Let's start this off with some good news. Maybe this is one reason we like being in the ECAC. Half of the national men's and women's teams that scored over 990 on the NCAA APR rankings were from the ECAC. (http://www.ecachockey.com/women/2012-13/News/20131306_NCAAAPRRankings)
I might as well put up CU's post on this (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2013/6/6/BB_0606130808.aspx) and the NCAA press release. (http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/ncaa/resources/latest+news/2013/june/student-athletes+continue+classroom+success)

Good to see that so many of the teams scoring above 990 were from the ECAC; less good to see that the Cornell men's team is not among them.
QuoteIt's the fifth straight 1,000 for the Brown men's team; the women's team has been there three years in a row.
Brown will always get a "perfect score" when all the courses are pass/fail, right?
Rich, adding kids like: Ryan Coon — Taft School; goalie, I see as 3rd on depth chart - but brings good academics might also help our score in the future, He won math prize at graduation at Taft. I think folks leaving early hits the score some also, no?
We finished behind North Dakota???::wow::::wtf::

I'm so disappointed! Our men's team didn't reach an arbitrary level on a metric that isn't described in any detail at all!
So what does a score of 988 out of 1000 on the innovative APR mean anyway?

I'm not sure how you calculate the APR for an Ivy school, because the APR is supposed to be a measure of how scholarship athletes are doing. From the NCAA's site (http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/NCAA/Academics/Division+I/Academic+Progress+Rate):
Quote from: NCAA.orgHow is the APR calculated?
While eligibility requirements make the individual student-athlete accountable, the Academic Progress Rate creates a level of institutional responsibility. The Academic Progress Rate is a Division I metric developed to track the academic achievement of teams each academic term.
Each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one retention point for staying in school and one eligibility point for being academically eligible. A team's total points are divided by points possible and then multiplied by one thousand to equal the team's Academic Progress Rate score.
So I guess every athlete counts toward an Ivy team's APR? The APR is a four-year rolling average, so if anyone remembers how many early departures the team had in that time frame you could try to see how accurate the APR is.
I've been reorganizing my attic and came across this article from the IJ, October 25, 1969. How prescient of Ned!

That's great. For those looking for some sort of connection and/or timeframe, Gary Trudeau is a Yalie through-and-through, enrolling as a freshman in 1966 and even earned his MFA at Yale in 1973. He also was raised in Saranac Lake, NY, which is only a few miles away from Lake Placid. According to Wikipedia, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doonesbury) Doonesbury debuted in the Yale Daily News in September, 1968, and was first syndicated daily in October 1970.
Makes sense, that he would reference the Big Red in a hockey-themed strip.

What's the story on the 2013 hockey alumni game (when/where).
Tnx.
There isn't one this year according to the hockey association site. Don't know why.
An email from Schafer said the alumni golf tournament was cancelled because of lack of registrants. That gave me a shiver. Hope there's not a problem brewing.

You have a while to wait until Clarkson. After he finished the OOC teams, he has been posting one per week on Wednesday in the order that RPI faces them for the first time. So far, Harvard, Dartmouth, and Cornell. Next week is Colgate.

The 33-year-old blueliner is coming off a four-year, $10 million contract but won't get anything close to that this summer. If Murray wants a multi-year deal from the Canucks (or anyone else), he'll have to accept a pay cut."

I hope he's right.
Me too. It's actually a fairly well-researched and well-thought-out opponent review; not the boiler plate one usually sees. I'm looking forward to reading the other KYEs as a guide to our common opponents. I have for example absolutely no idea what to expect from Clarkson this year.

"During the national anthem, fans bust out with a unison cheer of "U!""
During every cheer, the fans bust out with "U!" and only with "U!". It's literally the only cheer syllable they are aware of.

Their fanbase is 70% little kids who get in free and tear around the arena oblivious to the game. Be glad they manage to be engaged for one syllable.

No, there's also those three old people from Schenectady, who think being a good fan is bringing a gallon milk jug full of pennies and shaking them in people's faces.

I think you might mean one letter - their signature cheer.
U

I never understood how a school called "UC" who has the wit (sic) to scream "You!" during the anthem isn't smart enough to make the big leap to yell "You See!"

They did at least one game I attended there, but that was probably 10 years ago. The non-clever always seems to rise to the top.
I keep thinking of getting an organized effort to shout "CAN" to neuter that more. I doubt they'd be swift enough to do the "ROCKETS" "GLARE" thing.

Oh man, I forgot about those people. That's nearly as bad as Thunderstix.

Lack of originality and skill is common among UC schools.
Looking at Big Red Puckhead's recruit list I noticed that Gavin Stoick was listed as a member of Green Bay in the USHL, and sure enough he's no longer on the Cornell roster but is indeed listed on the Green Bay roster (http://www.gamblershockey.com/archives/player/gavin-stoick) as a forward rather than a defenseman. He's still shown as a Cornell recruit. Pure speculation on my part, but perhaps the coaches suggested that he spend a year in the USHL and then plan to return next season having a year playing forward under his belt?
