Now or never for first place.
Does anyone know if walk up tickets are normally available for this game?
I'll be in Boston for a family event and was thinking of possibly catching this one if I can break away.

I was startled to see very few tickets available as of yesterday. There is plenty of SRO space so I would guess they are pretty willing to take anyone's money.
I feel this is the case for many years at QU. It seems like the student section is growing and more reliable as far as actually coming to the games. Tickets are always at a premium, yet we get there and there are lots of empty seats. Whether it's traffic (the dreaded parking garage) or dinner delays, it always feels partially empty, and doesn't always fill in. Townies don't always care who the opponent is, sound familiar?
I'm dreading the game and reconsidering wearing a bright red uniform. Another long road trip, a slumping, tired looking squad, and just the opposite from the hosts. Could spell disaster! Maybe we can regroup and CJ can wake us up. Playing a top 5 team is a rare opportunity.

Watch the first 2 periods of the Q-Pak Princeton game at Hobey. Q-Pak is absolutely beatable. Yes we have been skating like we are dragging a piano up Libe Slope. However, if we play our game, our best game, we can win this.
Cloak your body in red!
We owe those goons a strong ass-kicking on Friday! LGR!
Q is closing in on its fifth straight ECAC 1-seed and has three NCAA finals and one national championship since the last time we've been to a frozen four. Notably they recruit much smaller players than we do, with almost all of their best players at 5'8, 5'9, or 5'10. They also abuse the rules by loading up on fifth-year players (when that was a thing), transfers, CHL players, and former pros. It is often cited on this forum that they have no academic requirements, but that's also true of about 55 other teams in Division 1 hockey including many other teams in our conference. Essentially, they've surpassed us by doing things totally differently from us.
This year, they have far more injuries than we do but haven't lost a step. A tie would be a great outcome.

We're not going to have a chance against Q if we play like we did in the Capital Region, where over the two weekend games we had 61 shots on goal and scored on two of them. No team is going to win many games scoring on only 3 percent of their SOG.

Some of their better defensive players are returning this weekend, so they'll be closer to full strength

It's actually bodes much better for future games if you put 61 shots on goal and score only 3 times than if you put 31 shots on goal and score only 3 times.

Could just mean the SOGs are low danger...
Today in the New York Post there was an article about Q's Ethan Wyttenbach, currently leading the nation in scoring. Standard local boy makes good profile except one thing. The article said that his uncle and father played for Cornell in the mid 90s. I could find no trace of them although Dad has it on his LinkedIn. Anyone from that era have any memory of a Wyttenbach? Perhaps the Jimmy Rayhill of the 90s.
Also any idea if we tried to recruit the lad? Beniers was one that really pissed me off. Two parents from Cornell.

I think we talked about this a few days ago and it was determined they played for the non-varsity/club/JV? team?

The dad's LinkedIn specifically mentions "varsity ice hockey" under his Cornell accomplishments. Maybe he was on the practice squad, but not officially on the roster?

No Wyttenbach has ever played for Cornell. Likewise, there is no age appropriate Wyttenbach in Elite Prospects.
Either the Post is in error (well I never!) or they (and dad) are exaggerating something like a frat league.

Varsity intramurals.
In the Post article, the dad is quoted as saying something about having to compete for a spot against "20 Canadians from the farm." Sounds like he may have been recruited but never made the team?

Hey now. I have played varsity intramurals. Lifetime stats: 1 GP 0-4-4 2 PIM.
Don't get excited, we won 17-8. The penalty was for high sticking and it was a fair cop.
Not bad for a 155 lb American who couldn't skate backwards.
Anyone know if we tried to recruit him or too much of a rockhead?
The weekly Casey is out, for those who get it. Much appreciated, good messaging as always.

