Building off the non-conference opponents schedule that ClarksonHockey posted in the men's schedule thread:
Oct. 13 vs. Penn State
Oct. 14 vs. Penn State
Oct. 20 at Mercyhurst
Oct. 21 at Mercyhurst
Nov. 24 vs. Minnesota at D1 in DC
Nov. 25.vs. St. Thomas at D1 in DC
The D1 in DC (https://www.pridehockey.com/d1indc) event is at the Washington Capitals' practice facility in Arlington, VA. Harvard is the fourth team in the event, and I'm basing Cornell's games off the Minnesota schedule (https://gophersports.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/schedule). For those not familiar with St. Thomas, that is a WCHA school on the women's side (men are in the CCHA). St. Thomas moved up its sports teams up to Division I a few years back after they got kicked out of their DIII conference for being too good.

Potential star goalie Annalise Bergmann posted the other day that she's accelerating her matriculation and will be in Ithaca this fall. She'll almost certainly be the starter from day 1.
Just noticed that Cornell appears to have added F Katie Chan from Colgate via the transfer portal (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ClTXa_4EqaU7zaqsFJ4r-SrKXJB2e4B60T16b_vfqqg/edit#gid=0). She had 8G and 9A in 40 games last season.

That's good news since that was our weakest position last season.
Here's a rundown in The Hockey News (https://thehockeynews.com/womens/college/recruiting-class-cornell-building-contender-womens-hockey-ncaa) of the incoming recruiting class. This has to be a top 3 class nationally.
Maybe this has been posted earlier, but this article in The Hockey News will make you smile: "Recruiting Class: Cornell Building A Contender Through 2023-2024 Class (https://thehockeynews.com/womens/college/recruiting-class-cornell-building-contender-womens-hockey-ncaa)."
And by the way, "Keira Hurry" has to be one of the best names for a hockey player I've ever heard. **]
Whoops! Scooped by Scoop85.
If the news of Keira Hurry's flip is true (she has been listed as a Clarkson commit for a long time), this is a huge recruiting class. Last year's team was tantalizing close at points, but was missing (1) consistent goaltending, (2) healthy bodies, and (3) someone other than Izzy Daniel who can bring the puck up the ice and put fear into the opposing team.
Kiera Hurry no longer listed in the article above.

I'm pretty sure they based that article on the commits listed as committed to Cornell on its Elite Prospects recruiting page for the 2023-24 season.
Avar is a 2024-25 commit.
Huntley was committed but changed her commit to BU early this year. I assume admissions.
I don't think Keira Hurry was ever committed to Cornell.

Is it a quirk of the calendar that there are exhibitions in September or was there a change in Ivy rules? I saw that the team started practicing yesterday.
Were the coaches on the ice? Traditionally, both teams start skating a couple of times a week as soon as classes begin but without coaches. They used to be called "captain's practice" but that may have changed.

That's interesting. I have a hard time believing the Ivies are going to drop their Performative Academic schtick. I'll believe it when we go to 34 games.
hockey has been 1 hr at a time blocks for a few weeks, which is like half of what the non ivies can do.
I have no idea what to make of this video, lol, but it's worth noting that it looks like the team will have players' names on the jerseys for the first time in a very long time.

Problem — Is genitalialess Domestic Abuser Bear, male, female, transgender, cisgender, hermaphroditic? Further, is he, she, it, they — gay, straight, bisexual or asexual? Probably, just too confusing for our Athletic Department to sort out. Well, at least, not a drag bear!
Maybe, but probably not, just better graphic design and easier to reproduce digitally? Who knows. I'll go ask Alexia.

Colgate was the unanimous pick to finish on top, with their exception of the Colgate coach, who was prohibited from voting for his own team, giving us a bone by voting for Cornell for No. 1.
Rory Guilday was voted the preseason All-ECAC team.
8-3 exhibition win (https://cornellbigred.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/stats/2023-24/university-of-toronto/boxscore/57442) against the University of Toronto today, with eight different goal-scorers. I had the game on but wasn't really paying close attention. The top line was Izzy Daniel, Lily Delianedis and Katie Chan, the transfer from Colgate. Annelies Bergmann was in goal the second half of the game and gave up one goal (on a bit of a defensive breakdown) on two shots.

