As with "Where are our Alums", I'll try and keep a running list of awards. If you see one, post it and I'll add it.

From that ECAC link, I didn't know about this.  Could be interesting (and nicely indexed):  http://www.ecachockey.com/men/Radio_Show/index

Okay place for this, I guess.

Boissonnault, Bourbonnais and O'Neill to Represent Canada in 2018 Nations Cup (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2017/12/13/womens-ice-hockey-boissonnault-bourbonnais-and-o-neill-to-represent-canada-in-2018-nations-cup.aspx) at BLZ Arena Füssen, GER

They'll miss the P & Q away games.

12/30 Canada vs Austria Pre-tourney game

1/3 Canada vs. Finland 9 AM EST
1/4 Canada vs. Russia  9 AM EST

1/6 Medal Games

Here's the Team Canada site. (https://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/news/2017-18-nwdt-roster-named-for-nations-cup)

It looks like they built a new arena in Füssen since I watched a game there in 1977. I guess that I should not be surprised since that rink was open on one end.

Is Füssen the town near Neuschwanstein?  I have vague memories of driving an insane mountain road to get there but it was almost 20 years ago.

Yes. That is why I was staying there. There were signs up that there was hockey game being played in the evening, so I decided to go. The local team was playing a team from Italy. I was shocked to find out that recent RPI grad Dino Serra was on the Italian team. News of former players didn't get around in 1977 as it does now. :-)

I don't recall roads around Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau, but you must be right. I do remember a few days earlier visiting a schoolmate of my mother who was living in the vicinity of Bad Tölz and he drove me up a winding alpine road at some ridiculous speed. I didn't think that I would survive that trip.

I think that this is getting a bit off topic.:-D

Good job. I couldn't figure out what happened when I first looked at the post. Finally I realized I didn't do it and looked at the author.**]

It's also interesting that there was only 1 other goalie mentioned for GOTW.

Can anybody explain to me the rationale for giving Matt ROTW instead of GOTW, which they gave to Brey, who had a less impressive performance than Matt against weaker competition? Were there really no other rookies among the twelve teams who had a weekend of notable achievement?

It's the spread the wealth thing they do.  Like when a goalie wins POTW... and doesn't win GOTW.

I dunno, but here's my guess. Matt got GOTW the previous week, when he gave up 0 goals. This past weekend he gave up 1. So he set the bar too high for himself.

OTOH, Brey made 90 saves over the weekend and SLU won both games (Galajda made 62 saves), including a shutout against Yale (something we haven't done this season -- yet!). In a world where every kid gets a trophy, the ECAC realized that this may be the only chance to give SLU's goalie an award. These were the only two league games SLU has won so far this season. And it wouldn't matter if he made 200 saves in an upcoming weekend if the team lost, because it's even harder to justify giving the award to a losing goalie.

That latter argument makes a lot more sense to me. I didn't realize those numbers came from a 90-save weekend.

So for all of you who were concerned that we didn't have good enough press and why didn't Ga get GOTW.......

Galajda named both Ivy Player of the Year and Ivy Rookie of the Year, and Schafer named Coach of the Year (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2018/3/1/mens-ice-hockey-mens-hockey-sweeps-major-ivy-league-awards.aspx). Kaldis first-team All-Ivy, with Angelo and McRae on second team. Quite a day for the Big Red!

That is great.  But at least Donato has that Olympic medal for consolation.

Quote from: TrotskyThat is great.  But at least Donato has that Olympic medal for consolation.

But it's pretty amazing he's not a unanimous selection for All Ivy 1st team. I haven't found Ivy-only statistics, and I'm too lazy to break them out for myself. But USCHO reports Harvard has scored 88 goals this season, and Donato has scored 22 goals. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's 25%, isn't it?

Donato is 2nd in the ECAC in goals and 8th in total points. In contrast, Anthony Angelo is 8th and tied for 12th respectively.