"Who's Your Daddy? clap clap, clap clap clap"
Marc, Robert and Andrew Wyttenbach all played junior-varsity hockey for Cornell from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, until the JV program was disbanded, having outlived its usefulness. I spent way too many Saturday and Sunday mornings at those games, as official scorer, PA announcer, or both. My records of those times are no longer in my possession, having contributed 40 boxes of material to the University Archives when I downsized about 5 1/2 years ago, but they are available for reference in the reading room in the basement of Olin Library.
Some JV facts: Schafer coached the JV team as part of his job as assistant coach right after he graduated. Tony Eisenhut, the analyst on the ESPN+ broadcasts, was a JV player.

Thanks. So what
was the purpose of the JV team? Did players bounce around between JV and varsity? Did JV players get recruited just as varsity players did, or were they (mostly?) walk-ons? Seems unlikely that 3 different Wyttenbachs would all play JV but not a minute of varsity. Maybe they have sour grapes from never making it.

Largely it's that freshmen weren't eligible to play varsity for a long time, but obviously it wasn't only that.

I know the way basketball worked was that the JV was walk ons and they would practice every day at like 6 am, but then when games happened, the scrubs from the varsity would take most of the game time. Obviously in hockey playing time works differently, but I suspect it would be the guys who were end of bench or healthy scratches getting some of the JV time and then a lot of walk ons to serve as practice bodies.

By the time the Wyttenbachs were on campus though, freshmen had been varsity-eligible for 15-20 years.

Yes, hence the "obviously." But I believe it's the main reason the team existed in the first place.

In the 1989-90 season, IIRC, star frosh Ryan Hughes was roommates with fellow frosh Russ Hammond in one of the u-halls; Hammond bounced between the JV and varsity for a couple of years before breaking into the lineup.

One issue that always bothered me was that the coaches when recruiting seemed to have to lie to recruits as far as their likelihood of playing on the team after Freshman year. I knew 3 or 4 players who hardly played. The team was loaded with talent - Gary Meagher and Mike Quinn were the two I knew that certainly expected to play and didn't quite have enough to make the '71-'72 and '72-'73 teams. I am not sure if they graduated partly because our fraternity disbanded in bankruptcy.
To field an almost full Freshman team each year was not trivial. But it apparently couldn't have been an issue with these JV players due to the time frame.
Based on what Beeeej is writing here and what I remember, the JV included the Freshmen recruits.......

I went to the U. of Rochester for grad school in 96-97, and went to a school-promoted (on their official athletics schedule) game between U of R and Cornell. The only two things I remember are 1) noting that there was a lot of fighting and 2) trying to figure out if it was a JV team or a club team from Cornell. This seems it was around time that the JV squad was discontinued.

Am I correct somebody actually made the jump to varsity and became a significant contributor in the mid 80s? My addled brain insists on Moeser or Natyshak but that can't possible be true. Major, maybe? Heaphy?

Thanks. So what was the purpose of the JV team? Did players bounce around between JV and varsity? Did JV players get recruited just as varsity players did, or were they (mostly?) walk-ons? Seems unlikely that 3 different Wyttenbachs would all play JV but not a minute of varsity. Maybe they have sour grapes from never making it.
I went to the U. of Rochester for grad school in 96-97, and went to a school-promoted (on their official athletics schedule) game between U of R and Cornell. The only two things I remember are 1) noting that there was a lot of fighting and 2) trying to figure out if it was a JV team or a club team from Cornell. This seems it was around time that the JV squad was discontinued.
Club team maybe? I played one season of Club at IC and the Cornell Club team crushed us when we played them. I also expect fights are more likely at that level
Fall of 85 a guy on my uhaul floor played JV. I recall that he was definitely a walkon and mentioned there were a number of walk-ons.
In the fall of '74 my roommate, who was from Darien, CT, tried out for the freshman/JV team (whatever it was back then) as a walk-on. Not surprisingly, the Canadian players who had been recruited all made the team. He did not.

Am I correct somebody actually made the jump to varsity and became a significant contributor in the mid 80s? My addled brain insists on Moeser or Natyshak but that can't possible be true. Major, maybe? Heaphy?
It wasn't Moeser. He was in my freshman seminar, and wrote about being on the (varsity) hockey team.

