I've also attached the ECAC schedule.

Mr. Hagwell sent an updated ECAC schedule. So I changed the attachment. The only change is flipping P & Q at Hvd, Dart in Feb. Nothing involving us.

The 2010 Florida College Hockey Classic teams have been set: Cornell, Maine, St. Cloud State, and Miami.  No date has been announced yet though.

So, what interconference opponents do we know about?  I can come up with only four:  two of Maine, St. Cloud State, & Miami of Ohio; BU; and UNH.

I didn't see the dates in that press announcement? Have the dates been set or is that TBD?

Quote from: Kevin Reiter, info@floridaeverblades.comBill - At this time the dates have not been set, but typically it falls in the final week of December if that helps.  

My guess, Monday 12/27 and Tuesday 12/28, or Tuesday and Wednesday. 12/28-29. Christmas and New Year fall on Saturday this year.

The field looks great. The only thing better if both non-hosts were big schools with lots of alumni in Florida. Notre Dame and Ohio State were the best examples. It would be advantageous to play St. Cloud State not Miami in the first round, unless everybody turns pro at Miami and they have to start over.

Wow, Miami is a great pickup for a tournament that seems to pull together a strong field almost every year.  As solid as their team is, they've only got four seniors this season, and only two who are regulars in the lineup.

Has there been any rumor about RPI playing in the Florida CHC in 2001? In this USCHO interview http://www.uscho.com/blogs/the-breakaway/bsullivan82/20100204/ezac-past-present-or-future.html, Seth Appert states

QuoteYou might not accept an invitation if they have the opponents up front. We're going to a tournament – and I'd rather not speak in specifics – in the future, because we know that in the first round of the tournament we're going to get to play a top-half Hockey East team, a team that consistently finishes in the top half of that league. So we know that the first day of the tournament will draw a real strong non-conference opponent, so those things factor into the decision.

I can't think of another tourney besides for this one, where we would meet Maine, that fits the criteria. (I suppose that another possibilty is that they decided to kick Harvard out of the Beanpot for non-performance. :-D )

I've been told by the ticket office that there will be no MSG BU event next year.

I'm sure there are non-conference teams like US under 18 or Niagra coming around somewhere early or mid season next year as well.

The BU game will happen again at Thanksgiving 2011.  It's an every other year thing according to Schafer, although MSG wants Cornell to come every year alternating BU with other big name teams.

Under the original three-games-in-four-years agreement, BU is scheduled to play at Lynah in 2010-11.  Although the game this season was moved from Agannis to MSG, I was told that the 2010-11 is still supposed to be played at Lynah.

That said, the BU-Cornell agreement may have been extended and modified.

I really like the idea of trying to draw big western teams to MSG at Thanksgiving in the even years.  Unfortunately Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan State are tied up with their annual College Hockey Showcase (http://icehockey.wikia.com/wiki/College_Hockey_Showcase).

Urg. We couldn't find a non-conference opponent for this? Maybe we'll draw more than the couple dozen that showed up for the Cornell-Colgate game at Nassau Coliseum about 10 years ago.

The Prudential Center is a nicer facility than Madison Square Garden. It's convenient ... if you live in New Jersey. Just like MSG, there's a post office nearby. Lots of parking. The area immediately around the center is swarming with police so you have a positive experience. I recall seeing a couple restaurants nearby, some of them that actually stay open at night. (The Ironbound section has nice Portuguese restaurants but that's a 15-minute walk and a couple of the blocks won't feel safe.) Between the location and the opponent, it sounds as if something better fell through and Colgate got swapped in. Assuming this is a RS game, is it our home game we lose, or Colgate's home game? Or do we play three?

Between the Prudential Center ... the NJ Performing Arts Center ... and the medical / academic sector (NJIT, Rutgers-Newark, UMDNJ) ... the Newark Bears baseball field ... the Penn Station area and surrounding businesses ... a decent mayor (Cory Booker) ... Newark has a fighting chance to be a decent city in 10-plus years. It's just that each of these centers of urban near-excellence is a couple blocks from each other and it's going to take time for the rough spots between them to be pushed out.

Ya, Colgate is a lackluster opponent for the Thanksgiving game..... What about BU? Aren't we suppose to play them next season?

The only way I can see this benefitting Cornell from a hockey standpoint is if we count this as a Cornell home game, push the @Colgate game to a Tuesday, and schedule a quality NC opponent on the free weekend.

That, or if Colgate ends up as a TUC...

Maybe they had no choice?

