Always appreciated, Jim. Do you know if they are going to continue to largely keep the men and women from playing at home the same weekend? I always like when I can get up to Ithaca and see both teams play.
Cornell was looking for one or two games Jan 3-4.
Glad to see you posting here, Jim.
Are we still expected to get a home series vs North Dakota next year?
Quote from: chimpfoodAre we still expected to get a home series vs North Dakota next year?
One must also wonder if the single game against BU from last season will be reciprocated at Lynah.
I wouldn't be suprised if the Colgate game is the first weekend of December again. I can't recall that series being during a break in any recent times.
Cornell/UND will be November 1-2

Great to see UND at home. Just hate it when our first games are against good teams that have already played. Tougher than usual to win those, I fear. I suspect it may be the only time we can get them scheduled.
To respond to others, I don't know any more than this schedule. Don't even know the women's schedule.

Forgot to say thanks and I posted it. Keep the news flowing.
That is a bitch opener, but extremely exciting!
Well we won two at UND recently right so can sweep them again at Lynah!
Asked before but any chance we get the return games at AIC or Sacred Heart this upcoming season?
A great campaign and first ECAC title since 2010, next year we make a run to St. Louis!
wasnt that UMD not UND
Quote from: upprdeckwasnt that UMD not UND
We swept UND at the Ralph in Jan 2022. It's a safe assumption that this is the return trip.
We opened 2022-23 by being swept at UMD, and swept them at Lynah to open 2023-24.

That was also the de facto 2020 national championship, with Cornell having been ranked #1 in the polls at the end of 2020 and North Dakota #1 in the PWR then.

No ECAC team had done it until then
ASU released their schedule today. Jan 3-4 in Desert Hockey Classic tournament with ASU, Robert Morris, and U Mass. Not clear yet who we will play in the first game.
I would think that leaves two more OOC games to fill in the schedule that will be somewhere on the road.
Quote from: Todd RASU released their schedule today. Jan 3-4 in Desert Hockey Classic tournament with ASU, Robert Morris, and U Mass. Not clear yet who we will play in the first game.
I would put money on ASU-RMU early game and Cornell-UMass late game.
Quote from: Todd RASU released their schedule today. Jan 3-4 in Desert Hockey Classic tournament with ASU, Robert Morris, and U Mass. Not clear yet who we will play in the first game.
I'm happy with this. Each game is a true OOC game, and all 4 teams are from different conferences. I dislike seeing us play an ECAC team in an OCC game.

True. Hopefully we get UMass to at least guarantee one high level opponent. ASU is questionable and RMU is unlikely to be particularly good.
The 2024 lacrosse team did well to schedule mostly HQ OOC opponents. We're fortunate that even without playing many (any?) southern schools the Midwest plus Denver lax has become high quality
ECAC HOCKEY RELEASES 2024-25 MEN'S HOCKEY LEAGUE SCHEDULE
Cornell's First League Game Scheduled for Nov. 8
ITHACA, N.Y. — ECAC Hockey jointly announced with all 12 member institutions on Thursday afternoon the league schedule for the upcoming 2024-25 men's hockey season.
Cornell's league schedule will begin Nov. 8 when it hosts Yale and welcomes Brown the following night (Nov. 9).
The first four conference games, and five of the Big Red's first six league contests, will be against Ivy League competition as Cornell will make its annual trip to Northern New England on Nov. 15-16, traveling to Dartmouth and Harvard, respectively.
Highlighting the contests on the weekend of Nov. 22-23 will be the return of former associate head coach Ben Syer when Princeton makes its trip to Lynah Rink on Nov. 23.
After the Big Red's home-and-home series with Colgate (Dec. 6-7), Cornell will not play another league game until Jan. 17-18 when it begins the first of seven consecutive weekends with league games when it concludes its regular-season series with Princeton and Quinnipiac.
The remaining seven weekends of play will see Cornell alternating between road and home games as the highly-anticipated weekend between Harvard and Dartmouth (Jan. 24-25) will serve as the Big Red's first home league games since its Dec. 6 contest with Colgate.
Rounding out Cornell's league schedule will see the Big Red play fellow Empire State rivals St. Lawrence, Clarkson, Union, and RPI a combined eight times over the final 10 games.
ECAC Hockey's playoff structure remains the same from the 2023-24 season, where the No. 5-8 seeds will host the No. 9-12 seeds in a one-game playoff to be played on either March 7 or 8. The quarterfinals will be a best-of-three series from March 14-16 with the top four seeds hosting the four winners of the first-round matchups. Lake Placid will once again host the semifinals and championship game at Herb Brooks Arena — 1980 Rink on March 21 and 22.
Cornell will announce the remainder of its 2024-25 schedule with its non-conference contests at a later date.
Not sure if anyone said this already but UND released their schedule and they will be coming to lynah November 1-2. BU also had their schedule released and there is no trip to lynah that I expected in return for us playing at Agganis a couple years back.
We are also at sacred heart January 10-11.