With nothing better to do this afternoon, I checked Q's IRS 990 to see how much they pay Pecker. In 2023, the most recent 990 available, he made $918k, second only to Q's president. Not bad for a former Division III player.

Gotta appreciate how much the Q fanbase hates on Cornell. Much more in the Lynah spirit than we would like to admit.

True. Beats Brown anyway.
I need someone to explain to me why Major is taking a faceoff with Walsh on the ice.
Holy fuck what a save.
We havent been as good at faceoff as most weekends, but I have a hard time believing the stat is Q with the 30 of 39 advantage
also zero penalties called so far makes me wonder if the officials have lost their whistles...

Bizarrely, NCAA Division I hockey players can maintain eligibility after playing in pro leagues if they were not compensated beyond "actual and necessary expenses" (meals, lodging, gear). Players must not have signed a professional contract or received a salary, focusing instead on amateur, expense-only agreements.

Theoretically we could have a guy in the NCAA who played in the NHL. The CHL allows players to go to the N as long as they stay under x number of game, 5 I think. And then we could have that CHL player return to his team and then go to college.

Recent NCAA rule changes and legal rulings have blurred the lines, with some players retaining eligibility after limited, and in rare cases extensive, ECHL/pro experience. Generally, playing under 10 professional games is considered safer for maintaining NCAA eligibility, but some players have received eligibility approval after playing full seasons in the ECHL and AHL.
Embarrass them.

If it happened in '82, it wasn't against the Deerticks. And given how we played in '82, I suspect there weren't any penalty free games.

Actually for a few minutes, we'd dropped to 11th (because Dartmouth's win went final before ours did).

Close but not quite. If Cornell goes 0-3 and Princeton goes 3-0, all in regulation, they tie for third, and the tiebreaker goes Princeton's way thanks to record against top 4.

Hockey is a funny game. We're one of the hottest teams in the country and then Quinnipiac comes and kicks our asses at our house. Then we have one of our worst weekends in years, before stomping them at their place, despite them bitching us in faceoffs which is one of our best areas of the game. Gotta keep this momentum going

According to this account, yup:
https://quchronicle.com/89589/featured/pecknold-schafer-write-one-last-chapter-in-storied-rivalry/
If memory serves that comment was because Rand targeted an Cornell player coming off an injury right at the injured point. Now, yes, if you send a guy out there he better be healthy enough to play. But that is still Oakland Raiders shit.
In our recent podcast with Rand - I asked him about Schafer, and he said nice things, and referred to this incident. I encourage a listen.
This (http://www.tbrw.info/reports/pdf/rpt_Games_vs_Top_5.pdf) seems very unlikely but it's late and I can't find the error.
tldr: 12-2-1 against top 5 opponents since the start of the 2018 season.
Also, this was our largest margin of victory over a top 5 team since at least 1983.
Inspiration for me to work all that earlier polling data (since 1970) throughout the site.

Yes, so far. Homer and Bart agree, too.
More Best Games to come.
I thought the team had a good balance of choosing to shoot/choosing to pass on its offensive zone opportunities. From the start of the season it seems there's been an attitude to not forego quality shots for an attempt a pass and that it was generally working for the team. But over the last few games when the team stuggled I thought the pendulum had swung too far and the team was just shooting, taking some low quality shots when a clear passing lane was there to a teammate that would have a much better chance of scoring.
Bearlover - what will you complain about?