Newark's come a long way since Cory Booker became mayor.  And the Rock has provided a ton of jobs both directly and by bringing people to local businesses.  As someone who attends around 15 Devils games per year, I never feel unsafe when I'm there for a game.  There's so many cops around outside the rink.  I always go to the bar at the Hilton (attached to the train station), so I don't really know any of the other places around, but there's a bunch of sports bars in the area too.

And unlike the Garden where there's not a good seat in the house, the sight lines are amazing there.

People from other schools are even talking about this over on USCHO.  I'll probably go since it's easily Amtrakable/Bolt Busable, but I'd still prefer to be at MSG every year alternating BU with another school, which is what Schafer wants as I overheard him figuring out with the NoDak coach when they'd next be able to come east since they're already committed through 2013.

When you reach for your wallet at the concession stands, you'll also feel as if you're in New York. Nothing is cheap. There is a Taste of Newark area that brings in some of the local foods e.g. Portuguese.

I'll probably go....But, only if there is a booster bus leaving from Ithaca.

QuoteOn October 30, RIT makes the short drive to historic Lynah Rink and will face 2010 ECAC Champion Cornell for a 7:05 p.m. game. RIT defeated Cornell, 4-1 in the last meeting between the two schools before 5,142 fans at Blue Cross Arena on October 27, 2007. Cornell has defeated RIT twice at Lynah Rink, in 2005-06 and 2006-07.

Thanks. It should be a tough game; they'll have played 8 games.

Just checked UNH, as they were due to visit Lynah after we played there last year.
It's UNH @ Cornell, Friday Oct. 29.
http://www.unhwildcats.com/sports/mice/2010-11/schedule

Pretty tough opening schedule, against teams who will have played for at least a few weeks more than us.  Even our first three ECAC games are against non-Ivy opponents who will have had several more games.

Really like opening against a pair of strong NC teams.  It will get them ready for the ECAC and with all the departures it's probably not going to affect "NCAA chances" this year. :-}

Any word on exhibitions games before UNH? U18? Any Canadian teams?

Does anyone know when they finalize schedules for the upcoming season? Now is usually about when I start planning my Thanksgiving travel, especially if I fly, or not if I have to stop in the NY/NJ area.

Colgate's schedule (http://www.gocolgateraiders.com/schedule.aspx?path=mhock&schedule=140&) is up.  Here are the dates for the games with Cornell.

I should mention that my most politically conservative friend has moved San Francisco ---> New York ---> Portland ---> Minneapolis and has always found plenty of like-minded people when she was inclined to do so (though she mostly made do with godless liberals like me). In your case I'd say go to wherever the local Westboro is protesting, walk past the placard-waving idiots and introduce yourself to whoever is on the other side.

You're not going to get that mountain view in Pueblo.  The mountains are a good 50 miles or more away.  And it's just as conservative as the Springs.

Given the industry I work in, I'm used to 90% of my co-workers swallowing talking points whole from Rush; that's fine, I have friends who believe all sorts of stupid things (have you met Kyle?), they think the same about me, and we tease / amuse one another.  The questions about Colorado Springs come from (1) it's a lot smaller than the places, and (2) it's religiously rather than just politically cringe-worthy.  That's a whole other ball game.

NAU played in the Great West Hockey Conference for one year http://www.augenblick.org/chha/gwc_his.html.

NAU still has hockey at the club level and it has a cult following.  It's similar to MIT football in the years before they reinstated the program.

There's an eLF poster who knows a lot about this, and that poster is not me, but isn't our Ultimate team generally one of the better ones in the country?  (For whatever that's worth in a non-NCAA sport.)  Looks like they finished third at nationals this year.

I believe there are several such posters on this board, and yes, Cornell is usually very good and often in the hunt for a top-10 finish. Given that there are over 200 college teams these days I don't think the lack of NCAA backing diminishes the accomplishment.

Ultimate is definitely nerdy. I think the "not good at" and "for the sake of irony" bits fell by the wayside back in the 80s, but the nerdiness persists. :-p

I'm a nerd, and when I think of a sport I play but I'm not good at I think of ice hockey. I'm terrible, and I'll always be terrible. I'm not sure about the irony but damn it's fun. See, obligatory hockey content. ;-)

Quote from: TShenColgate's schedule (http://www.gocolgateraiders.com/schedule.aspx?path=mhock&schedule=140&) is up.  Here are the dates for the games with Cornell.



11/27 vs. Cornell at Prudential Center
1/21 @ Colgate
1/22 @ Cornell

Thanks, added.