Maybe he missed a bunch of Ivy hockey for the Olympics. If he missed four games and wasn't THAT amazing in the other six, maybe?

Of Harvard's 29 goals scored against Ivy opponents I counted 6 goals and 5 assists for Donato. Impressive but not quite as impressive as his overall scoring dominance.

The forboding part is at the bottom of the awards list.

The Clarkson rink is fabulous for women's hockey: Well lit, attached to the student union, you can just drift in and catch a game.

Alec McCrea Named a Finalists  for League's Best Defensive Defenseman Award (http://www.ecachockey.com/men/2017-18/News/20180603_BDD_Finalists)

Cornell Big Red's take on it. (http://cornellbigred.com/news/2018/3/6/mens-ice-hockey-mccrea-named-finalist-for-best-defensive-defenseman-award.aspx)

Hmm.  Turning those into Hobey hat tricks so they have something to talk about.  All it really does is disappoint 67% of the finalists.  I think they should just name the winner.

Except coach.  I want to see Rand Pecknold's butthurt.

Semifinalist

The headline says semifinalist, but the list says finalist. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. ::deadhorse::

Schafer finalist for ECAC COTY (http://www.ecachockey.com/men/2017-18/News/20180903_COTYR), along with Casey Jones (and Rick Bennett).

Mike hasn't won it in 13 years (http://www.tbrw.info/?/ecac_History/ecac_COTY.html); it would be nice recognition.

Galajda Named Finalist for ECAC League's Rookie of the Year Award (http://ecachockey.com/men/2017-18/News/20180803_ROTY_Finalists)

Quote from: Jim HylaGalajda Named Finalist for ECAC League's Rookie of the Year Award (http://ecachockey.com/men/2017-18/News/20180803_ROTY_Finalists)

Galajda should win this one easily, I would think.

And I think Schafer will win, too.

Okay so the way they do the Hobey selection now has infected its way down to the league awards now. Coach of the Year "finalist?" You know how many Finalists there are? There are twelve. And we usually can tell right away who the top 2 or 3 are just by glancing at the standings and sometimes the pre-season polls; we don't need special Finalist recognition. Just announce the damn awards like the Ivy League still does. Can the pomp.

While I'm at it, now the stupidly-named Richter award (he never had any real success in his two collegiate seasons before bolting) gets a list of "semi-finalists?" Is this a tournament? Do the semifinalists get to go one-on-one to see who elevated to all-vaunted "Finalist?" Will the losers get roses and depart the crease to a ballad? Jebus. The award will be between Galajda, Point, and Morris, with Kielly and Primeau as dark-horses.

10 --> 3 --> 1 seems OK to me for national awards for ROTY, POTY, forwards and defensemen.  There are a shit ton of them, so why not?

For GOTY and COTY, to maintain the same level of quality you'd need to contract the 10 to 5, but 5 --> 3 is dumb, so they should just have 3 --> 1.

I think the Hobey 10 --> 3 --> 1 progression is actually pretty cool, and I will challenge you to a curmudgeon contest any day.

Enough "Finalists" crapola. Let's talk actual hardware:

McCrea takes it. (http://www.ecachockey.com/men/2017-18/News/20180903_McCrea_BDD)

I'm surprised they're announcing this today. Usually, they dump all the awards out of the box a day before the Lake Placid Semis.

Plus, it's pretty silly to penalize a coach for his team having high expectations heading into the season, which is usually a product of recent/sustained success under that same coach...but I agree with you the voters for these CotY awards do seem to base their votes almost entirely on expectations vs. results.

Not necessarily.  Mike won in 2003 with a team predicted to win the ECACs.

Here (http://tbrw.info/index.html?/tbrw_Info/tbrw_Prediction_History.html) is the table of improvement against the Coaches' poll.

+4 Union
+2 Cornell
-1 Clarkson

Note Dartmouth was also +4.

Typical Bearlover- you love statistics, why not read some?

