretty much locked into the No. 6 spot in the Pairwise, so there is a pretty good chance they’re going to be back in Hamilton next week for a first-round NCAA game, with the winner playing Colgate. If that's the case, and we get by our first-round game, no one beats Cornell four times in a season!by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: New athletic director Nicki Moore - 7 weeks ago
Local Motion So far I have been very impressed by Nicki Moore and she has a bright future on the East Hill. The Cornell AD position is a great job at a major university without the overwhelming pressure of a Power 5 Conference. Ithaca is a beautiful college town and nice for families, so we hope she is enjoying her job at Cornell. Go Big Red! You can tell she is doing a good job because sheby dbilmes - Other Sports

dag14 marty ugarte Posting the game thread early to note that the womens' QF is pushing the start time for the Union game back to 7:30. Is there an admission fee for the women? I'm wondering if I might be able to arrive early enough to see that quarterfinal. At least for this round, women's playoff tickets are $5.00.

Re: Women 2023-24 - 7 weeks ago
Cornell captures all the major awards for All-Ivy honors. Derraugh is Coach of the Year for the 5th time. Daniel is Player of the Year. Bergmann is Rookie of the Year. And more! Considering that Cornell was 9-1 in Ivy play, outscoring its opponents 53-16, the honors weren't a surprise. But even so, it's nice to see the program get the well-deserved recognition.by dbilmes - Hockey
Webinar on Cornell lacrosse dynasty - 7 weeks ago
In case you haven't received an email about this yet, I will be moderating a webinar on the Cornell lacrosse dynasty of the 1970s. We have three players from that era participating, along with Christian Swezy, who wrote the book "We Showed Baltimore: The Lacrosse Revolution of the 1970s and Richie Moran's Big Red." The webinar will be Tuesday, March 12, at 7:30 p.m. This contains moreby dbilmes - Other Sports

Mitch Henderson and James Jones both noted as possibly moving on. Slightly insulted, but pleased if true. Jones is 60, and has been the coach at Yale since 1999. Given his consistent success, it's safe to assume he's had opportunities to move on. He trailsby dbilmes - Other Sports

Re: Womens Basketball - 2 months ago
mountainred scoop85 dbilmes The saddest thing about the women's basketball program is that due to years of mediocrity, there is no fan base and no excitement about the program. The official attendance for their home loss to Yale on Saturday was 183. It can't help recruiting efforts if potential players watch a game either in person or on TV and see it being played before such a small crowd. Corneby dbilmes - Other Sports
Re: Brown vs. Cornell 2/16 - 2 months ago
Does anyone know what was going on when several players from each team knelt in a circle at center ice after the game? Was it a prayer circle? Has it happened at other games this season?by dbilmes - Hockey
Re: Women 2023-24 - 2 months ago
The tying goal late in the third period was a fluke shot from the point which hit a rut on the ice and bounced over the goaltender's shoulder. The winning goal in OT was a power-play goal by Izzy Daniel after the Brown announcer was irate over the penalty call, which was for interference off the opening faceoff. He said that had been going on all game without being called. In any case, the Brownby dbilmes - Hockey

According to an email sent out earlier today by the Athletics Department, the Yale game is a sellout but there are still tickets available for the Brown game tonight. Cornell can clinch the Ivy title with a sweep this weekend.by dbilmes - Hockey

ACM dbilmes After scoring 21 goals two weeks ago against Dartmouth and Yale, Cornell has had a tough time scoring goals, scoring just four each of the past two weekends. The caliber of the opponents has been better, but both teams Cornell played this weekend are in the lower half of the ECAC standings. By "Yale", you mean "Harvard", right?

Re: Men’s Basketball 23-24 - 2 months ago
It was a great game to watch in person, although surprisingly it wasn't close to being a sell-out. I was surprised to see the Cornell cheerleaders make the road trip. Do they do that for all Ivy road games? You knew Yale was going to tighten things up in the second half. With 4 seconds left I almost had hope that we were going to win. The shot Mannon made over Yale's 7-footer to give us the leaby dbilmes - Other Sports

NLRB rules that Dartmouth basketball players can unionize Rick Pitino isn't one of my favorite people, but in the aftermath of this ruling he actually made a suggestion which I've been saying for a long time. He's calling for colleges to pay salaries to the athletes, and quit the facade (at least at many schools) of the "student-athlete.&quoby dbilmes - Other Sports
