Quote from: Jeff Hopkins '82 on November 15, 2025, 11:43:51 PMTo be fair, it's 50º outside right now and pouring.  So that's going to warm things up inside the rink.  And it was pretty warm inside.  But somebody is going to have to do a serious job of reconditioning the ice in the next week.  Because there are a bunch of things that need work.

Same forecast next weekend pretty much. No women's game though.

I had to wonder from home what the rink air temperature was.  Unless there's some functional problem with the refrigeration system, that must be the biggest factor. 
It's really hard for me to imagine that having a game in the afternoon would affect the ice in the evening.  I don't see any complaints about the ice in the evening after the quarterfinal against BU in 2012.  https://cornellbigred.com/news/2012/3/10/WICE_0310121319.aspx

Just give em cash.

I'll admit that I was a clueless nerd in high school.  I'd scored quite well on the standardized tests, as did we all who made it to Cornell, and I received lots of mailings from colleges.  The one that really baffled me was a big picture postcard from some southern school showing a row of coeds in bathing suits sitting on a diving board at a swimming pool.  The words on the other side were as skimpy as the bathing suits, and included no mention of the academic program.  Since the education was why I planned to go to college, I just didn't grasp the point of the postcard.

Quote from: chimpfood on November 08, 2025, 09:16:20 PMAm I missing something or has Major not been on the ice?

Haven't seen or heard about him in a while

Major skated to the locker room during a tv timeout.  Didn't appear to be injured and the trainer did not accompany him.  I want to say it was early in the 2nd.  Did not see him for the rest of the game.

Maybe he ate at a Pizza Hut nearby?

My money's on Taco Bell.

Pizza Hut is a reference to a team meal gone bad in the north country before you were born.

Oh... if there's more to the story than "they had Pizza Hut and got sick" I'm all ears.

They had Pizza Hut and essentially half the team was incapacitated for the next game. It was ugly.

So... no, not much more.

What more there was was left in the bathrooms of Canton.  From what I understand, it was a very, very bad night for everyone, even if you weren't sick, as one can imagine.  But it goes down in roadtrip history like the Colgate trip where we forgot our uniforms and the Montreal Micron Tournament where the first night we lost 10 players either to DQs or Lou Reycroft going ballistic and healthy scratching his captains (IINM, one of them Mike Schafer).  The second night things, um, got out of hand.

Good God. That's a goal every 3 minutes on average.

But, for both teams.  Boring.

Two hat tricks in one game?  How about two hat tricks by one player in that one game?

Jane's take on the game

Quote from: stereax on October 28, 2025, 09:17:00 PM5-0 victory. We had a 3 on 5 at the end of the game and we killed it, yay! Bergmann shutty, yay! Adam took a bad block and looked hurt... not yay. Hoping she's okay.

Thank you for the reports.

Quote from: BearLover on October 26, 2025, 12:44:05 AMSomething really needs to be done about the spam.

Worth mentioning, though, that we do (however sporadically) delete the spam, while your complaints about it remain.

It seems to me that spam is addressed quite quickly.  I'm not logged in continuously, but based on the complaints I must miss a lot.  One thing that I haven't yet found on this new platform is a quick button for reporting spam.  Is there a way for users to flag junk with a single click? 

Quote from: scoop85 on October 18, 2025, 07:46:18 PMI'm thrilled the Sun sports department is focusing on features.

And doing a really good job of it! 

Thanks to Al DeFlorio's mention of Jane McNally in the Sun sports beat thread, I see that the new field is in use even though construction is not yet complete.

I miss Sam Woodside!

Was Sam before Grady before Adam before Jason?

I grew up listening to Sam Woodside call Cornell hockey, football, and basketball games in the 50's and 60's.  
Arthur remembered him in this post from 2006.

Amazing perseverance!  Thank you for the link.

In completely different area, I expect that this story, as reported in The Ithaca Voice and The Sun will start to circulate widely for its novelty.