Under an inch of ice, the finer details of a bear grow fuzzy. If we had a C and went to the bear, there'd be unhappiness, too.

Interesting news. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder what the novel (i,e. patentable) aspect to the work is. It can't simply be that women have different sizes and shapes to their torso therefore different size pads are needed. Is it the custom measurement approach? Is it a new way of arranging the straps or non-obvious changes to the shape of the pads?
Sorry, the enginerd in me couldn't help but wonder.
The article talks about a design patent, so a patent could be issued for equipment that is specifically designed to protect a woman in ways that current equipment can't even if the material and the purpose are the same. The article references the ways that female bodies are different than male bodies from the perspective of an athlete in addition to the obvious issues of protecting one's breasts when playing a contact sport. The fact that the major equipment manufacturers offer very few options designed for women makes the argument of issuing a patent even stronger. It is not as though there is a lot of "prior art."
7-0 win over Syracuse tonight. Katie Chan and Avi Adam both had 2 goals, and Gabbie Rud had 4 assists. It's early, but it's looking like there's some good offensive depth on this team. Deanna Fraser got the shutout in goal.

I asked a retired patent law friend (BS '74, JD '77) to comment:
QuoteYes, in theory, a new design for shoulder pads should be patentable. It would be necessary to describe how the new pads are different from previous pads and why those differences would not be obvious. Using sensors or a scanner to come up with the design probably doesn't matter. The issue is how is the end result different.
The article says that the inventor is working with Cornell Tech Licensing to consider patenting. However, the article says they are looking at design patent protection, which protects the ornamental aspects of a design. They would obtain stronger protection with a utility patent (the more standard kind of patent) which covers the utility of a design.

The Sun just got around to announcing the new "fieldhouse" project so a report on womnen's hockey should hit the webpage in December.
2-1 win at RPI
I watched most of the game while doing chores around the house and my impression from what I saw was that the score makes it look closer than it was. Cornell controlled most of the play and had more quality shots even though the stats are pretty balanced. Scored a SHG I think. RPI's one goal was an ENG at the end of the game.

Wow 6-1 win - absolutely dominant showing against an excellent team
Really enjoyed being at this game. The women put on the best period of hockey so far this year in the first period! And kept up a great team effort for the rest of the game.
5-1 win against Brown today. Izzy Daniel had a goal and an assist and has at least 2 points in every game this season.

I forgot about the Coach Stone scandal. Tough for the players but I can't help it: hee, hee, hee.
Women up 1-0 with a ppg about 5 minutes into the 2nd period. Fraiser in goal - not sure why - but she is holding her own. Either Dartmouth is way better than Harvard or we are not playing with the same intensity as yesterday. Some sloppy play.
We scored on Dartmouth's first penalty and we just killed our own first penalty.
2-0 after another ppg. I have the sound muted so no clue who scored but Izzy had the perfect pass assist.
And another ppg about halfway through the 3rd period. We can't score even strength but we are 3-3 on the power play.
And as I was typing, Izzy scored even strength. So 4-0
Dartmouth got a couple late -- final score 4-2

I just listened to the Big Red Sports Network podcast interview (https://www.cornellbrsn.com/big-red-hockeycast/episode/1ad2c1c8/choppin-it-up-with-annelies-bergmann-27) with freshman goalie Annelies Bergmann. She's quite a story.
She grew up playing hockey mostly only against boys, and this past April she became the only woman to play in a men's junior hockey game at the Tier I or II level in the U.S. (https://www.flohockey.tv/articles/10869447-making-history-inside-annelies-bergmanns-groundbreaking-nahl-start) She also said she committed to Cornell when she was in 7th grade!
Bergmann said Cornell's coaching staff asked her to matriculate at Cornell a year earlier than originally planned, so she had to scramble to take enough classes to get her degree. Derraugh must have realized that he needed to boost the goaltending corps sooner rather than later after that was the biggest weakness of last year's team. Bergmann also said she was told she could still enroll at Cornell without having her high school degree, but the dean of the ILR School didn't think that was a good idea.
In any case, she's off to a great start, and has started 8 of our first 11 games. It looks like her presence has also raised the performance of Deanna Fraser, who is also off to a good start, playing much better than she did last year. Bergmann said one of the biggest adjustments she's had to make after playing mostly against men is learning how to control rebounds. With the men's game, she said the shots were harder and she usually just had time to react to them, while the shots in the women's game aren't as hard, giving her more control of the rebounds.