There are already enough seats for all the Cornell fans who want tickets. The difference would be that instead of BU fans, there would be empty seats.

Notre Dame. Battle of the retiring legends.
ASU's site says its RMU, Cornell and UMass down in Tempe Jan 3/4 2025.
https://thesundevils.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/schedule/2024-25
tough bus trip. Out to Tempe and then on to Robbie Morris after the holidays.
its a tournament. 4 schools at Tempe. Sorry that i was unclear.
The only opponents that would sell enough tickets to make a profit are the Big 10 schools, BU, BC, maybe a few other Hockey East schools like UConn, and North Dakota.

The only way UConn fans show up is to tell them it's a basketball game or something with former Whalers. Their new campus arena seats all of 2600, so even the administration knows they don't care.

And they were a top 5 team at the time (and not for much longer).
If we're 70% of the building for BU we can be 98% of the building for NMU.

Yes. There seems to be a disconnect here. Cornell's attendance at MSG is impressive, but the games are not full sellouts. Cornell has capped out its ticket sales. The question is how to fill the remaining 6,000-8,000 seats that aren't Cornell fans. These small schools in the Midwest with no alumni base in NYC aren't going to fill enough seats. This event isn't going to be run unless it turns a profit.

It just depends on how big a profit you want to make. Say it costs $500,000 to rent MSG and pay arena staff for a night. (I have no idea if that's close to the actual cost, but it's a nice round number to play with.) And then say another $100,000 for travel/lodging expense for both teams. (which might be high? I have no idea.) If you draw 10,000 who spend an average of $70, you're turning a profit, and closer to 13,000 or 15,000 is pretty good.
EDIT: Random question for any tax pros: Can MSG offer reduced rental costs to a non-profit like Cornell and write that off? Then that might change the math quite a bit.

i think it can make a more modest profit in the off years as long as it keeps packing the building against BU, which it basically does. That said, the building is more fun when the opposing team's fans are lively. I've seen Green Bay Packers bars in NYC; bringing in Wisconsin would be awesome. I know this contradicts my first message but I contain multitudes because I have the space.
My completely random guess that would make for a fun game is Notre Dame.

I wonder if Minnesota would be a draw.
Edit: specifically U of Minnesota. I'll leave speculation about the likelihood of Minnesota State Mankato or U Minnesota Duluth grads to wind up in NYC to others.
BC could be excellent, as would Michigan or MSU.
There are very good teams further west (e.g., Denver), but how well would they travel to NYC on Thanksgiving weekend?
why would it cost 100K to send Cornell to the game. 20 rooms at $500 a night would only be 10K. a few meals isn't costing that much, Are they staying 2 nights? Cornell busses down so that isn't all that much. It would be hard to ring up 5Ok in cost for BU and Cornell so 100K total maybe.

Minnesota would be a huge draw. All of the big midwest flagship schools send a ton of kids to NYC, not even including the kids from here that go there for college.

Yeah, my estimate of $100K was the rough total for 2 nights for two teams, but maybe they go back to campus right after the game. And I figure the traveling parties are bigger for the MSG game than a usual game when you throw in some university bigwigs, etc.
Quote from: WederIt just depends on how big a profit you want to make.
Profits from ticket sales aren't the only metric that should be considered. There are tons of alumni in the NY metropolitan that reconnect at MSG and it's great exposure for Cornell. I have to think it factors into recruiting as well.

Minnesota and Wisconsin both travel very well. I don't know about the Minnesota Variants.
traveling well within the school footprint or for NCAA games is different than traveling for a mid season game on a holiday weekend.
Quote from: upprdecktraveling well within the school footprint or for NCAA games is different than traveling for a mid season game on a holiday weekend.
Perhaps, but they're fanatics, and MSG would be a novel experience.
If you just want to fill the building, get LIU. I would like to see us play storied teams: CC, Denver, NoDak, Minny, Wisco, Michigan, BC. And we can use MSG as Lynah South to attract them. Nobody has a better claim on the building than we do. What I wouldn't give for hosting a holiday tournament there, and then co-hosting one in Lake Placid with Clarkson by leveraging our essentially sibling relationship with them at this point.
MSG is cool, but there a ton of people I know that won't go because it's a holiday weekend. flying and hotels goes way up that weekend. Local alums enjoy it for sure.

