He changed his mind.

RPI actually has 9 incoming freshmen.

I'll take fourth! (Especially on a "lighter" year.)

I wouldn't take fourth in the ECAC. Also our number is much lower than most teams in B10, HE, and NCHC. The good news though is that Puck Preps is, I assume, totally unreliable.

I don't subscribe to Puck Preps, so I cannot comment on how reliable it is. I do think that calculating a number for each player and then simply adding them up may not be the best thing to do. For example, It is important to factor in how the recruit fills a hole in the team's lineup.

BTW, there are 14 schools in other leagues ranked higher than any ECAC school.

Quote from: ursusminor on June 25, 2026, 12:33:44 PMI went through the most recent few pages of this thread, and I did not find a list of exactly whom Cornell expects to arrive in the fall. The various sites that have lists don't all agree. Is there a list, or even an educated guess?

The reason that I asked now is that RPI, which is notiously secretive (or too lazy), recently posted Instagrams of all 9 of the expected freshmen but then only added two of the four players expected from the portal. See https://www.instagram.com/rpi_mhockey/. The first player is Josh Evaschesen https://www.instagram.com/p/DZDWwzFCzY2/. If the other two (both D) don't come, we are very shorthanded on defense, but I think someone just forgot.

As per Cornell itself when it was working on the site, see here.

Arend, Armstrong, Hughes, Randle, Rousseau, Tuminaro, Wehmann, Zadvernyuk.

This was before Gardiner committed and he is expected this fall as well.

Thanks

Quote from: ursusminor on June 21, 2026, 03:09:50 PMAs I wrote in the original post on this thread, I have been following Emily Bear's career since 2010. She recently stated that she completed the work on two films without naming them. One most likely is Behemoth! where she is one of eight who have written the music and the youngest by over a decade.

Conceivably, the other movie is the biopic "Fred and Ginger". Over three years ago this was published. From this article: Grammy-winning music producer Marius de Vries (La La Land) will work alongside Tony-winning choreographer Christopher Wheeldon (MJ the Musical) and Grammy-winning songwriters Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear and Emmy-nominated Mark Sonnenblick to recreate the music and dance numbers the pair are famous for. I haven't seen anything about this film in the interim.

Emily has posted a few Instagram posts of songs used by Astaire and Rogers. The post by Emily https://www.instagram.com/p/DXkbTpjEuDB and Astaire and Rogers' film version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1u2G16fq_Y.

Quote from: stereax on June 22, 2026, 11:36:35 AMBU is awesome, UMaine will be great too. Omaha ofc we pay them back, RIT is a tradition it feels like.

We've only played RIT four times ever. Last was 2010.

Wait for real??? I swear it feels like we play them every year.

Am I getting them mixed up with RPI? I am, aren't I.

One of Rochester and Rensellaer is very offended by this. Probably Rochester, home of my favorite accent.

What is Rensellaer [sic]?

A few days ago this YouTube video


and a shorter version on Instagram were posted. I had never heard of Alessia Cara. It did not take much effort to find out that she won the 2018 Grammy for Best New Artist. Very recently, she performed at the Canadian opening ceremony for the World Cup. (She is Canadian.) Anyway, I wonder if this will lead to anything more.

I was happy to see that a certain person's name has been removed from The Kennedy Center's YouTube account. The following is Emily, Abigail Barlow, and Darren Criss's performance at The Kennedy Center's 50th Anniversary Concert. It was not the later Kennedy Center concert of the entire Unofficial Bridgerton Musical that caused Netflix to sue Barlow and Bear for theft of intellectual property (settled out of court).

Quote from: Scersk '97 on May 27, 2026, 10:36:37 PMI'm just excited that we're likely to have our first 100-point career scorer in, well... seems like forever.

Even with Castagna's departure, we're building quite a stable of offensive talent. We have four other guys who, if they stay for four, might reach the 100-point mark, and one of them's a defenseman! If that happened, he would very much be the first in "forever." (Chris Norton's senior season was my family's first full season at the rink.)

Might we dream of a 20-goal season?

Speaking of stats that haven't been broken in a while, just pulled up Walshy's page to check how far away from 100 he is and they've added bios for this season. Did you know that Walsh posted career-high five assists against RPI (Nov. 22), becoming first Cornell player with five assists in a game since Casey Jones '90 on Jan. 6, 1989, against Brown?

Walsh is at 86 btw. Unless he gets hurt or similar, he'll almost certainly eclipse 100 in his Cornell career.

I wish there was somewhere I could find a sorted list of most points in a Cornell career... I see Moulson had 130-something in 4 years, and had the last 20-goal season on file...

Also:

2025-26 | FRESHMAN SEASON
Served as one of 12 skaters to appear in all 34 games ... totaled 30 points (11-19—30), ranking third on team and his 11 goals were second-most on team ... became first Cornell freshman with a 30-point season since Riley Nash (12-20—32) in 2007-08 and only the third player to do so since 1988-89, also joining Kyle Knopp (11-22—33) in 1995-96 ... registered nine multi-point games, highlighted by season-high four-point game against Alaska (Jan. 9 — 2-2—4) ... eight other multi-point efforts saw him have two points each ... had six power-play points (3-3—6) ... posted plus-20 rating, second-best figure on team ... won ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week three times (Jan. 12; March 2; March 16).

You know what I'm gonna say.

QuoteBradley Gardiner (F, R, 6'1", 191, Barrie Colts, 03/06/2005, Cornell)

A member of the OHL's Barrie Colts, Gardiner played an integral role this year, putting up 31 goals and 65 points and helping his team make a run to the OHL final. He will play for Cornell next season.

Gardiner's quick reads help him make an impact.

"Gardiner excels as a two-way forward, showcasing his skills through his work ethic and physicality. He consistently engages opponents in puck battles, utilizing an active stick to gain possession. In the defensive zone, Gardiner reads plays well, anticipating passes and disrupting them effectively. He is also capable of scoring goals, demonstrating speed and agility on breakaways."

Quote from: stereax on May 26, 2026, 09:31:26 AMInteresting article about college hockey budgets.

It would, of course, be more interesting if they had data on private schools including all 12 ECAC schools, but they didn't have to respond and thus didn't. OTOH, the article stated "We are currently missing FY25 MFRS data from Alabama State, ETSU, Ferris State, Troy, UNC-Asheville, and Tennessee State." Only Ferris has a team, and Tennessee State has been saying that they are working on it for over a year. The rest?

ACHA teams, I think.

They certainly could be, but there are a lot of other state schools with ACHA teams, or should I say clubs?