This evening the Colgate schedule shows only two Cornell games, just standard home and home on 1/21 and 1/22.  The Prudential Center web site shows a Devils - Flyers game at 1:00 on Saturday and nothing else that weekend.  Cornell still hasn't posted a schedule.  Maybe it's real and Colgate jumped the gun in posting it.

10/16 Red-White

10/22 US U18

No game at Thanksgiving.

Université du Québec à Trois-Ri..... ::demented:: ya... Sucks!

UQTR is a damn good program at the CIS level. They have been dominant in the OUA and were ranked 3rd in the CIS Top 10 at the end of last season. A 66-12-4-2 regular season record over the last three years is nothing to sneeze at, even if the CIS isn't on par with NCAA Division I hockey. While Les Patriotes probably won't beat Cornell in October, they aren't a team to take lightly. Sure, a lot of you may not find a Cornell-UQTR matchup to be all that intriguing, and understandably so. But I'll be interested in seeing how one of Canadian college hockey's premier programs fares down in Ithaca.

It's an exhibition game. If we beat the snot out of them then it's a feel good game and a chance to have fun with the chants and taunts. If they play us tough or even win then it's a good tune up for the games that count.

For UQTR (https://oraprdnt.uqtr.uquebec.ca/pls/public/gasw002.afficher_calendrier_sport_web?owa_annee_scol=20102011&owa_cd_sport=HM) it's the first of three games in three days.  They play at Lynah Thursday night, then return home for a game Friday night against Toronto and another Saturday afternoon against the Royal Military College.  They will have four regular season games under their belts by they time they come to Ithaca.

That's about par with Canadian teams that have come in the past.

I have pointed out to Jeremy that the CU site lists the Florida College Classic on Dec 28-29, while the Everblades site and the other three schools all list it as Dec 29-30.  This makes a slight difference as we lay our holiday travel plans.

For the sake of comparison, last year Windsor lost a three game series in the second round of their tournament on February 26.  UQTR played their last game March 26 in the CIS tournament (http://english.cis-sic.ca/championships/mice/2009-10/schedule).  It's a six-team tournament that starts with two groups of three playing round robin, then the top team from each of the two groups playing for the championship.

Perhaps this is the more relevant game to remember.... (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2007/10/19/mih_071019x.aspx?path=mhockey)

Yeah, there appears to be a significant disparity between the top CIS/OUA teams and the rest of the pack. Cornell slaughtered Ottawa 8-0 two days after their 0-0 draw with UQTR. Western Ontario is another OUA program that has fared better than most of their peers. They lost 4-3 to Cornell the other year and also beat Ohio State last year. Not too shabby. While some people will say that the Canadian teams are at an advantage due to being less rusty, I say that advantage is negated by the Canadian teams invariably having to play on the road. In any case, it should be a good exhibition game in October.

I just received my season hockey ticket renewal information, and the accompanying letter from Gene Nighman claims there are "20 home games."  Both this schedule and the one on CornellBigRed.com show 17, and that's including the two exhibition games.  Do you think he's actually including some not-at-all-guaranteed home playoffs in his figure?  I think that's kind of ballsy and woof-like.

I've e-mailed him to ask, though I'm pretty sure the answer's yes.

Anyway, if you buy the three playoff tickets that actually would make it twenty games, season tickets work out to $21/game in Section C, $18/game outside of C, and $27/game on the balcony.

Woof-like yes, but it doesn't take much to think we won't finish in the bottom 4.

The 20th game could be the Red-White Scrimmage.

Quote from: KenPThe 20th game could be the Red-White Scrimmage.

Apart from the fact that this would leave only two other games, and the playoffs might be three, so the math doesn't work... the Red/White scrimmage is never included with season tickets, it's always been separate admission.

I just got mine as well, and was surprised not to see a schedule included.  Haven't past season ticket renewal letters contained a schedule?

That is one of the few things I miss about Indiana; getting mail from the NC$$ very quickly. My fingers are crossed that I too get a letter saying I have tickets.

Is it time for Age to put up the countdown ticker to the Red-White game yet?

Ticker goes by the ELynah Database schedule, which will be entered when it's finalized ;)

So what's the deal with the Thanksgiving Newark game? Neither Cornell nor Colgate lists it.  I spoke to the ticket office on the phone a week before the schedule came out and was told that Schafer was about to return from vacation and it wouldn't be long until they finalized the paperwork.  Guess they were wrong?

Hasn't it been that way recently? I thought that guaranteed one's seats should Cornell host playoff games. If the team doesn't host, one can receive a refund or donate the money to the hockey program -- at least I thought that's the way it works.

No one's heard anything about tickets yet right?  I need to talk to my ticket rep from the Devils about my partial plan anyway, so I will ask him if he knows anything about it.  Don't know whether the ticket reps deal with only Devils tickets or all rink events.

