Doug, Brock - not bad company!  But how would a 20-something know?

7 is not a forward's number it's a defenseman's number no amount of counterexamples will make me change my mind

Let's go pro:

Phil Esposito
Bill Barber
Ted Lindsay
Brady Tkachuk
Rod Gilbert
Rick Martin
Lanny McDonald
Joe Mullen
Red Berenson

I rest my case.

Bro snuck Brady Tkachuk in there 💀

Yep.  One for you young bucks.   

Hahahaha. Fair.

I still maintain it's a bad look to be under 8 as a forward. And 8 is only acceptable because Ovechkin. I don't particularly like 9 on forwards either ngl. At least it's not 2, like a bunch of the young buck forwards are wearing nowadays. I want to throttle them.

D-men:      2-6, 26-29
Fwds:       7-25
Goalies:    1, 30-35

Yup. As to 11 for defense, Mr. messier would like a word.  As to 7 for defense, see above. The numbers actually have, as in futbol, football, and baseball, historical and positional significance going back to the early days of the game(s).  Four for a center-Beleveau, Lecavalier-was shocking. Schaf's approach to uniform numbers was an acknowledgement of and respect for the history.

Quote from: BearLover on June 26, 2026, 10:52:10 PMWho changed their number besides DiGiulian?

Hiscock took DiGiulian's number.

Also, 60. I want to vomit. Like Castagna, Rousseau better be worth it 😭

Ashton also moved to 11.

This amount of number changing should be illegal.

Numbers ought to be proportional to name length.  Zadvernyuk getting 7 is visually criminal

Defenders simply cannot wear number 11

Quote from: BearLover on August 14, 2026, 12:30:55 AMThe Ivies had a good season in 2025-26 and I expect them to improve further in the next few years. They're one of the few subsets of schools that isn't in total disarray in the new college hockey environment.

The Ivies are recruiting well, they have young new coaches, and their schools aren't on the verge of going bankrupt like most of the schools playing D1 hockey. Maybe most importantly, almost no one transfers out thanks to the value of the degree.

Whether the other Ivies improving is good for Cornell specifically is hard to say. If Cornell is after the same pool of recruits, then it's probably bad for us.

Sure helps the sos if Brown and Yale get a dead cat bounce out of the cellar.  It's really only those two who have been consistently bad recently, and obviously Yale is historically generally pretty to very good.  Plus the pizza.

Have a friend who is on faculty at Dartmouth.  Won't share what they teach because that would give it away.  Suffice to say it's not an area with which you would associate jocks.  Said pleasantly surprised by how engaged the hockey players in the class were.  Also said they were very nice /respectful.  At which point, I said I don't want to hear anymore, as I want to dislike them

Quote from: arugula on July 30, 2026, 06:27:53 PMThat makes four against Atlantic Hockey. Bad!

With this OOC, the only helpful games are BU and Maine (maybe Omaha). With the league not great, we as always need to avoid slip ups.

Quote from: BearLover on July 30, 2026, 01:31:35 PM"College Puck NXT" released a ranking of teams' incoming classes and Cornell did not crack the top 25. Quinnipiac was 18, Harvard and RPI were honorable mentions (21-25), and no one else in conference made the list. I suspect these rankings are total crap, but it's not surprising Cornell isn't on there as our recruiting has been mediocre lately.

If our recruiting has been mediocre, I'd hate to see what bad looks like. Tournament every year.  Many draft picks.  Ask North Dakota and BU and Harvard and Denver about our recruiting.  For that matter, Western Michigan must really suck at recruiting.  Just watch the games.

That makes four against Atlantic Hockey. Bad!

Yes, as did I and thanks for getting back to me.

Unrelated.  For a variety of reasons, mostly Mainers visiting for Thanksgiving, I didn't want to get the Cornell section tickets for the Frozen Apple.  The general presale begins tomorrow.  Any idea of a presale code?  can't find one. 

Heartily agree.  Dulles is terrible and terribly inconvenient.  BWI an excellent option

As a Rangers season ticket holder, every year I consider doing the doubleheader that Saturday,, with Rangers playing in the afternoon but then I decide I'd rather stay married. 

Calgary visits MSG in the afternoon of the Frozen Apple. With Castagna?

Also, Jane is hired by the Sabres to create content. Great news for her.

Happy that the schedule stays  local-ish.  That California trip a few years ago just seemed wrong.  Call me old fashioned, but missing class for a week ain't a good idea.  I know I know they can take class remotely. 

Cornell, université de l'État de New York.   Cornell, the State University of New York.

«[Les Badgers] ont gagné six championnats nationaux, a plaidé Cournoyer. C'est le programme en tant que tel et le fait d'avoir une meilleure chance de gagner un championnat national. »

"[The Badgers] have won six national championships," Cournoyer said. It's the program itself and having a better chance of winning a national championship. »

Here's hoping for an NCAA game between Les Badgers and the State University of New York (at Ithaca)
