Not shaping up as strong OOC
Quote from: arugula on May 20, 2026, 04:37:05 PMNot shaping up as strong OOC
I mean so far we have SHU, who are paying us back for our visit in 24-25, and Omaha, who we're paying back for our games last year. Again, I still think Omaha is a sneaky team that would be really good in a weaker conference, they just have the misfortune of playing in the NCHC. :')
I think we'll get one or two good OOC series to make up for it, though.

We should have at least one extra game this year, plus two more if they make a trip to Alaska. I'm curious about MSG this year. I hope they can get someone good for that one.
Was there rumours of us going up to Alaska?

Cornell has made a reciprocal trip to the home arena of most of the OOC teams that visit Lynah Rink. Since they played Alaska last season, it's possible that they will make a trip to The Last Frontier at some point. NCAA rules used to allow a team that traveled to Alaska to add two extra games to the already allowed max, to encourage teams to go up there, but I'm not sure if that still stands.

It does still stand. Whether the Ivy League allows that is a different story.

I haven't heard anything, but we owe them a visit. Whether that's this year or not, TBD. I don't see a great spot in the schedule for it - I'd have suggested the Jan 1/2 weekend, but that's likely Omaha.

I'm eagerly awaiting the Omaha announcement. I'll say this another dozen times, but for everyone who ever visits Omaha, go to the zoo.
I would think UMass will have a return visit to Lynah but maybe not this coming season since Cornell had two OOC home series last season and so I'd think they would go on the road for another OOC series to a team other than Omaha.
In (distant) past years I would be able to get the non-travel partner part of the ECAC schedule the fall before the season. And I was allowed to post it around January 1.
But with the new administration that has not been possible,
I've sent another email to see if it might have changed.
Note that my "count" has 29 games already, not counting exhibition or scrimmage. I truthfully can't recall how many regular season games the Ivies are allowed to play - I think we upped it to 30? Maybe? With exhibition?

It's 30 regular season, but was part of the deal that you are limited to no more than 1 exhibition? (I think that was the speculation on why Cornell played 29 last season -- because they wanted the 2nd exhibition?)

they played 29 last year because they didn't have time to schedule another game. not sure if exhibition amount has been changed. two separate issues I believe.

Alaska also came to Ithaca in 21-22 so who knows whether we reciprocate them considering that they spend an insane amount of time travelling anyway.

Nothing on MSG's website yet. Occasionally they have it before anyone else, though probably not intentionally on Cornell's part.

I'm going to assume that home weekend will be in October when the students are around since the Omaha away series is in January and the team started on the road last year at UMass. I'm surprised it isn't a UMass reciprocal visit but I'll take a rare BU visit to Lynah.

Sacred Heart's hockey schedule is out and they're at Lynah 10/30-31, which would mean BU/Merrimack is likely in January. Huge missed opportunity there if so unless that series is in December, which I doubt it will be.

You folks should get an allocation once the game is publicly announced. I'm sure Maine's atheletics department will share ticketing details in the official communications. As with any event at MSG, it's ultimately through the venue but tickets aren't hard to get.

For reference, I got my student tickets about 3 days before the event... Maine will be a tough sell, so tickets should be available.
Can anyone get me an official source on the BU, Merrimack, and Maine games?

Purchased through MSG but Maine will have a code that allows you to purchase tickets in one of the Black Bears sections.

Coach Casey told me.
"Coach Casey told me"
We got people with sources! Who are 'ya, Snowball?
No, sorry to disappoint you but no Deep Throat in the hockey office. Coach Casey couldn't pick me out of a lineup. My daughter's at Cornell for an MEng, and I did run into Casey during Reunion weekend and chatted with him for a bit. Super friendly guy and so upbeat. That Canadian charm...
That said, I do have a friend-of-a-friend local connection to the program, so every now and then a small nugget of information drifts my way.
Actually I just remembered an interesting thing he told a group of us - hockey practice was changed to the mornings before classes, I think he said 7. He says it works much better for the team with their academics. Oh yeah and he or Schaefer said that they thought the team with the new additions was going to be deeper than last year. So a lot to look forward to! Go Big Red.