Quote from: Devils' Ticket RepIn regards to the Cornell game, I looked into details for you but don't have any yet. Please reach out to me again in a few weeks, as I should know more by then.

Now that the Newark game is more or less confirmed, will someone be doing a Google Calendar for this season?

I'm thinking of buying season tix from another ticket holder. How much do season tickets usually cost?

I'll put the schedule up and send a link to it when I have some time, probably next week or so

Quote from: sjactI'm thinking of buying season tix from another ticket holder. How much do season tickets usually cost?

Depends on the section of the rink.  Students pay less than CHA members, who pay less than "box" seat holders/scoreboard railing leaners.  I can only speak for the CHA group - we pay $420, or what should work out to $21/game, for Section C or N.

Quote from: nr53I'll put the schedule up and send a link to it when I have some time, probably next week or so

Alternatively, you can download the calendar from collegehockeynews.com. Check out the link on the schedule page:

Time zones seem a bit messed up however, games show up at 3pm pacific for me but it's at least easier to drag pre-made events than create brand new ones.

That's especially true when it's in Newark instead of NYC, Colgate isn't as big a rival as BU (to this day), we're already playing Colgate two other times this season, and this one's non-conference.  They have absolutely no hope of selling out at these prices.

With prices like those, I would hate to be an enemy of Cornell. Yikes! That is steep for a single college hockey game ::bugeye::.

I have a feeling the ticket prices are dictated by the venue, and the Newark people have no understanding of a college hockey game.  They see "hockey" and think "Devils crowd... brokers and neurosurgeons."

I wish they'd finalized this earlier... I'm not going pay to change my train ticket back to NYC after the holiday for Colgate. Especially after I moved it when they started talking about it and changed it back when it looked like it wasn't happening.  This time, the price jump just isn't worth it.

Your response is exactly what I expect many to have. Whoever planned this probably saw the numbers the MSG game and thought this would be comparable.  It's not for many reasons.  Going to the well too much and expecting the non-rabid Cornellian crowd to follow every year is pushing it.

Well I bought a bunch from Cornell this morning.  Out of curiosity, I noticed you can't by upper level seats on ticketmaster.  Are they waiting to release them until lowers are sold?  For those of you not familiar with the rink, unlike the Garden where there are no good seats, every seat is a good one.  I got lowers for the Cornell-Colgate game, but will also be happy sitting in 227 for the Devils games this season.

I'm in the same boat as Hockeychick470.  I booked my flights the day before they announced that it really was happening.  Only giving 7 weeks notice doesn't really help travel plans when it's over Thanksgiving weekend.  As it is I have to fly back to Manchester, NH instead of Logan due to crowded flights.  A pit stop is Newark is definitely not worth changing flights.

It's canceled out by the fact that you have to watch the Devils, though.

Will the "countdown to... " clock be revived? (thank you eLynah organizers)

Sorry it took so long, but I finally got the ELynah calendar populated. If you're already subscribed, no need to do anything. Otherwise,

Thank you Age. I'm glad to see the countdown ticker back!::cheer::

the iCal is great- thanks!

Does anyone have clear information regarding which exact sections are "Cornell" sections?

Also, I cannot recommend enough the Prudential Center as a venue. Despite many well-founded preconceptions of Newark, the area around the arena is a huge exception, and there are many good bars and restaurants within walking distance. Of course, the inside of the arena is spectacular too, and you may not feel the need to explore the neighborhood if management has open the full assortment of concession offerings.

Lastly, I have to say, as an alum, I am disheartened by the lack of die hard spirit I see in this thread, with the complaints about the opponent and the ticket prices. Events like this, regardless of opponent or ticket price, represent a terrific opportunity for us to show our support for the university, the athletic program, and the hockey team. They provide great PR opportunities to sell Cornell not only to hockey recruits, but to "regular" students as well. If Cornell hockey is making news in NY/NJ area media outlets for the widespread and rabid support of its hockey team at a major venue like the Prudential Center, it can only help Coach Schafer in his recruiting efforts, and can only draw attention from potential college applicants. Kill, Schafer, kill!

There ARE alumni fan bases for universities in this country who would jump at the chance to watch their school's marquee sport play in a major venue against ANY opponent. You don't need to look much further than the ability of a lot of Southern and Midwestern schools to "travel" (i.e. draw large contingents of supporters) to usually-meaningless football bowl games in random locations, for said evidence.

Come on guys! Let's Go Red!

