Doubleheaders so far:
10/30-10/31: MIH vs Sacred Heart, WIH vs Union/RPI. This will be a good ice quality test.
11/20: MIH vs Clarkson, WIH vs Colgate.
1/22-1/23: MIH vs Harvard/Dartmouth, WIH vs SLU/Clarkson. (Someone should tell the athletics director to bundle WIH tix that weekend with the MIH ones, at least for students.)
That's all so far - remarkably little overlap, which is nice in some regards (the women get to play 7 pm games, less ice concerns) and not so nice in others (I fucking love a good doubleheader, few weekends where I can do things that aren't hockey... as if I do anything besides hockey and law school lmao).
Weder, can you update the original post to have the women's schedule on it?
In ancient times, the ECAC scheduled women's conference games on Saturdays and Sundays, so a very, very small handful of people could opt to spend the whole weekend at Lynah a few times a season.

Opponent's women play Sunday in Ithaca, that can be a long bus ride home (Dartmouth, Harvard, Brown). OTOH, the team doesn't miss many Friday classes. I am having a hard time remembering how many Friday classes I had, but it may be remembering how many Friday pm classes I got to. Back in the day, the Cornell Sun played some touch football games at the Yale Princeton Dartmouth etcetera papers Saturday morning and I thought that took priority.

There was a brief period when Niagara and Maine were in the ECAC women's league at the same time. Talk about a bus ride!

I think that this article and the subsequent article on then outcome of the draft bode well for hockey coverage over the next couple of years.
A couple nonconference series have been added to the opponents' schedules:
Oct. 23 at Boston College
Oct. 24 at Boston College
Jan. 1 at Penn State
Jan. 2 at Penn State
Women's Team Canada Development Camp roster is out.
Avi Adam, Piper Grober, and Ashley Messier made the cut. (https://x.com/i/status/2083211918307680754)
U-18 development camp (https://x.com/i/status/2083227499773800641) also features Cornell commit Aurora Matt.
As per Eli Kwait, the new WHockey reporter, "Cornell commit Aurora Matt is a defenseman out of Toronto that put up 31 points (10g, 21a) in 39 GP in the OWHL and added 5 assists for Canada at the U-18 WJC."
If I remember right, Grace Dwyer is on the U.S. development camp roster. Apparently Avar and Bergmann were invited but are not attending so I hope those aren't any sort of injuries to be concerned about. Some committed players on the U-18 roster as well.
Incoming class officially announced (https://cornellbigred.com/news/2026/7/31/womens-ice-hockey-adds-nine-newcomers.aspx). Looks like the roster should be at 24 this year -- 3 G, 7 D, 14 F

Good. Looks like we'll have a bit more depth this year.

As has been mentioned plenty, lack of depth was our Achilles heal last season.

Yep. Hence my comment.

Yay!!! Can't wait.
Piper Grober (CAN) and Rose Dwyer (USA) made the national development team rosters for the U.S.-Canada series that starts today in Vancouver. I haven't looked closely, but I think there is at least one commit on both the U.S. and Canadian U-18 teams that are also playing starting today in Vancouver.

Pretty sure Aurora Matt, a Cornell commit, is captaining the Canadian team.

I had a closer look, and I think Bria Schilling on the U.S. team is the other commit in the U-18 series.

😂 I've overnighted at the airport in Salt Lake City once, I've had flights land in NYC at 2 AM and had to figure my way home... but even I don't think I could handle a Penn Station nap.
This is GREAT news ngl and I'm now strongly considering skipping Frozen Apple entirely - Maine is a fun team but not a team that I'd be willing to brave Penn Station at 3 AM for... Plus, not only does noon puck drop really suck to get to and back from, there's effectively no ability to hang out pregame. And after it, well, if we get our asses kicked nobody's going to want to do anything. And after 3-4 PM on a Saturday the museums and shit will be closed (yes I am secretly Dougie Hamilton) so the only stuff left is clubbing (no) or tourist traps like Times Square (also no).
Not to say I didn't have a great time the Sunday after Red Hot wandering around the Oculus, the market at Bryant Park, and Hudson Yards before I had to go. But I have a 9 AM class on Mondays 😂
My current "concepts of a travel plan" I'm working on is trying to catch the PIT @ BUF preseason game on the 26th of September (which would be my first NHL game). But even there, I'm trying to weigh it against Applefest on the same weekend, because if I did that I'd want to leave Friday and come back probably Sunday... two nights in a hotel... but I would get probably 2 days in Buffalo, and I do want to visit there... but I'd miss Applefest...
One of my friends from undergrad recently got a job in Bingo, and they're a HUGE hockey person. I might annoy them to see if they'd be down to go splitsies.
But I also absolutely want to do an Amerks game this year and couple it with a Rochester weekend. Ideally also get to go to a Comets game, but I don't know if there's any shit to do in Utica besides eat a half-moon cookie and go home.
Guh. I need to check hockey schedules.
Why couldn't I have gotten into, idk, knitting 😂

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is famously open late Saturday nights. But I don't think that was actually your main point. ;D

I'm trying to get into crochet. Mixed results. I make nice little things but rarely have the energy for it.
They finally updated the roster (https://cornellbigred.com/sports/womens-ice-hockey/roster) with this year's entering class and I hope stereax isn't too annoyed by some of their jersey number choices. ;D

86 and 88 are at least like. Modern classic hockey numbers (Kucherov, Kane). Who the fuck approved 65 for use on anybody, ever 😭
Dunno if this deserves its own thread:
https://www.ncaa.com/news/icehockey-women/article/2026-08-31/2027-womens-frozen-four-dates-changed
They've moved them from Friday/Sunday (March 19/21) to Sunday/Tuesday (March 21/23), ostensibly to allow them to be broadcast on ESPN's "linear channels" which I assume are the ones you have to pay extra for if you don't have cable. >:(

Linear channels means traditional cable channels. So I'm guessing this means they will probably put the semis on ESPNU or something instead of streaming-only, which is what I think they were the past few seasons.
Following the WCHA's trial run last year, the NCAA is allowing all women's conferences to "opt in" to a new rule allowing pucks to be played at any height, with no whistles for high sticking (apart from actual penalties). Or, as the NCAA calls it, "unlimited high sticking", which also sounds like some sort of bizarre credit card perk.

No. 3 in ECAC preseason poll (https://cornellbigred.com/news/2026/9/9/womens-ice-hockey-2026-ecac-hockey-preseason-poll-release.aspx) (Quinnipiac and Princeton are 1-2).