I met Casey at last year's reunion, and he couldn't have been nicer or more upbeat. A great man to lead our program.

Better to be on the road in early 2027 than for the whole second half of the year like 2026.

Yeah, my post was more in response to Trotsky's comment about road trips. It's basically the opposite of last season where the majority of games in January were at home.
Thanks for the schedule. Looking forward to the season!

Still missing confirmation for Frozen Apple (Maine) as well as Dec 4/5 weekend (BU/Merrimack iirc). At 7 OOC games.
In favor of there being a 2026 Frozen Apple (ie even-year) MSG game: There is nothing else scheduled at MSG for Thanksgiving Saturday (if you see the Rockettes, unclick all the MSG properties until you only have the MSG main arena).

Trying to think of how many times a Home & Home stretches beyond back to back years to H&H over three years and, if ever, over 4 years. There has to be an agreement at least between coaches / athletic directors that the teams play at both schools.
So am confused, are there any more OOC games to be announced yet for this season
besides SHU & BU/Merrimack at Lynah, Maine at MSG and the two at Omaha or not?
Anyways, #roadtoDC starts now! LGR

I'm still waiting on BU, Merrimack, and Maine confirmation.
I don't think there are any more OOC games this year - there isn't a gap on the schedule for 'em. Unless we play one game the week before SHU?

I can confirm from a reliable UMaine hockey source that they will play in the Frozen Apple this year. Although I do not have a date I assume the traditional...
If you figure 2 exhibition games in October before the 2 against Sacred Heart, then add in the pair against Merrimack and BU, plus the 11 on the schedule already, that's 17 home games. which is the usual not including possible quarterfinal hosting. So add in Maine, the pair at Omaha and that probably rounds it out.
BU at Lynah Dec 4 confirmed. (https://x.com/i/status/2067673833415324153)

When was the last time the final games before winter break were non conference? Those are usually ECAC games that first weekend in December.

I think the last time was Denver at home several years ago. It was bound to happen again at some point given when matches usually occur with some teams

probably because its my first year with the full season tickets thing but I am very excited about this season. Plus my kid is an incoming student. and the home games are well-spaced. it will be a fun year.

I don't know about anyone else but I don't go to the games to watch the opponent play. Senior night is special regardless of the opponent or result for that matter. Come to all of the games!!

I think a lot of people are only able to come for say, 3 weekends a year - with that in perspective, it makes sense you might want to choose an opponent that's more entertaining, like BU.

Location. Colgate/Cornell as a pair is very common. Iirc BU is doing Cornell/Colgate (https://goterriers.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/schedule/2026-27) that weekend too, so it makes sense.
Updated and did a little color coding to boot.
Would anyone be opposed to me putting the game results into the schedule like, by the Wednesday after each game weekend?
2 games VS NCHC
3 games VS AHA
2 games VS Hockey East
Did I miss any? Not shabby, but I would have liked to see one B1G 10 or CCHA game. Alas, only so many OCCs to spread around.

Plus, B1G and CCHA are harder for travel more generally.
Not too bad of an OOC schedule. Personally I'm pleased we do our first weekend against SHU - since we're Classically Behind On Games Played, a (generally) weak opponent to start will be nice instead of walking ass backwards into UMass or some shit.
BU is awesome, UMaine will be great too. Omaha ofc we pay them back, RIT is a tradition it feels like.

Merrimack bailed out on the game for unclear reasons that didn't make anyone happy. So I doubt they're scheduled for anything at the moment.

I would love if we scheduled RIT more often. Their student section could go up against the best of the east in terms of passion and creativity, honestly. BU, UNH, Maine, Vermont, Clarkson, RPI, and us.

Hrm. That's even stranger then. I mean, I guess RIT is close enough that you don't necessarily have to bundle.
Did they have any game scheduled on that Dec 5 slot before? I assume not, but...
I'd heard UMass was supposed to join BU in playing both teams but that obviously fell apart awhile ago.

