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. 

Quote from: nycred on April 26, 2026, 03:32:38 PMThought I'd start this topic off a bit early with an update on current commitments

Luke Kennevan, 6'4" Shooting Guard: Transfer from D2 Lock Haven, where he averaged 10.1/4.3/2.5 on 49.8/39.7/73.2% shooting. Seems super random honestly, but then again Cornell is faced with a lot of recruiting limitations. Super curious about what the coaching staff saw and how he'll pan out. 

Carson Davis, 6'8" Power Forward: Brings some much needed size to a team that really lacked a true big last year. All time leading scorer at Meigs HS (OH). Also had offers from Air Force, Jackson State, and six D2 schools.

Quinn Gibson, 6'6" Small Forward: Joins Cornell after a postgrad year at Winchendon. Offered his senior year by D2 West Chester

Mikehi Williams, 6'6" Small Forward: Also had offers from Lehigh, Campbell, Rice, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, South Carolina State, Georgia Southern, and two D2 schools.

Trey Williams, 6'3" Point Guard. Also had offers from Dartmouth and Navy.

Sage Mateo, 6'2" Point Guard. Also had offers from Brown and Columbia.

And here's the Cornell announcement.  https://cornellbigred.com/news/2026/6/4/mens-basketball-introduces-seven-newcomes-for-2026-27.aspx  Sames names as nycred posted plus one more, another transfer.  There are now 19 listed on the roster for 2026-27.  https://cornellbigred.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster.  4 seniors, 4 juniors, 6 soph, 5 frosh.

Quote from: stereax on May 12, 2026, 02:53:03 PMI wonder if Jane has a burner here...

wouldn't surprise me but i think it's more likely that she follows walsh.

Oh no, for sure. I just find it intriguing that this is probably like, the third or fourth time I've posted something here and then Jane picked up on it within an hour or so. But probably half coincidence, half she probably keeps an eye on this place 😂

Or she keeps an eye on the same places you keep your eyes on.

Quote from: ugarte on May 02, 2026, 10:21:59 PMWhat is ATH? (See Atkins and Doughty)

Per Google it means that they played multiple positions and the recruiting team decides which position they will play.

ATH is short for ATHLETE, meaning so athletic they can play multiple positions.

Quote from: stereax on March 19, 2026, 01:06:01 PMOn the bus to Binghamton 🥳

You're going in the wrong direction... 

Haha, unfortunately no direct bus to Albany from Ithaca. This is at least better than going all the way to NYC and connecting there!

For those of you who enjoy my little travelogues, on the bus to Albany! And significantly less stressed - that was the most critical part of the trip and if God forbid the connection was missed, I'd have to book quickly and connect in NYC, getting to Albany around midnight 😭

I, for one, do enjoy your travelogues. 

Quote from: Trotsky on March 12, 2026, 10:23:39 PMSo I am watching the SF at 8 am?

OK, I'm down for that.

8:00 AM PDT

Thanks for the thorough report.

Where exactly is this? (And any info on tickets?)

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Sheldon+Court,+420+College+Ave,+Ithaca,+NY+14850/The+Rink,+1767+E+Shore+Dr,+Ithaca,+NY+14850/@42.479573,-76.5807652,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d081913964e267:0x5e0419b092fe2f8b!2m2!1d-76.4855014!2d42.4422042!1m5!1m1!1s0x89d0832792238e8f:0xcfe1c6bcba83bc43!2m2!1d-76.5032444!2d42.5182376!3e0?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDIyNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

Looks like like Route 36 is the only bus that goes past there, and that's just once or twice per day on weekdays.  Route 37, which does run limited service on Sunday, gets you within a 20 minute walk of The Rink.  Not a pleasant walk, I might add, on the shoulder of state highways.

Quote from: sah67 on February 28, 2026, 11:25:54 PMI don't think I've ever seen a penalty called for "taunting" before. Where do they make the distinction between that and "unsportsmanlike conduct"?

Isn't Takacs their goalie?

Yes.  https://colgateathletics.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/roster/andrew-takacs/16280

Quote from: stereax on February 25, 2026, 05:11:03 PMWeekly Casey's out again, for those who get 'em. Great insights as usual.

I was especially impressed to read that they didn't get to their hotel rooms Friday night until 2:30 am. 

Quote from: jtwcornell91 on February 25, 2026, 09:49:29 AMWith all the snow this winter, we've been doing a bit of snowshoeing around the Rochester area.  Does anyone know about snowshoeing in Ithaca, both suitable trails and rental places?  (One of our local libraries actually loans them out, but we just had to return the ones we were using, so we're out a couple of pairs.)  The Cornell Outdoor Education website says they rent snowshoes, but they're only open 9-1 on weekends.

The forecast seems to call for rain on Saturday, so this may not pan out anyway.

Fifty years ago I spent a pleasant afternoon showshoing trails in the upper section of Buttermilk Falls State Park.  The trail to the foot of Taughannock Falls also remains open in the winter.  On the edge of campus the Cornell Botanical Garden has suitable trails.  From there, cross Fall Creek on the low suspension bridge and follow the Cayuga Trail upstream. 
I can't help with rental suggestions.  I would have expected the Ithaca REI to have rentals, the their web site says the nearest equipment rental location is Rochester.

When is the Meinig Fieldhouse supposed to open?

It won't be used for games, just practices, I thought. Can anyone confirm this?

An announcement from 2023 (https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2023/10/new-indoor-sports-facility-honor-peter-c-meinig-61) said

QuoteThe indoor field will accommodate NCAA men's and women's lacrosse competitions

On the occasion of the ground-breaking in 2024 (https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/10/university-breaks-ground-transformative-meinig-fieldhouse) the word was that

QuoteThe indoor fieldhouse will also enhance the ability of varsity athletics to recruit top student-athletes, train in all seasons in safe and consistent environments, retain high-level coaches, and even compete at home in otherwise unplayable outdoor conditions.