Could add an LIU series at the UBS Arena (new Islanders rink), similar to the game at Prudential Center (Devils) a few years back. Would be great for LIU's program too.

tUMD would be a good opponent, between their three recent NCAA titles, and fans who, at least 20 years ago, were a lot of fun. I don't know about numbers, though.

It's happened before, as recently as 2018 vs. Harvard. It's a non-conference game for purposes of ECAC standings, but it'll still count for PWR, and as much as we don't love it, Quinnipiac is currently high-end.

Good to see a quality opponent, local (and very successful) probably means a sellout. Risk of losing is high, so that'll be a tense leadup but... an ECAC opponent is kinda disappointing. I will be there happily all the same. It's not like I go to CT to see them play Quinny anyway.
Quote from: arugulaWhy a league opponent? Does this mean that they really couldn't get a high end non-league opponent to play a game at MSG? Hard to believe
Whatever the reason, playing a league opponents sounds like "No quality opponent want to play us / had free time on the schedule to play Cornell."
Playing at Madison Square Garden is a big deal for the team that plays Cornell, it's a big deal if the school has a big alumni body near metro New York, there is always the chance our opponent will come in rated higher and lose."

IMHO, Q is an opponent that's best categorized as a low-academic factory school. (Obligatory disclaimer: I'm sure there are some very good programs and some excellent student nonetheless.) I'd prefer not to give them the prestige and legitimacy that comes with meeting us in MSG, alternating with the likes of BU.

Knkwi little about why this is the opponent, Q is the type of school that will come out of pocket to get on SNY and was likely willing to eat financial risk in this game to a higher degree than other potential teams. They will market it to death too.
I'd still rather see almost any other opponent there.
Isn't one of the reasons Coach likes the msg games is that it gives the team the big arena, high energy experience that they'd face if they get to the FF? Pretty sure I read that somewhere.
From that perspective, get the best opponent available that will also follow seats. If we couldn't land anyone else this year, Quinny fits the bill.
Quote from: SwampyQuote from: RichHQuote from: BeeeejJust got a message from Ticketmaster that Frozen Apple tickets go on sale tomorrow - Cornell vs. Quinnipiac. Ugh.
I'd rather skip a year than this
Yeah. I would have preferred Clarkson.
IMHO, Q is an opponent that's best categorized as a low-academic factory school. (Obligatory disclaimer: I'm sure there are some very good programs and some excellent student nonetheless.) I'd prefer not to give them the prestige and legitimacy that comes with meeting us in MSG, alternating with the likes of BU.
Clarkson would have brought like 1,000 fans. I don't think they are/were a realistic option.

I agree. Really no other team could have been scheduled than one on our own conference? I'd have assumed this annual game is booked years out. What happened?
Oops
Full schedule supposedly out tomorrow.
Too bad the Michigan-Ohio state football game always falls on the same day (I'm 98% certain anyway). One of those teams could probably help us fill up MSG if their fans weren't preoccupied with "the game".
Sorry if this has been mentioned before (it probably has). Although we did play Michigan one year. How was that turnout in regards to Wolverine fans?
Couldn't even get LIU for that day?
Full Schedule is out. (https://cornellbigred.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/schedule)

We open with a home scrimmage against Princeton. I wonder how that came to be :-)
Excited for the season, but this feels like a very weak and insular schedule.
It is weak, especially after the ND weekend but man those games are gonna be a blast.
The "weakness" of the schedule is a reflection of our league as a whole. For our limited out of conference games, We know UND is a top 5-10 program coming into the season, UMASS is always a threat to make the NCAAs, and if we were to play ASU they are on the cusp of the top 20. While Sacred Heart aren't world beaters, they are one of the better Atlantic Hockey programs we could play. I guess the argument could be made we should have looked for another Hockey East team in place of Sacred Heart, but to me that's no big deal.

