Quote from: Weder on October 07, 2026, 01:04:30 PMI'm looking forward to seeing what Jillian McLaughlin brings to the offense.

For next year's class, Tereza Gildainova is very promising -- has put up huge numbers on a hockey academy team stacked with DI commits and has done well at World Juniors as well.

Yes.  For this year's class, I'm expecting big things from McLaughlin, the Bishop twins, and Carly Dann (who may be the physical presence needed on D to replace Grace Dwyer).  We'll see this weekend.

Next year's class is filthy.  Besides the aforementioned Gildainova, Aurora Matt was on the Canada U18 team and Bria Schilling was on the US U18 team.  Another big defender in Kate Hall from Shattuck...

For anyone closer to the program than I am, what is the outlook for the women's team for the 2026-2027 season?  The preseason poll says 3rd. 

The issue last year was that the team had only 11 forwards.  The team looked exhausted by the end of the season.  With the nine person class coming in, there are now 14 F, 7 D, and 3 G.  Which of the newcomers are going to have a big impact?  Last year, only Curtis seemed to have a big impact. 

For Cornell to finish in the top three, they will need at least four of the newcomers to really shine.

Next year's incoming class also has nine skaters and is apparently ranked near the top, according to neutral zone.

Quote from: billchu on March 30, 2026, 01:17:25 PMYeah, there were a ton of Denver fans. They would get somewhat stirred up when Denver would have an opportunity. And during play there was the occasional "Let's go Pios" chant. We did some "Let's  go Red" for our guys.
But with the incessant piped-in music at stoppages, there didn't seem to be any dynamic of the DU supporters doing any cheers. Maybe it's different for games in their own arena?

Lots of Denver fans.  Probably 8:1 or 10:1.  I'm surprised that Denver doesn't have a pep band. They did have cheerleaders though which was annoying.

I know the place was almost all Denver fans, but I was surprised by the lack of atmosphere on the broadcast. No crowd noise except after goals. Not sure what it was like in person. The rink itself was heavily mic'd—-you heard very loudly the sounds on the ice like the sticks, the boards, the saves—-and maybe that masked the crowd noise.

The crowd was mostly older fans (as witnessed by the lines to the men's room).  DU also had spring break 3/21 - 3/29 so a lot of students were gone.  There were very few organized cheers on either side.

Here is a list from Sydney Wolf's site:

Click on the ECAC section and it should launch a spreadsheet with tabs for each team.

I exported this file to Excel and added heights.  I'll see if I can dig that up.

First goal was Perron-Roy on a beautiful cross-ice pass from McDavid.

Second goal was scored by Curtis.

Third goal was scored by Avar.

You got 1 and 2 flipped but yep. 3rd was a PPG.

Thanks for the correction.  I was going by my admittedly bad memory.

It is really great to see that Perron-Roy has elevated her game with the increased ice time.

That power play unit of Avar, Adam, Curtis, Préfontaine, and Regalado is filthy.

Quote from: Weder on October 15, 2025, 08:30:58 PMBrianne Jenner '15 and Jillian Saulnier '15 Class of 2025 Cornell Athletics Hall of Fame Inductees

Brianne Jenner and Jillian Saulnier will be in attendance this weekend and we are so excited to get the chance to honor them after the game on Saturday.  We hope you will join us in viewing an on-ice tribute to Bri and Jill.  Dr. Nicki Moore will welcome Bri, Jill and their families out on the ice, followed by a highlight video of their storied careers on the scoreboard.  Bri and Jill will be available after the game in the main foyer of Lynah Rink to distribute signed Hall of Fame Cards.

Can we get Bri and Jill a couple of uniforms?  Should solve the lack of forwards issue.

Bergmann is a junior this coming season.  However, I wonder if there is a possibility she could be selected for the U.S. Olympic team as she performed very well at the Collegiate Series this past August in Lake Placid.

Maybe Gary Thorne would do the play-by-play now that Gio is enrolling.

You may be right, but she did mention in her zoom interview from February 2021 that the NCAA had granted an extra year of eligibility.  See around the 9 min 30 sec mark.

As regarding medical redshirting for the 22-23 season, she played in 11 of the 32 games that season, exceeding the 30% threshold.

Ashley Messier came in as a first year in Fall of 2020.  The Ivy League canceled sports that year, so she withdrew from Cornell to preserve her eligibility.  She played the 21-22, 22-23, 23-24, and 24-25 seasons, so she has exhausted her Ivy eligibility.  Since she first enrolled in 2020, she is entitled to a NCAA fifth year of eligibility due to COVID.

GWG looks like a tip by Georgia Schiff.

Quote from: VIEWfromKThe guys got hurt in the practices leading up to the season.  All freak things.  None of those injuries occurred in Europe like I expected once I saw the carnage come that preseason game vs Princeton.  They have to figure out a way to stay afloat before the "trade deadline" acquisitions reinforce the depth in the new year.

So what's the timeline on the injured players returning? Seems like:
Mack—back next week
Psenicka—week to week
Fegaras—sometime in the next few weeks(?)
Wallace—next semester
Devlin—next semester
Wolfenberg—who knows, but looked like it will be awhile

Did I forget anyone? Is Mosko hurt too? He has seen no ice time despite being the 7th defenseman last year and Fegaras being out.

Need to get healthy ASAP because the team
 is really struggling right now.

From the Cornell Hockey Association Welcome Picnic (9/29/24), both Devlin and Wallace were in casts with knee scooters.  Devlin's looked like an Aircast Boot and Wallace's looked like a hard cast.  Fegaras didn't seem to be injured at that date.  Ironically, Psenicka looked to have a wrist cast (don't know if this is related to his current injury).  Here are the links to the photos.  You can scroll through.
