Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Great stuff. - 19 years ago
Thanks. Sounded like a tough loss. Now 0-3-2 away from Lynah.by ithacat - Hockey

Keep the pressure on...so I'm not a big Beagles fan. 2-2 end of 2nd. I just wanted to take a break from the game thread. Whew.by ithacat - Hockey
Heck, just move it to NYC. - 19 years ago
Look what it did for Big East basketball. Before the Big East & NYC, Niagara & St. Bonaventure were about as big as Syracuse.by ithacat - Hockey
Re: RIT to go D-I - 19 years ago
Don't know how happy the NCAA was with Cornell's handling of the 2004 NCAA lax quarterfinals with the scoreboard woes and under-supplied refreshment stands. Who was at the games - was it really that bad? I was at those games -- the lacrosse was great. The experience was terrible. The facility needs a major upgrade. The concessions are too small and under supplied (they ran out of water at oneby ithacat - Hockey
Re: RIT to go D-I - 19 years ago
This is all in regard to the AH tournament and the NCAAs...it'd be great for Rochester, which is a good hockey town, and hopefully would allow Cornell fans to travel a couple of hours once in awhile for NCAA games.by ithacat - Hockey
Announcement tomorrow - 19 years ago
A few interesting paragraphs from the article on USCHO... DeGregorio and Dillon also met with management of the Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester about making it a permanent home for the annual Atlantic Hockey championships. The D-I committee has awarded a 2007 regional to the recently renovated 11,215-seat venue that is home to the AHL Rochester Americans. "It's another nice pieceby ithacat - Hockey
Re: RIT to go D-I - 19 years ago
I would hope that if Cornell playing RIT on the road it would be in Blue Cross. I think 6,000 would be a breeze -- I'm curious if they could draw 10,000. Match that game with an Amerks game and you might sell the place out. A fun double-header could be Cornell-RIT and IHS-McQuaid, which wouldn't sell the place out but it would be a blast. Are there any rules prohibiting College & HS orby ithacat - Hockey
Re: RIT to go D-I - 19 years ago
Can't argue with that, though Rochester's a pretty good hockey town. The Amerks have a great history and the teams have drawn pretty well even during softer years. Though one also has to worry about how many fans can one market support.by ithacat - Hockey
Re: RIT to go D-I - 19 years ago
Good for the Tigers & Rochester (which doesn't have any D1 sports programs). I'd much rather have RIT than Quinny in the ECAC -- oh well. A couple of other notes: David Wrisley is a backup goalie at RIT (he was the goalie on Ithaca High's last State Championship team, which featured Dustin Brown). Last year RIT outdrew Quinny, and that was with a D3 team.by ithacat - Hockey
Re: Phil Kessel - 19 years ago
Why not? Do you think it's the conference? The fact they play fewer games? They're only going to spend a couple of years, so the education doesn't really have an appeal?by ithacat - Hockey
Re: BC Will Be Without Schneider - 19 years ago
That's right. I'd forgotten that. Marr still played very well.by ithacat - Hockey
Phil Kessel - 19 years ago
Anyone know if Cornell is involved with him? He's from Madison so the chances of him not going to a CCHA or WCHA school are probably slim.by ithacat - Hockey
Re: BC Will Be Without Schneider - 19 years ago
I think we did ok without Lenny a couple of years ago.by ithacat - Hockey
Re: FIND SOME OFFENSE - 19 years ago
I believe most would think anything less than three wins in this next home sequence would be a big disappointment. I'm not sure what this will tell us about the team -- we'll see. I'm hoping a hyped-up Lynah crowd gives the team an opportunity to rebuild their confidence and work on some things offensively. I agree it's early, but they've got to play better on the road. TBR are a fairly youngby ithacat - Hockey
Re: FIND SOME OFFENSE - 19 years ago
It's difficult to know what to make of this team right now. I continue to think that the Ivy schools are at a huge disadvantage early in the season (though 3 of their games have been against Ivies) and until January rolls around it can be tough to get a read. What is known is that this team hasn't won a road game this year and hasn't won in its last 4 games. Good teams win on the road and goodby ithacat - Hockey

Re: Questions for the Coach on ECACHL website - 19 years ago
Training rooms, study rooms, film room, better concessions, store front (mini fish market would be nice), trophies displayed, history & photos wherever one walks, hall of fame, better sound system, upgraded scoreboard...a school now must be the Jones family. Let everyone else try to keep up.by ithacat - Hockey
Re: Quiet crowd - 19 years ago
I think the student section is amazing to watch from the other side (I sit in N). My main wish is that people would show up earlier and start singing and chanting, knock the dust off the rafters, and make the visitors shake in their skates before the game even begins. Is there a student hockey association that has a fan primer or organizes a meeting before the season begins where they talk abby ithacat - Hockey
Re: Cornell 1, Harvard 0 - 19 years ago
You guys should start a Cornell Hockey Association of California. Not sure what you'd do but the shirts might look cool.by ithacat - Hockey

Re: Cornell Hockey Hats - 19 years ago
Zephyr is on Cornell's list of approved vendors. The Store is aware of the interest and looking at the vendor. Cornell does limit the range of graphics and text available for the Store to use, so if you're looking for something truly extraordinary you'll probably need to go solo. For instance, I doubt the University would ever approve a H****** Sucks hat...actually, H****** would probably haveby ithacat - Hockey
Re: Need to change the RPI - 19 years ago
Thanks for the correction. I imagine they have bars, movies, and music like Ithaca. I love it here but it's not as if we have MOMA, the Met, and Madison Square Garden. It's got to be more than that.by ithacat - Hockey
Need to change the RPI - 19 years ago
so that it rewards OOC road wins in a way that encourages teams to play tougher OOC games away from home. I know SOS factors into this but they need to figure something out for the good of the sport. I hate what's happening in college football where the BCS has given virtually no incentive for a Michigan to go to a place like Syracuse and instead stay in Ann Arbor collecting their Big House dollaby ithacat - Hockey
Re: Hockey tonight - 19 years ago
The key terms were "imagine" and "sophmore." If Dustin had wanted to go to Cornell, I imagine he would have made the effort and, I also imagine, the coaching staff would have found a spot for him. Also, if he was beginning his sophmore year, it would have been fair to assume that he made it through his freshman year. It's all moot; he seems to be doing exactly what he wants toby ithacat - Hockey
Re: SLU beats Michigan State - 19 years ago
Hopefully, it's 2 steps forward & 1 step back -- though I could care less as long as Cornell is stepping forward.by ithacat - Hockey