Personally, I'm just going to wait until the day of the game, and walk up to buy tickets.  This game is not going to sell out, and the box office at the Rock won't be charging the absurd fees on top of the relatively absurd ticket price.  But I'll be there.

I remain unconcerned that you are disheartened that I don't want to spend $60 a ticket to a game which requires over an hour of travel in each direction plus either babysitting costs or the relationship costs that attend to dumping parental responsibility on one's wife in exchange for something frivolous.

The University announced it WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY too late.  Less than 2 months before Thanksgiving I already had my travel plans locked in.  On top of that, seeing them play Colgate in a more empty than full arena holds little appeal.  There won't be the class-sponsored open bars as there were for MSG.  I'll be going back to Ithaca during the season, and I think that shows my die hard fandom more so that going to Newark.  The cost does outweigh my love of hockey in this instance, and after last season's Dream Crushing, Soul Devouring Juggernaut shirt designing, I don't think my love can be called into question.

Quote from: munchkinOn top of that, seeing them play Colgate in a more empty than full arena holds little appeal.

I'm with you on the travel planning issue, but this is sort of self-fulfilling, isn't it?  The more people who say "I don't want to go to a game in a half-empty arena", the more likely it is that the arena is going to be half-empty.  We're the ones who make the atmosphere be awesome, and the atmosphere is only going to suck if we let it.

cornell vs. colgate all the way in new jersey? for what? booooooooring. boooooooooooring... can't we find a real ooc team to play?

geez, all you guys do is bitch.  If you don't want to go to the game, don't, but its a game in a great arena, 20 minute train ride from NY, which is a lot more accessible than Lynah for most people, meaning its the one time most alumni can see them in person this year--who cares if its just Colgate?

So, you're allowed to talk about why you're going to the game, but others aren't allowed to talk about why they aren't going?

Frivolous?  It's not frivolous!  It's Cornell hockey!

Im in +7.

Quote from: munchkinThe University announced it WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY too late.

That's for sure.  It had been rumored for months and even on Colgate's website several weeks earlier.  Cornell didn't have it on their schedule and then announces the game the day before tickets go on sale.  For the two MSG games, I organized groups of 23 and 19, with people coming in from Calfornia and London (UK, not CAN) and DC.  There's a good chance I'll be there, but organizing a contingent like that at this late date can't be done.

Quote from: ugarte...something frivolous.

if Cornell hockey is something frivolous, you've spent a whole lot of time following frivilous stuff - which, of course, we all still think is time well spent.

Quote from: jkahnif Cornell hockey is something frivolous, you've spent a whole lot of time following frivilous stuff - which, of course, we all still think is time well spent.

Well, duh. Cornell hockey isn't close to the most frivolous thing I spend a lot of time on.

I'm [+3] very excited about rooting for the Red at the Pru Center, which is a terrific venue for hockey. Looking forward to making the Pru Center Lynah Newark! The venue is only a short train ride from NYC.

I'm in [+8]. It isn't BU, and it isn't MSG, but hey, why the hell not (otherwise known as my family strong armed me).

Despite how dismayed I am by this thread, I actually decided to use it as motivation and showed it to a handful of alums who were on the fence. The general response was "Wow, those guys are WEEEEEEEEEEAK! I'm in!", and I was able to bump my group up a few.

So I am in, +12.

I had always put Cornell's hockey fandom on par with the most rabid supporters in this country...Ohio State football could play the University of Southeastern Missouri in the "Anchorage Bowl" in the middle of January, and their fans would fill the stadium; Duke basketball could play TC3 in a random HS gym in Montana and sell it out; yet we play a legit. college hockey program w some history and tradition in what is probably the nicest building in the NHL, 7 miles (and a 20 minute train ride) from downtown Manhattan, and we can't provide a good showing? Sad.

Late scheduling, a perceived price increase in the ~$20 range (you get what you pay for!!), and dissatisfaction with what is certainly a legitimate opponent for this (rebuilding) team are poor excuses. Hopefully, a late surge of interest will put some butts in the seats.

Quote from: jaywbigredLate scheduling [etc.] are poor excuses.

So you're offering to cover the change fees for those who would have to alter their airline itineraries to stay in town for the game?  I think that's wonderful.

They should get a ton of alums from the NYC area -- maybe not many from L.I., but there's a large Jersey contingent.  Hopefully, this will also be Kaylea's first Cornell hockey game (apparently she is betrothed to Brisson but he doesn't know it yet).

Being a rabid sports fan doesn't mean you have no reaction to prices. Otherwise you simply become a wallet for the team/program. If ticket prices are unaffordable you watch or listen from home.