It's interesting, I went back and looked at her stats from last season and on the surface they are not bad, but I agree that she has looked better this season. Having a healthier D (knocks on wood) has also been a plus. We still for the most part haven't seen the top ECAC teams play each other, so I'm not sure what to make of where Cornell stands this season. We'll know a bit more after this weekend against Quinnipiac and Princeton, but I think we'll really get a better sense when Cornell and Colgate play each other along with Clarkson and St. Lawrence in early January. Cornell is about to start a pretty brutal stretch:

Yes, Arlington. Planning to attend the game Friday and then will head up to NYC on Saturday for the MSG game.
The crappy camera work continues as the women host Q. As for the play, I think Q is the best team we have seen so far, especially their goaltending. We have had the better of the play as the 2nd period gets underway but can't get a puck past her.
I am going to quit posting since Q just scored as the have controlled possession in the 2nd period.

I am again enjoying the game on ESPN+ but after yesterday, I am not going to post anything of note other than to say the 1st period has ended and Cornell's second goal, scored late in the period, was a thing of beauty.
4-3 P final...lost home weekend
4-1 win over St. Thomas today in front of a nice Cornell contingent in Northern Virginia. Piper Grober scored her first collegiate goal, which wound up being the game-winner. Minnesota up tomorrow; the Gophers beat Harvard 3-1. It's not a bracketed event, so I have idea if they are going to name a "champion" or anything.
Good test today at 4 with Minnesota. Webcast on youtube.
They play 20 minutes from my house, and I'm not going.
I accept full responsibility for my actions. I am a bad person.
I no longer feel guilty. They are piping some crossover country garbage into the Iceplex at 130 dB. Fuck that noise, literally.
Gotta admit, watching all the little girls in the crowd spaz out and run down and talk to the players in the tunnel was pretty moving.
Really good crowd noise for Cornell.
Apparently we're not supposed to scream "fuck" in the crowd.
Good to know.
Not much of a "Red!"
Probably for the best, as we let the gun fondlers carry down here and they're fragile.
Futility: St. Lawrence women playing at Harvard Friday (12/1) got off 96 shots, 52 on goal, played to a scoreless regulation tie, lost 4 minutes into OT.
Cornell women with the 3-2 OT win over previously undefeated Clarkson at Lynah tonight. Clarkson led 1-0 and then 2-1 before Izzy Daniel tied it with about 10 minutes left in the 3rd. Delianedis scored the game winner. Both goaltenders were superb. Cornell got all four power plays, and the Clarkson coach was staring down the referees after the game.
This was an amazing game to watch! Effort by both teams was great and exciting! Big Red played very well! I enjoyed this game as much or more than any other over last 32 years at Lynah.
Game highlights on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nks9pVUw5pE)
Quote from: scoop85Clarkson coach was staring down the referees after the game.
From what the Cornell announcers said, it sounded like Clarkson thought there should have been an icing call on Cornell on the play leading up to the game-winning goal. In the Clarkson writeup, they thought Daniel should have been called for a penalty for the play in which she stole the puck from the Clarkson player. In any case, the game-winning goal was a beautiful goal set up by a great pass.

I looked at the NEWHA conference, and it seems they have a curious system where a win is worth two points and a tie is worth one point. Also strange they only have columns designating Wins, Losses, Ties, and Points. That's it. Huh. How about that.
Almost done with the Colgate weekend, and they have thoroughly kicked our ass in both games. Really good team in Hamilton this year and we don't nearly have the depth of talent to keep up.

Women take a 3-0 lead early 2nd but give back most of it. Now 4-3 Red after 2.

Actually, the Princeton game ended 5-3 as Izzy Daniel was heading for an empty net goal at 4-3, Sarah Fillier threw her stick in the path of the puck. I don't know if the stick hit the puck, but apparently the rules state that if the defender throws the stick or any other piece of their equipment in the path of the puck shot toward the empty net, a goal is awarded. This is important because Izzy Daniel is second in the ECAC in points, and in the lead for points per game.
Quinnipiac game was amazing as Q came back from a 3-0 deficit and then, as the video showed, Gabbie Rud scored with less than a minute left.
Cornell was never up by 3 goals; it was tied after the first period and Cornell led 3-1 when Q scored 2 to tie after pulling the goalie with about 2 minutes left in the third period.