Mike Schafer may be thinking about the good of college hockey, helping teams in the league and in the Northeast. Sacred Heart just opened a fabulous $70 million arena (cost = $195,000 per seat (3,600 capacity)), wants to move up, Schafer says okay, we'll play you for the good of the game. And maybe some appearance money? And it's during inter-session, so it's a decently short drive for metro NY / Connecticut students bored being at home.
The arena is so good there's a
thirteen-minute video on YouTube. What they had to say wouldn't, I guess, fit in a TikTok. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIiWzyDdQSY
I'd gripe less about this SHU match being a wasted chance to play a ranked OOC opponent. I feel worse about the MSG Thanksgiving slot going to a league opponent.

I have no problem with playing a team like Sacred Heart, it's the MSG Game that gets my goat. I think the games should be spread to as many other conferences as possible. The warm up against Princeton is weird outside the lens of Ben Syer. I guess with a short Ivy schedule, the overseas trip and any other factors unseen, It looks weak from the outside. The pressure of needing to play nearly perfect to crack the NCAAs is a lot. I'd love to see the big one for Coach Schafer on the way out.
When I think about the MSG game, I always come back to the paradigm that the western schools almost always play two games in a weekend to defray the travel costs. I suspect that may be part of the problem in getting anybody from the west.

Excellent point. Maybe go back to the "holiday tournament" model. On Friday Cornell + a team from Hockey East play teams from the B10 & NCHC. On Saturday, G1 winners play winners & G1 losers play losers. Given the strength of the conferences, there really won't be any losers from the standpoint of strength-of-schedule.
Alternatively, have 3 strong eastern school + 1 western invite, and still play 2 games during the weekend. I don't know how well we'd fill MSG, but maybe play Friday night in Barclay's & Saturday in MSG.

I think another problem is getting MSG for two consecutive nights. The Knicks and Rangers would have priority, but who knows what else is scheduled there during that season.
Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82I think another problem is getting MSG for two consecutive nights. The Knicks and Rangers would have priority, but who knows what else is scheduled there during that season.
Exactly that. Although one of the teams could play a Saturday afternoon game. It takes 2-3 hours to switch a big arena from basketball to hockey.
More of a problem is two-night attendance. A lot of Cornellians (and fans from the other team) would happily make it to
one NYC night out, especially metro-NYC students who have seen enough of their family by Saturday. Not every casual fan would do it two nights in a row. And there's the cost of going for two nights. And the thinner crowds the second night if there's only a championship but not third-place game.
The cost to rent MSG for an event is around a quarter-million dollars (equal to $14 a person assuming every seat is filled). (Some online sources say rental cost can be 100K-$500K depending on type of event.) For the lofty ticket prices charged for college hockey at MSG, one could probably handle airfares for at least one remote team if it's a four-team tourney.
Next time Nicki Moore does an open Q&A, ask her why Cornell has such a mixed bag of opponents on Big Apple years vs. BU on Red Hot Hockey years. Help me here, how many top-ten, certainly two-twenty hockey teams, non-ECAC, have a strong NYC alumni presence so it works for both schools. Here's a dozen that are not Quinnipiac:
BC
UConn
UMass
Maine?
UNH?
Providence?
Michigan
Penn State
Ohio State
Wisconsin
Notre Dame
Minnesota?
Other than BU, Cornell has played:
Michigan
Penn State
UNH
Harvard
U-Conn

Are there any in-season tourneys where each team doesn't play a second game? I doubt anyone is happy to play one fewer game than the NCAA (or a league) allows.

Quote from: Cornell PRThis year's Frozen Apple game will be the sixth in the biennial series that dates back to the first contest in 2012 against Michigan, which was a 5-1 triumph for the Big Red. Cornell also defeated Penn State, 3-1, in 2014, New Hampshire, 3-1, in 2016, and UConn in 2022. The lone setback for Cornell in a Frozen Apple contest was against Harvard, 4-1, in 2018. [No 2020 game]
I don't like the Quinnipiac matchup either. But most Cornell alums aren't really going to care—the vast majority of casual Cornell hockey fans who just want an excuse to attend a big and exciting alumni event. Quinnipiac at least should bring some fans out, and that's what matters most when schools are forking over a bunch of money to rent out MSG. I do wonder why other eastern schools like BC (apparently) aren't interested.
Quinnipiac should be quite good again this season, having brought in another large and successful class of mercenaries who bolted from other schools, as well as a few strong freshmen.
BC, Michigan, and Penn State are the obvious ones for me. Large NYC alumni bases, not too far away. So not sure why BC is the lone holdout. Boston provincialism? They play at the the real "Gah-den" all the time.
I'm not surprised by the hate for the Q game but I like it.
I hate Q; they're the Atlanta Braves. But I want to solidify the rank ordering that the ECAC is Cornell and Quinnipiac / Huge Gap / Who cares?
And I believe our coaches are smarter and the more we play them the more we will figure out how to beat them in Lake Placid and then wherever.