Tufto leads all freshman nationally in PPG and total points (1.14ppg), and he plays on a mediocre team.   Yet Galadja, plays for one of the best teams in the country, and Cornell gives up the fewest shots/game in the country (which ought to translate to Galadja seeing more clean shot attempts that are easier looks for him).

It's an easy win?

Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82Gotta think that one's going to Donato since they already gave Galajda an award, especially with Sucks making it to Placid.

Different take. Galajda has glitzy numbers because he's playing behind the #1 defense in the country. Donato has glitzy numbers because he's scored over 25% of his team's goals. So how to think about this?

Galajda: Do you penalize a player because he's playing on a great team? Without him, chances are Cornell is still going to the NCAA's but with a lower seed.

Donato: The fact that he's a skater w/26 goals and the next-highest goal scorer on the team has 10 goals, says Donato is transcending his team. Without him, Harvard would be playing golf today.

Best offensive player.  Hard to say Galajda isn't the best defensive player.

And we all know offense wins awards over defense.

Look I know we love Cornell and all but Donato is the best player in the conference.

Galajda's stats are literally not materially better than Stewart's. Take a look at the difference between Colton Point and his backups and tell me that Galajda is the MVP.

Besides, Galadja is only a freshman, part of an impactful freshmen class, with many of the most productive upperclassmen coming back next year. So chances are he'll have the chance to win the award in the near future. Donato, on the other hand, might be going pro at the end of this season. So the committee would want to give him his trophy now.

Here's another point. All signs point to Donato being very successful as a pro. Imagine him getting to the NHL HOF, but the committee passed him over for what may be a 1-season, flash-in-the-pan freshman. I hope this is not how Galadja turns out, but there's always the chance. If you're the committee, wouldn't you cover your bets?

It's not the committee's job to take any of these things into account--their job is to choose the best player in the ECAC this year, period.

While true, committees like this play those games all the time, especially when there is nothing at stake.  You know the expression that the most vicious battles are over corner offices.  

Take a look at the complete list of ECAC Hobey winners (http://www.tbrw.info/?/ncaa_History/hobey_Baker.html).  It's not an accident.

Yep. Vesey got the Hobey as a "Career Achievement Award," as his Junior season was better, and there were better players the year he won.

ECAC awards notoriously favor upperclassmen, and it's more difficult for Goaltenders to win Player of the Year awards, especially against high-scoring candidates. After last night, he leads the nation in GPG. It's going to be Donato Jr, and it's well deserved.

Having been on the Committee -- and voted for a non-winner all 3 times -- I can tell you that most people on it vote for dumb reasons (actually, most people anywhere on anything vote for dumb reasons) ... But it's not necessarily conscious and calculated like this.

I will also say that, while true Vesey may have won because of that sentiment (subconsciously) I still think you could construct a pretty good argument for him being the best player his senior year. And I made that argument, but then chickened out and named Kyle Connor our CHN POTY anyway. Connor would've been the second straight freshman to win. And the best player in college hockey last year was Clayton Keller, another freshman, and he wasn't even among the finalists.

I've always wanted to create a Lifetime Achievement Award and add it to the mix of what takes place annually (a la the Richter Award, which was an invention of a magazine in Minnesota) - but I don't have enough time or money to give it the proper attention/traction it needs.

We are really lucky Mike is a Cornellian. If he were a mercenary coach, like many are, he'd have long gone by now. Instead, we have consistency and stability. This season he's shown that he can change with the game, and still excell.

Well done, Mike!

Keep Cornell Great!

Basing all-conference defensemen on points isn't great, but I do think defense can be hard to measure beyond the eye test. Plus/minus and blocked shots both help, but they only go so far. Points is a hard and fast stat, so I can see the appeal. Plus, high scoring defensemen tend to be star players.

Yeah, but.................leaving off your pick for "Best Defensive Defenseman" tells a lot. If you can pick that, you ought to be able to decide if he belongs on All-ECAC team.

