That's what happens when you win national championships.

When it happens to us after we do well for a year or two, we call it "success breeding success." When it happens to someone else, it's "the rich getting richer."

Some notes (http://www.inlouwetrust.com/2012/6/23/3112866/alexander-kerfoot-2nd-fifth-round-pick-new-jersey-devils-2012-nhl-draft) on Kerfoot who seems intent on earning a degree from a university and playing college hockey.
Quote from: Alex KerfootAt this point I am pretty focused on going the NCAA route. I feel it gives me a little more time to develop as a player, and academics have always been pretty important to me. The three schools that I have visited are Boston College, Yale and Harvard, and they are all great schools, with great hockey programs that I am really interested in.
Kerfoot at 150th overall and Benning at 175th overall are listed as undecided as to which university they will be attending on the 2012 NHL Entry Draft information.

Since when does Harvard (or Yale for that matter) have a "great hockey program."?
Quote from: jtn27Since when does Harvard (or Yale for that matter) have a "great hockey program."?
Does Cornell have a great hockey program? If so, what sets us apart from them? Our resume is not all that different than Harvard's when it comes right down to it. 12-8 in tournament titles, 8-8 in season titles, 8-12 in Frozen Four appearances, 2-1 in NCAA championships (and ours are pretty stale), etc. You'd have to draw a pretty fine line to get one of us above and the other below.

Yes.
Next?

Besides the fact that "yes" is the absolutely correct answer to your inquiry, I feel the need to mention two other statistics. Firstly, I think that anyone being reasonable would conclude that Cornell and Harvard are nearly equally storied in intraconference play. You left out the fact that Cornell has 20 and Harvard has 23 Ivy-League Championships. That supports the conclusion that the programs are of equal prestige or that Harvard is slightly better in one area.
However, to be a great program, a program needs to have success not only on an intraconference level but on the national level. Harvard has not returned to the NCAA Tournament in six years. Cornell has competed in the tournament three times over that period. Harvard's all-time in the NCAA Tournament is 12-22-1. Cornell's record is 17-19-0. I think that difference is sufficient to indicate that Cornell is a great program, especially in comparison to Harvard's success at the same level. Also, Cornell has a record of 205-164-26 against programs with NCAA National Championships. I do not feel like investing the time to calculate Harvard's similar record, but I feel secure in assuming that it pales in comparison to Cornell's similar record.
The inclusion of Yale as a "great program" in the original quote is what made me laugh most. Sure, Harvard is a great program, I will admit that, but Cornell is far superior to both. Yale has no national championships, one Frozen Four appearance, five NCAA appearances, and two ECAC Championships. Cornell and Harvard are great programs, Yale is not even close.

This, I completely agree with.

There was also 50 years of college hockey before the NCAA tournament, but IINM Yale was not a hockey power during that time either. Harvard and Dartmouth were, with Princeton at times.

The Yale Bulldogs men's ice hockey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_Bulldogs_men%27s_ice_hockey) wiki claims that Yale won national championships in 1899, 1900, 1901, and 1902. I do not give much weight to them personally, but I read a Yale article once in which they referenced their "national championships in men's hockey."

From 1899 to 1902, winning a "national championship" in men's hockey basically meant winning more games than the other seven or eight schools sponsoring teams in any given year, even if the season was only six games long. Nobody but Yale gives any weight to those achievements, and they certainly don't make Yale "a great hockey program."

The fact that we don't suck?

Well, we won it in 1911 (http://www.tbrw.info/reports/rptCornell_Games_by_Year/rptCornell_Games_1911.html), and that's good enough for me.

As much as I'd like to agree, a losing record -- even if it's in the national championship -- doesn't constitute a great program. The fact that we get there so often means we're a very good team nationally; but the fact we lose more than we win, once we're there, means we don't go past being very good.
Going by this (http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_ice_hockey_champs_records/2008/d1/D1champs.pdf), some other schools' win-loss records:
- BU: 34-30-0
- Michigan: 46-24-0
- Minnesota: 50-35-0
- NoDak: 40-18-0
- Wisconsin: 34-19-2
I would say these schools have great programs. We're very good.
Boy this is a lot of discussion on the heels of a "Harvard Sucks" joke.