Yeah, Dartmouth is bad,
Edit: And now 12-0.
Last Ivy to admit women. Serves them right.
Prefontaine with the hat trick to make it lucky 13.
Jockims gets her third for the extra point. Now 14-0.
And that's the final.
After Saturday's 7-2 win over Harvard, the Red are in fourth place in the ECAC, five points ahead of Quinnipiac with a game in hand. The women now let all 12 teams into the playoffs, so top 4 teams get the first-round bye. Huge weekend coming up, as Cornell plays at St. Lawrence and Clarkson, the third- and second-place teams right now.

2-0 over Clsrkson after two
I tell ya, these refs are letting EVERYTHING go today. There seems to be a lot of confusion about what constitutes a body check in women's hockey. But they've also missed a bunch of interferences and crosschecks both ways. Really absurd lack of control that would never happen in the men's game.
Cornell wins 3-0 despite being outshot 45-16. Bergmann with her second shutout. Clarkson pulled goalie with about three minutes left. Cornell's third goal was a breakaway by Karel Prefontaine, a freshman who now has 9 goals and does a nice job of filling in for the injured Chan on Cornell's top line. Cornell's win kept Clarkson from tying Colgate for first place.

Izzy Daniel's goal gave her 50 points this season, which is tied for the first in the nation, as far as I can tell. (The NCAA site isn't updated with this weekend's games yet, so I just took a quick glance at what the other scoring leaders did.) She's also right at the top in points per game at 2.0.

3-1 win over Union today clinched a first-round bye in the playoffs. Cornell will need a couple of wins next weekend and some help to move up from fourth, though.
After scoring 21 goals two weeks ago against Dartmouth and Harvard, Cornell has had a tough time scoring goals, scoring just four each of the past two weekends. The caliber of the opponents has been better, but both teams Cornell played this weekend are in the lower half of the ECAC standings.

Women need OT to beat a very hot Brown goaltender.
Quote from: dag14Women need OT to beat a very hot Brown goaltender.
Good to get the win. They were down 1-0 with less than 10 minutes left.
The tying goal late in the third period was a fluke shot from the point which hit a rut on the ice and bounced over the goaltender's shoulder. The winning goal in OT was a power-play goal by Izzy Daniel after the Brown announcer was irate over the penalty call, which was for interference off the opening faceoff. He said that had been going on all game without being called. In any case, the Brown goalie made 50 saves.
Woohoo, Red!

Cornell gets Quinnipiac in the ECAC quarterfinals next weekend at Lynah.
There are scenarios (https://www.bcinterruption.com/boston-college-bc-eagles-mens-womens-hockey-ranking-calculators/2024/2/25/24083147/what-if-the-2024-ncaa-womens-hockey-tournament-pairwise-predictor) in which Cornell doesn't make the NCAA tournament, but if the conference tournaments are relatively chalk-y, it's hard to move the Red out of the No. 6 or No. 7 spot in the Pairwise (which means they'd host a first-round NCAA tournament game) even if they lose to Quinnipiac this weekend.

Derraugh is Coach of the Year for the 5th time. Daniel is Player of the Year. Bergmann is Rookie of the Year. And more! Considering that Cornell was 9-1 in Ivy play, outscoring its opponents 53-16, the honors weren't a surprise. But even so, it's nice to see the program get the well-deserved recognition.
Earlier in the week Bergmann and Prefontaine made the ECAC all-rookie team. I think the first team and other major awards come later this week.

Quote from: ERWow the team is so good that we take it for granted? Huh, people show up for the men every year so...
I wouldn't put too much stock in the crowd for this game, the women have had some great crowds this year and this game was at a terrible time, I have no doubt tomorrow will be much more full. Also, the men seem to have the same problem in the ECAC playoffs, I remember a few years ago when Cornell played colgate in the quarters it went to game 3 on Sunday with the season on the line and that was as dead as I can remember seeing lynah. Anyway, great win and let's sweep tomorrow.
I think the ECAC or NCAA rule is that ice must be idle for 2 hours before the teams take the ice for warmups, etc. So moving the start later gave them a cushion in case of OT.
I guess that's why they asked Bergmann to come in a year early!
the crowds on friday and any sunday in the playoffs have always been down.
The winning goal was a real oddball gift from Lynah rink. The puck bounced hard off the boards just inside the corner and came straight out. We know that Lynah has deep, non-standard corners, within the standard 200'x85' frame. An NHL regulation rink would have ricocheted the puck back towards the goal mouth rather than straight back out, and the Q goalie got caught in no-woman's-land when she tried to play the puck.