They said no, but I'm glad he's on our team.

Maybe, but somehow they were able to decide on a "best defensive defenseman."

Maybe what you can do is to pick your top offensive forwards first. Then, for each of your candidate defensemen, see how many points your stud forwards scored when they played against each other.

True, such an isolated +/- is partly a measure of the respective teams rather than the individuals involved, but that's a necessary problem with all individual awards in a team sport.

But at least USCHO headlined McCrea when they announed the ECAC awards. (http://www.uscho.com/2018/03/13/ecac-hockey-announces-all-league-teams-handful-of-individual-awards/)::cheer::

Quote from: Jim HylaA decidedly non-Cornell team. Maybe because we're a team and not individuals.

No real argument here.  Vanderlaan is at least a 3rd teamer to me.  I wish Smith got more recognition.  Donaldson in my mind deserves the rookie team but that's probably #b31b1b glasses.

Note that 2nd place (and dead!) Union has even less representation than we.

It's the Dryden Award. I'm all for using that name. Frankly, I think the national goaltender award should also carry that name.

Probably due to budget issues, but some of these CHN articles look like they were posted as written without any amount of editing. Not as blatant as the stuff on USCHO though.

There are very big sites, 10X, 100X the size of CHN or the lax sites, that make do with little or no editing. Every site is cost-conscious. Online advertising just doesn't match print advertising.

Out of 13 new players for next season including a transfer who showed up last season to sit out and two more transfers who won't be eligible until the second semester, 11 are in the online directory as of today and all are Business and Management majors. All five incoming women's players are also Business and Management majors.

I often think that the NCAA should require that the distribution of majors on a team should reflect the general student body, just like grades are supposed to, but it will never happen.

BU's disproportionate major of choice among the hockey team is the College of General Studies, or CGS, a holdall intended for freshmen and sophomores still determining life's path and not wishing to be frightened by undue academic rigor. Also known as Crayons, Glue, Scissors.

I'm afraid I must defend CGS, as my son went there. It's true that BU channels students to CGS who are in the lower part of BU's admission distribution. As it was explained to us, these are students who have shown they can do well at BU but who need more structure acclimating to college. Unlike other colleges, like Arts & Sciences, CGS has a very structured curriculum, with no electives until the second year (and then only one per semester). Instead, the faculty decides what students need to know and team-teaches a set of courses, which themselves are coordinated with each other. For example, one course might be covering the Enlightenment at the same time a complementary one might be covering Newtonian physics. My son had applied to one of BU's most popular majors (Film & TV), but was admitted to CGS instead. Initially we were leery of this, thinking it was some sort of booby prize. But when we spoke to faculty members in F&TV, they said students coming out of CGS were often better than those coming from A&S. This persuaded us to let him go there.

It does not surprise me that CGS students are better prepared. At many colleges it's common for incoming students to spend their first two years fulfilling "General Education" requirements. Although some majors may prescribe certain courses to fulfill GenEd requirements (e.g., engineering might require calculus to satisfy a quantitative reasoning GenEd requirement), most majors allow the students to choose most of their courses. For example, I know of one university that allows students to choose from over 14,000 GenEd credit hours to fulfill a 40-hr GenEd requirement. In contrast to, say, Columbia with its great books tradition, this is the exact opposite: the university in question doesn't have the foggiest idea of any substantive knowledge students should have. And, of course, with a ratio of over 350:1 of credit hours to choose from per 1 credit-hour requirement, it's easy for students to find gut courses.

I'm very happy my son went through CGS before going into the F&TV major. When I heard him holding his own discussing quantum mechanics with his older brother, who was a National Merit Scholar and double-majored in physics and philosophy at a top liberal arts college, and when after we saw Lincoln together he mentioned that Democrats and Republicans "were reversed" (left-to-right) at the time of the Civil War, I knew he had made the right choice.