Yep, sounds like it's Maine for sure, but I'm not confirming it in our schedule until Maine or Cornell does.
I also did mark the doubleheaders with the women's team (that we know of). If you're planning to come to the men's game that day, would highly recommend doubleheading it. Heck of a good time.
Always use protection when doubleheading it!

Got the official notice today from Racker that there will not be a game this year. The plan going forward is to play a game every odd year, and have some other type of fundraising event in even years. This year's event is called "Racker's Day in the Park", scheduled for Saturday, August 29 from noon to 3pm at Stewart Park.

Being facetious. Mostly.
Puck drop at 12, doors open at 11.

But that's two nights in a hotel, which is a lot of money I don't exactly need to be spending, especially because hotels run $150 minimum... and then the bus TO NYC is cheap ($25) but the one back is like $65, so we're at $400 already, and then tickets, and then feeding and watering and such... gaaah.

25-30 years ago, Shortline/CoachUSA used to offer an Ithaca-NYC bus that left around 4:30am and got into Port Authority sometime around 9-10am. It was a great way to do a full day in the city without an overnight stay anywhere. Sadly, I don't think they run this schedule anymore.
A charter to MSG?
There is the Big Red bus aka C2C but it is not yet showing the late-November schedule. The earlier November schedule shows a 9:45 am Saturday bus but not the 5:45 am departure that is available weekdays.
President Trump on Monday signed orders that would impose a 50 percent tariff on a wide range of Canadian goods, claiming that Canada had discriminated against the United States in key markets.
U.S. officials said the tariffs would be imposed on products ranging from wine to hockey sticks to cement and would go into effect in 30 days. The officials said the tariffs were punishment for Canadian discrimination in three industries: motor vehicles, dairy and alcohol.

Even if you leave 5:45, you get to NYC at 10, 10:30. Get to MSG, watch the game, then go 5 hours on bus back home the same day 😭
An e-mail just went out for the game against Maine. 12 PM start on Saturday. It'll probably be nice for the guys to get back to Ithaca at a reasonable hour but definitely makes me question when they'd have alumni events.

Totally irrelevant to today's situation, but in the 1950's my father would board a sleeper car in Ithaca in the evening. Around midnight the Black Diamond from Buffalo would stop, add the car to the train, and continue on to New York where he would awake in the morning. IIRC, the return trip brought him home in the late afternoon, so he must have spent the night in NYC.

"Puck drop set for noon" so they hate me personally, okay 👍
Being facetious. Mostly.
Puck drop at 12, doors open at 11. Means I have to be in NYC by like, 9 am, and leave my stuff somewhere... so that means I have to come in on the 27th and leave the 28th... but that IS the Calgary game... so maybe try to get cheap seats for that (LMAO it's MSG let's be real here) and leave the 29th? But that's two nights in a hotel, which is a lot of money I don't exactly need to be spending, especially because hotels run $150 minimum... and then the bus TO NYC is cheap ($25) but the one back is like $65, so we're at $400 already, and then tickets, and then feeding and watering and such... gaaah.
Guh. I'll have to think about this way more in depth.
25-30 years ago, Shortline/CoachUSA used to offer an Ithaca-NYC bus that left around 4:30am and got into Port Authority sometime around 9-10am. It was a great way to do a full day in the city without an overnight stay anywhere. Sadly, I don't think they run this schedule anymore.
Totally irrelevant to today's situation, but in the 1950's my father would board a sleeper car in Ithaca in the evening. Around midnight the Black Diamond from Buffalo would stop, add the car to the train, and continue on to New York where he would awake in the morning.

Imagine a train in Ithaca... 😭😭😭

Passenger train service ended in 1959. It was a big deal in its day.
Quote from: David HardingPassenger train service ended in 1959. It was a big deal in its day.
Not quite. The "Black Diamond" route and all other Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western routes that had served Ithaca off and on ended in May, 1959. Two weeks after the last Black Diamond, the "Maple Leaf," a nighttime Toronto-NYC route that was a Lehigh Valley Railroad / Canadian National Railway joint venture, added Ithaca as a stop to absorb the demand. The Maple Leaf discontinued in February, 1961, finally ending passenger train service in Ithaca.
(ETA: I only knew the basics of the above because my Mom & Dad, Helen '62 and Paul '60 - Brooklynites both - each traveled to Cornell and back by train on a regular basis for most of their time as undergrads.)