Geeez. When I was in school, we rarely made the playoffs, period, and when we did we got destroyed on the road. Now it's "*yawn* whatever, every year..."
Of course this was before there were any other conferences or an NCAA tournament, when the ECAC was the de facto national "title." The skill-level is so much higher now, across the board. The talent the Darraugh era has brought in is just ridiculously exciting. Now we get to follow players to the National teams & pros. Go support the women.

Would be a great time for the first win over Colgate this season. At this point, Cornell is most likely no worse than the No. 6 team in the Pairwise but might be able to sneak up into the top 5 (and a likely first-round bye in the NCAA tournament) if it wins the ECAC tournament. No. 6 is pretty good in terms of the NCAAs, because you're probably going to get the NEWHA champ in the first round.

Down 0-1 after one period. Colgate got a PPG late in the period. Colgate has more depth than we do but the women are playing hard and keeping up. Unlike the Denver lacrosse game, these officials have no problem with body contact, especially tripping and holding. I guess the rules in playoff hockey are different....
I'd trust Bergman to back up Shane. She and Izzy are the only thing between us and about a 5-goal deficit so far today.
1-0 after 2, that period felt like about 25 shots to 5.
I just checked the stats. We are winning 60% of the faceoffs but that is the only stat we are winning. They are outshooting us more than 2 to 1, including the shots on goal.
Thank god we tied it, just a minute after Izzy had 80% of a wide open net after a Gate screwup... and hits the post.
1-1, 13:50 in reg.
And they score on our goalie miscue.
Now 3-1 on a ppg.
Colgate wins 5-1. Cornell was pretty much locked into the No. 6 spot in the Pairwise, so there is a pretty good chance they're going to be back in Hamilton next week for a first-round NCAA game, with the winner playing Colgate.

If that's the case, and we get by our first-round game, no one beats Cornell four times in a season!
Cornell does indeed get Stonehill in the first round in Hamilton and would play Colgate if they win.
Edit: Looks like the first-round game is Thursday and the second-round game would be Saturday.
Full bracket: https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/icehockey-women/nc/2024
Conference breakdown:
ECAC: 4 teams (Cornell, Colgate, Clarkson, St. Lawrence)
WCHA: 4 teams (Ohio State, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Minnesota-Duluth)
Hockey East, CHA and NEWHA: 1 team each (UConn, Penn State, Stonehill)
Matchup vs stonehill will be a snoozer but colgate has had our number this year, hard to be confident for that game.
NCAA bracket has Cornell in the Colgate-hosted regional Thursday 3/14 7pm EDT against Stonehill. Colgate as the 3-seed gets a first-round bye (as do #1 Ohio State and #2 Wisconsin, but not #4 Clarkson or #5 Minnesota). If Cornell advances, Colgate is a tough opponent Saturday, March 16, 3 pm. But the bottom bracket does not have #1 seed Ohio State. That is the tournament's toughest opponent.
4 and 5 get byes, there just isn't anyone who has to play to get to them. Just like seeds 1-3, they start in the QF.
The way it works out better to play and get going than sit and play a team you struggle with.
Stonehill is only in its second year as a DI program. At one point this season, both of their goalies were injured and a defenseman had to play goal.

On one hand, they did win 21 games this season, finishing 1 point out of 2nd in their league. (LIU was the runaway #1 seed but was upset in the semi).
On another hand, Stonehill went 3-6 in OOC play and didn't score until their 5th game, while giving up 7 in four of those.