The 2010 game against Colgate at the Prudential Center does not count, though it was Saturday evening of Thanksgiving weekend.
Cornell-Colgate Thanksgiving Saturday 2010 at the Prudential Center was
* a fabulously exiting game, Cornell coming from 3-1 down entering the third to earn a 4-3 regulation win
* a kind of sleepy atmosphere, the place more than two-thirds empty, 5,413 fans in a rink that held 17,625 at the time (and which has since been downsized to 16,592 in 2013 and two years late to 16,514).
Apropos of our playing another ECAC team, Quinnipiac, in a Frozen Apple MSG game, is the low Colgate/Prudential Center attendance significant because they're a same-league team we play twice a year in the RS .. Colgate was en route to an 11-28-1 season in 2010 and 2-8-1 going into the PruCenter game ... or because the game was played on the wrong side of the Hudson?
Gad, this Saul Steinberg New Yorker cover is coming up on 50 years old.

Princeton has already indicated when hockey game tickets will be available for sale and some other schools in the conference are offering season tickets for purchase. Nothing from Harvard as of yet, oddly enough.
I believe the Harvard single game tickets go on sale October 1st, I haven't seen any of the stupid package deals mentioned this year, just season tickets or single games thus far ::fingers crossed::
I thought they already said the Harv tickets were a 2 game buy?
or do you mean away tickets?
Single-game tickets for Q home games went on sale this morning (https://gobobcats.evenue.net/events/MHSI). The local Cornell Club usually gets a block of tickets as well. I expect Q will sell out most of their home games again.

Well shit... We got presale access to the away Harvard Cornell game and all they have is standing room only available, $180 for 4 standing room tickets. I called to check and yep, that's it. They do not anticipate having seats available when they go on general sale.
Fuck harvard
Tickets for the game at Princeton are going fast. And as the above poster said, no seated tickets for Harvard. They really dropped the ball this year
When I called the Harvard ticket office last month, they told me tickets for the Cornell game would go on sale at 10 a.m. on Oct. 1, and that's what their website said when I checked it again last week. As noted above, the only tickets they are selling now are standing room tickets for $40 apiece (not including any service charges).
Harvard sucks even more than usual!
Nice spelling by Harvard on its website:
Due to unprecedented presale demand, only Stading Room tickets are available for this game. If you are intersted in lower bowl seating, Flex Plans are still available by calling 617-495-2211.
Just got two tickets for at Princeton. Going very fast.
Actually called. Website is ng.
And it looks like at Yale goes onsale at precisely the same moment as the UND weekend at Lynah.
Quote from: dbilmesWhen I called the Harvard ticket office last month, they told me tickets for the Cornell game would go on sale at 10 a.m. on Oct. 1, and that's what their website said when I checked it again last week. As noted above, the only tickets they are selling now are standing room tickets for $40 apiece (not including any service charges).

"Unprecedented" my ass, Harvard. We do this and go through this every single year. As usual you'll have hundreds of SRO ticket-holders and see a 40% full bowl on the home side.
Anyone have any insider info./hints/clues as to who our OOC opponents may be next season? Assume BU at MSG is on as usual...
Quote from: billhowardCornell-Colgate Thanksgiving Saturday 2010 at the Prudential Center was
* a fabulously exiting game, Cornell coming from 3-1 down entering the third to earn a 4-3 regulation win
* a kind of sleepy atmosphere, the place more than two-thirds empty, 5,413 fans in a rink that held 17,625 at the time (and which has since been downsized to 16,592 in 2013 and two years late to 16,514).
Apropos of our playing another ECAC team, Quinnipiac, in a Frozen Apple MSG game, is the low Colgate/Prudential Center attendance significant because they're a same-league team we play twice a year in the RS .. Colgate was en route to an 11-28-1 season in 2010 and 2-8-1 going into the PruCenter game ... or because the game was played on the wrong side of the Hudson?
Gad, this Saul Steinberg New Yorker cover is coming up on 50 years old.
I was at this game! Was is that long ago, must be getting older sigh...