Omaha is a decent team in a BRUTAL league. Idk how much they'll do for our RPI either way.

Over the Chirstmas [Winter] Break Coach Jones will be Assistant Coach for the U.S. Collegiate Selects in the Spangler Cup in Davos, Switzerland. (Mike Sousa of UNH is Head Coach and Scott Sandelin of Minnesota Duluth is the other Assistant.)
That's a little tight for the early January Omaha game . . . but maybe promises adding UNH and UMD to the schedule. I would love to see us play UMD in the Frozen Apple.

You're in the Law School, right?
3 Dec -- instruction ends
4-6 Dec -- reading period
7 Dec -- finals begin
For the rest of the University that is still classes, which end 15 December. I think there is a rule against playing (any sport) during finals.

I recall Walsh's travelogue getting back from Davos for the Omaha series last year...
Assuming they make the finals (12/31), it's unlikely they travel home the same day unless they do it by a private jet.
Recall last year, our Omaha series was the 2nd and 3rd. This gave them the leeway to take off on the 1st for the intl flight and then the 2nd do the regional flights. Walsh got back to Ithaca at like, 3:30 pm the day of the Omaha series, as per McNally. I've heard it was even thornier than that 😅
Assuming similar, that they would fly most likely from Zurich on the 1st of January, I don't see a way Casey would get to Omaha for the Jan 1st game. Jan 2nd, sure, but Jan 1st we'll likely see an assistant take the reins.
Hey, Coach, if you're reading this, here are your best bets:
SkyTeam (Delta):
6:50 AM ZRH - KL 1916 - 8:25 AM AMS
10:25 AM AMS - DL 161 - 12:42 MSP
3:40 PM MSP - DL 3948 - 5:02 PM OMA
Star Alliance (United):
9:40 AM ZRH - UA12 - 12:40 PM ORD
3:50 PM ORD - UA 4662 - 5:47 PM OMA

AA is your best bet. Expect a connection through PHL, DCA, or CLT. I travel a lot with AA for work and leisure and have been to New Orleans enough times the past few years.

I mean, see aforementioned Star Alliance allegiance. I'll always say UA for that reason.
The real answer, however, is generally "the airline you usually fly, unless cost, connections, etc are worth it". Unless you almost never fly, in which case, just get the cheapest flight you can.
The family (well, my mom and I, my dad doesn't travel) is a Star Alliance family mostly because that's the main way to get in and out of Poland - Lufthansa (and their Austrian and Swiss affiliates) and LOT Polish are both SA. The other options would be British or a budget airline, both of which are way less flexible. It also helps that EWR, our home airport, is a UA - but not Delta or AA - hub.
I get a lot "more" out of flying United for that reason - miles I can put towards trips to Poland to see family, status benefits like extra checked bags, money and flight segments towards maintaining status, free rebooking/cancelling, things like that. Plus, when I've got a travel issue (happens basically every time, I'm cursed), my mom, who has super high UA status because she travels a ton, makes one phone call to the UA 1K service desk and they usually find me a solution. That's why I'm generally going to be flying UA or Star Alliance unless the price is so much cheaper that I can't pass it up - which hasn't happened yet, in my experience.
ALB to MSY is a flight between two nonhubs. Whichever airline you pick, you're going to be going from ALB to a hub and from that hub to MSY. I don't see a direct flight available.
Most of the hard product between the three major airlines is effectively the same, especially in economy. Soft product is also really similar. Going budget (Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest) means a jankier experience but the same end result.
Ultimately, you just want to get from point A to point B, and the airline wants to sell you their credit card.
So my real advice is just "take the cheapest flight that works for you".
One thing I will note - ORD has had a lot of taxi delays recently. Would not recommend a connection under 2 hours there simply because if you get hit with a 30+ minute delay from landing to gate, and then have to run across ORD to catch your next flight, it will suck. And note that the wheels-down/wheels-up times do not correspond to when doors open and close - if my flight lands at 12:30 and my next one takes off at 1:30, I'm probably getting off the plane at 12:40-45 (depending on where I sit) and the doors close at 1:15.
Anywho, you're welcome to DM me with specific flight itineraries and the like if you'd want some more in-detail thoughts :)
Nice to see another Star Alliance flyer. Newark is also my airport of choice since I live about 75 miles from there - a quick shot up I-78.
I have lifetime gold status on United/Star Alliance, thanks to all those flights to Asia when I was still working. That's good for eliminating bag fees when traveling domestically, and sometimes even internationally, which is worth 80-100 dollars on a given itinerary. I also get to hang out in the lounges when traveling internationally. Plus when you're flying to Asia, like I still occasionally do, having Singapore Air in your alliance is rather nice. ANA and Thai are also quite pleasant.