A little sloppy in the first, but hopefully that late goal will help get them playing better the rest of the game. Stonehill's early chances came mostly off bad Cornell play in their own zone.
Now 6-1 good "guys" end of 2.
Much better.
Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82Now 6-1 good "guys" end of 2.
Much better.
The sixth goal, by Rory Guilday with 20 seconds left in the second period, left the Colgate commentator saying "the Big Red again are in the Red Light District," which is funny but perhaps inappropriate.
And...7-1 Final.
Our Athletic Department should charter a couple of buses and get some fans to Hamilton to support our WIH team!

Wait. Put some thought and effort into this? Athletics
Doesn't help the men are home vs Harvard though this weekend. Hockey fans are gonna go for that first.

Attendance of Colgate Class of '64 Arena: 215
Attendance at St Lawrence 1 Penn State 0 (OT) in Madison: about the same
Attendance likely for SLU-Wisconsin Saturday: sell-out (LaBahn Arena, capacity 2273), because Wisconsin fans are hockey-mad (their main arena, Kohl Center, holds 15,000 for hockey).
Of note: the Penn State student run paper (Daily Collegian) and a fan site (Onward State) had substantial coverage within 30 minutes of the game ending.
The Sun's coverage late Thursday had yet to publish. Sheesh. The Sun was effectively my undergraduate major.

Women's game is at 2, men's at 7. Leave Ithaca at noon, leave Hamilton around 4:30ish. Check hoops on your tablet. Lax isn't until Sunday.

Indeed.
Actually, I was thinking about the triple overtime game in Green Bay. I had to drive to Chicago right after that game and then wake up early enough for a 7 AM flight out of Midway the next morning.

I was supposed to meet my fairly-new girlfriend at a party but the game kept going. We've been married for over 15 years but it was touch and go for a hot minute.

A reminder that Cornell plays at Colgate today at 2 for a ticket to the Frozen Four. Live coverage here (https://www.espn.com/search/_/q/colgate/o/watch/appearance).
Bergman busy early.
Colgate just scored after yet another Cornell turnover. Colgate clearly bigger, faster, and more tenacious on puck retrievals
1-0 Colgate after one. Colgate had the better of play, and ironically Gate scored on a bad turnover. We're in it but it is an uphill task against a much better team than we are.
We have a power play, we need to cash in.
REALLY nice try on a rebound after a great set upon pp. Excellent passing and movement.
Osbourne, Gate goalie, loses her stick and Cornell scores!!!!!
1-1, after 2. Second period evened out. We are just one great period away from the Frozen Four.
Colgate scores with 4 minutes to go. :-(
Quote from: TrotskyColgate scores with 4 minutes to go. :-(
Only a matter of time. We can't string any passes together, and Colgate has had the clear edge in play. I was hoping we could get to OT and score off a lucky bounce, but that seems like a big hill to climb now.
Yes, have just 4 SOG in the period. Now we need a heroic play by Izzy or someone.
TBH Colgate is an outstanding team, and we are right here with them. Either way, a great game and season.
Cornell EN.
Colgate ENG, wins 3-1.
All 3 games to colgate. Nice
Quote from: blackwidowAll 3 games to colgate. Nice
Actually Colgate beat us all 4 games. We gave it a good go today, but Colgate is a national championship contender, and we're a cut below them this season.
Flipped over to Clarkson game. Clarkson just tied Minnesota with an EAG. Crowd it Potsdam seems much larger than Hamilton.
Quote from: blackwidowAll 3 games to colgate. Nice
Actually, Colgate beat us four times this year -- twice in regular season, once in ECACs and today.

Now in triple overtime...
Nobody is stopping OSU or Wisco this year. That is a pre-ordained final.
Women's hockey has had four 2-team eras since the national title began:
2001-05 Minnesota-Duluth (3) Minnesota (2)
2006-11 Wisconsin (4) Minnesota-Duluth (2)
2012-18 Minnesota (4) Clarkson (3)
2019-23 Wisconsin (3) Ohio State (1)

Hard to believe neither Johnston nor Jenner were finalists. For my money the two best women ever to play for Cornell

Absolutely. On the eye, Brianne Jenner is the clear GOAT of Cornell Women's Hockey. It just so happened that there were generational talents at other, more nationally-competitive, schools at the same time
Forward Leah MacSween, who played in one game this past season, is in the transfer portal.

Of course she (Ruggiero) was out of Ivy eligibility. I wonder if Derraugh plans to pull someone in from the transfer portal like he did with Katie Chan. There's a lot of talent there.