OMG. That wasn't a win — that was absolute demolition of Q-Pak. A full-scale, no-survivors rout. You could hear the faint sound of the Bobcats Googling "transfer portal" by the third period.
First home loss of the season for Q-Pak!!!
Bravo to Casey and the staff — the boys were locked-in. Every minute of scouting paid off. We didn't just beat them; we wore them down physically, mentally, existentially.
Special shout-out to Cournoyer and the D — magnificent. It is NOT a casual task to bottle up the nation's highest-scoring forward. 🐻
Delicious.
Some miscellaneous observations from the rink last night.
Maybe I'm just getting older and crankier but Q keeps finding new ways to echl it up. It's a tiresome tone. I don't recall the PA guy being as bad in the past. Deliberately announcing the lineups in an exaggerated way and then similarly mumbling the Cornell goal announcements was just childish.
They made a point to recognize two Q alums with ties to hockey at the Olympics. Would have been nice to acknowledge the Cornellian medalists as well.
Credit where it's due, from 7:15-8:30 the Q students were present and engaged. Every "let's go red" was drowned out with "fuck cornell". But... At least they were there.
Once it filled in, that was probably the most filled I've ever seen that building.
I've seen Cornell get blown out in that building and it was a delight to watch it empty out halfway through the third and see the Cornell players very excited at the buzzer.
Someone please tell the band that "warm up the bus" doesn't make sense when Cornell is on the road. And also to just play Davy and not wait for permission all the damn time. The band sounded good when they played. The Q band sure was present.
I thought both teams did well to limit opposing zone time and possession. No crimebagging. It felt like Q iced the puck about fifteen times in the second half of the game just trying to get a break out going. I don't recall ever seeing them do that before.
Unlike many other games down there Cornell was winning puck battles and being very effective and disciplined with their sticks.
The first Major goal is the sort of thing it feels like Cornell has tried a thousand times and it almost never works.
On the Q goal, I think O'Brien had the puck carrier and it looked like he got caught between staying up and going down and it cost him.
Very impressed by the way Cornell played a full sixty against a good team. Teams are clearly closer than the score. Cornell looked to be having a practice in the game at over matched Yale. Last night they played at a high level all night and earned it.
Would you like to read Q reporting on the loss? (https://quchronicle.com/92561/featured/cornell-outscores-quinnipiac-6-1-in-a-top-two-ecac-match-up-hands-the-bobcats-first-home-loss-in-over-a-year/)

I like how they IMMEDIATELY blame Silverstein for the loss.
Also, Pecknold whining about not getting a powerplay. Lmao.
What a terrific game. None of the listlessness from last weekend at all. Cornell beat them up the ice all night. It was a brilliant flip of the script. They only played one bad period all season vs Quinnipiac (3rd period at Lynah). It's a nice reminder that they have a high ceiling. Balanced scoring throughout the lineup and great goaltending are a nice recipe. Finish the deal tonight or else is doesn't mean as much.
From what I read before the game, Q has been alternating goalies the past few weekends with Silverstein starting on Saturday night. It was Pecknold's decision to play him on Friday night this weekend, so he should get some of the blame as well!

It's not like Marinov would've been much better. Silverstein was really only had one bad goal against (the Ashton shot), and Q had some really egregious defensive breakdowns that resulted in prime scoring opportunities

Reasonably well-written, except the line about Wyttenbach:

Hi, Jane 😂 (https://x.com/i/status/2025310066979520866)
Yeah, it's "crazy" to have no power plays.
How about it's great that the players were so focused on playing their best against a high quality opponent that they played a clean game? Or did he want his guys to go to the sin bin? We could start the next Cornell-Quinnipiac game with giving Q a bench minor just to make him feel better.

Have Marinov pull a Yegorov 😂

i don't think it benefits Q to have the game called loosely. we can bang with the best of them. he'll happily take more penalties if he can get his snipers more time on the power play. glad pelosi was out yesterday. hope he's out the next time we play too.

We have three more years of this 😂
Q announcer came so, so close, but went for the poetic inversion:
"In deep is Hiscock...."
It's a game of inches.
Quote from: BearLover on February 18, 2026, 11:43:41 AMIn the Post article, the dad is quoted as saying something about having to compete for a spot against "20 Canadians from the farm." Sounds like he may have been recruited but never made the team?
LOL. Somebody posted a clip from the latest "Game Notes" podcast in which Ethan Wyttenbach was interviewed. The hosts straight up asked him why he didn't go to Cornell given the family history. Wyttenbach replied that from a young age his dad told him NOT to go there because it's for "a lot of big Canadians go there" and "that didn't fit my playstyle." As I surmised a few weeks ago, I guess his dad was bitter about never making varsity and blamed it on having to compete with "20 Canadians from the farm."