Cut to me confirming the law school break period is October 12 to 16 - likely have to make the trip to Poland again (dentist stuff) in that timeframe... if I leave Ithaca on the 9th and NJ on the 10th... guh, it's gonna be a HARD sell for my mother to leave me in Ithaca by the 16th...
I don't remember having ever been to a scrimmage - I think it's usually scheduled over my fall break and I get dragged off back to Jersey for those. It's not on the Google calendar though. They are public admission like the other games, right?

I haven't been to a Red White game in decades, and I can't remember if they are free or if they charge a few bucks and donate the money to charity. In recent years, it's been a joint scrimmage for the men's and women's teams, though I'm not sure if that will still be the case since the women's season has shifted a little earlier.

A man goes to his dentist in Warsaw. The dentist sits him down, examines his teeth, and says, "Sir, you have a major cavity, and it's going to cost 700 Zloty to fix." The patient looks shocked, jumps up, and yells, "Seven Hundred Zloty for just five minutes of work?!" The dentist calmly replies, "You're right. If it makes you feel better, I can drill very, very slowly."

When an undergrad my chemistry professor was so tight that after losing several lower molars he decided to have a removable bridge (or plate) made rather than spring for a cemented prosthetic.
His dentist built a standard dental plate and fitted it into his mouth and it worked acceptably.
In three months, prof was back at his dentist. The dentist looked in his mouth, and the plate he had just put in was so deteriorated it was beyond repair.
The dentist was shocked that it had only lasted three months, so he constructed a new plate and had stainless steel used as the structural framework.
But again in about three months prof returned to him as the stainless steel plate was corroded and failing.
This time he had the plate made with titanium, but once more it only lasted a matter of months before deteriorating beyond repair.
Totally baffled, he sent prof to a professor of metallurgical professor who was also a patient to see if he could solve this puzzle.
The professor examined his plate (false tooth bridge) and quizzed the man about his dental hygiene and diet. "There must be something very acidic that you eat a lot of." I know a professor of Food Science and if anyone can figure it out it's her.
So prof went hat (and plate) in hand to visit Dr. Chompowski. He reluctantly handed the prosthetic to her and was peppered by a barrage of diet questions worthy of a moot court cross examination. Her persistence paid off when prof told her this:
"To tell the truth, my wife makes the absolute best hollandaise sauce in the world. I put it on everything."
"Aha!" Chompowski exclaimed, "Have your dentist make you a new plate out of chrome and you shouldn't have any more problems!"
"Chrome?" prof asked, "Why chrome?"
"Because," she replied, "There's no plate like chrome for the hollandaise!"

I don't remember having ever been to a scrimmage - I think it's usually scheduled over my fall break and I get dragged off back to Jersey for those. It's not on the Google calendar though. They are public admission like the other games, right?
Your dentist is in Poland?!?!? I though I was nuts that mine is 10 miles away in Bethlehem.
A man goes

A man goes to his dentist in Warsaw. The dentist sits him down, examines his teeth, and says, "Sir, you have a major cavity, and it's going to cost 700 Zloty to fix." The patient looks shocked, jumps up, and yells, "Seven Hundred Zloty for just five minutes of work?!" The dentist calmly replies, "You're right. If it makes you feel better, I can drill very, very slowly."

