Title: Ivy 2026
Post by: Trotsky on January 23, 2026, 10:45:03 PM
I am well aware not everybody cares, but I do.  Cornell put themselves in the driver's seat (http://www.tbrw.info/?/weekly_Updates/ivy_2026.html) tonight.

Everyone should care! There's a reason they hang Ivy Championship banners in Lynah.

I actually care more about this than I do about the ECAC standings other than finishing in the top 4 for a bye

Lest it be forgotten going into tomorrow, we are currently tied (http://www.tbrw.info/?/ivy_History/ivy_Champs_by_Team.htm) with the Cantab cockroaches.  By year (http://www.tbrw.info/?/ivy_History/ivy_ChampsIcon.htm).

Harvard's hockey media guide credits themselves with 24 Ivy League titles. They list league champions all the way back to 1933-34 but don't appear to count titles before the official creation of the league. I suspect they aren't counting 1954 and 1955. While the Ivy Group Agreement was extended to all sports in 1954 the league website says 1956-57 is the first year of official competition (which would make one think Harvard's 1955-56 title shouldn't count either). FWIW Harvard's media guide credits Cornell with only 25 hockey titles and appears to be missing the shared title of 1983.

According to my and Trots's perusal:

Cornell is in the driver's seat to win the Ivy title. Three points against Princeton gets the job done.

If less than 3 points, Dartmouth has the chance to sweep the rest of their slate (@HVD, @YAL, @BRN, PRN) and beat us on tiebreak.

I thought Ivy titles were shared? So tiebreak doesn't come into play?

As far as I remember, the Ivy League does not apply tiebreakers to league titles. If two teams have the same record, they share the title regardless of head to head results. I assume this applies to hockey, even in the "derp points" era. Tiebreakers do apply for seeding in the case of a postseason tournament.

Yeah, I think we shared a title a few years back, no?

I remember that in 2023 we won the Ivy League on points (25-24) with fewer "wins" than Harvard. We were 8-2 while they were 9-1 with three OT wins. Their fan on USCHO was a bit salty.

They do get tons of marauding rink rats in Meehan.  Much like Achilles' gavroches (https://ageofrevolutions.com/2017/08/07/child-gangs-and-motherly-duty-at-the-onset-of-revolution/) and Appleton's werewolf children.