When an undergrad my chemistry professor was so tight that after losing several lower molars he decided to have a removable bridge (or plate) made rather than spring for a cemented prosthetic.
His dentist built a standard dental plate and fitted it into his mouth and it worked acceptably.
In three months, prof was back at his dentist. The dentist looked in his mouth, and the plate he had just put in was so deteriorated it was beyond repair.
The dentist was shocked that it had only lasted three months, so he constructed a new plate and had stainless steel used as the structural framework.
But again in about three months prof returned to him as the stainless steel plate was corroded and failing.
This time he had the plate made with titanium, but once more it only lasted a matter of months before deteriorating beyond repair.
Totally baffled, he sent prof to a professor of metallurgical professor who was also a patient to see if he could solve this puzzle.

Just diaspora things.

Over the Chirstmas [Winter] Break Coach Jones will be Assistant Coach for the U.S. Collegiate Selects in the Spangler Cup in Davos, Switzerland. (Mike Sousa of UNH is Head Coach and Scott Sandelin of Minnesota Duluth is the other Assistant.)
That's a little tight for the early January Omaha game . . . but maybe promises adding UNH and UMD to the schedule. I would love to see us play UMD in the Frozen Apple.
I recall Walsh's travelogue getting back from Davos for the Omaha series last year...
Assuming they make the finals (12/31), it's unlikely they travel home the same day unless they do it by a private jet.
Recall last year, our Omaha series was the 2nd and 3rd. This gave them the leeway to take off on the 1st for the intl flight and then the 2nd do the regional flights. Walsh got back to Ithaca at like, 3:30 pm the day of the Omaha series, as per McNally. I've heard it was even thornier than that 😅
Assuming similar, that they would fly most likely from Zurich on the 1st of January, I don't see a way Casey would get to Omaha for the Jan 1st game. Jan 2nd, sure, but Jan 1st we'll likely see an assistant take the reins.
Hey, Coach, if you're reading this, here are your best bets:
SkyTeam (Delta):
6:50 AM ZRH - KL 1916 - 8:25 AM AMS
10:25 AM AMS - DL 161 - 12:42 MSP
3:40 PM MSP - DL 3948 - 5:02 PM OMA
Star Alliance (United):
9:40 AM ZRH - UA12 - 12:40 PM ORD
3:50 PM ORD - UA 4662 - 5:47 PM OMA
WAIT HOLD ON
(https://i.ibb.co/yBFRpz3c/Screenshot-2026-08-02-02-16-39-53-40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg) (https://ibb.co/3YmsvxJ9)
That solves that problem.
Did you also check the train schedules from Davos to Zurich for the early morning flight in case he has to go before the team bus? https://www.sbb.ch/en In any event, it seems like he'd have to stay in Zurich the night before to make it to the airport in time.

At least I won't have to cheer for a team coached by Gadowsky this time. You'll probably be able to watch all of the games on https://www.youtube.com/@SpenglerCupDavos/streams again.
So is the Holy Cross game instead of an additional scrimmage/exhibition game? They usually have two of these types of games heading into a season.

We have an exhibition v Waterloo and a scrimmage within the team the week after. Ivies got an extra game this year.

I believe two years ago they played Princeton in a scrimmage instead of Red/White. They typically play two scrimmage/exhibition games against an opponent before the season instead of one. I started looking back at the recent schedules and that's been the case for at least back to the pandemic. They didn't list the Princeton scrimmage on the schedule from Syer's first season but I know it was part of the ticket package. Right? I just wondered why this year was different and if it was because of the extra regular season game?

Sorry, I
am too lazy to don't have time to look, but I recall elsewhere on this forum that the Ivy game limit got bumped up last year to 30 -- sort of. It's actually 29 if you play two exhibitions (as Cornell and most of the rest of the Ivies have historically done), or 30 if you only play one.
The Big Apple game not being in primetime kinda sucks after selling so many tickets promoting it as such.
