Quote from: DuncUnfortunately for us students a lot of people may have Prelims the Thursday before spring break - I imagine some will try to come on Saturday tho if we advance

Hopefully the hockey players don't.

Most of them do and they have to leave 2 days ahead so they may miss several

So how's that gonna work?

There are "prelim conflict" forms you can fill out to take a prelim on a make up day for *most* courses - a student fan wanting to skip the exam to go to Springfield and watch would not qualify as a proper "conflict", but I'm pretty positive actually competing in the NCAA hockey tournament would

Quote from: imafrshmnSchafer likes to tamp down the emotions, at least to start games. But the way this one shook out, the emotions ramped up organically, and we finally clicked. We can win a game playing one good period, and that makes us dangerous. I like the vibes going into tomorrow. Hope Kempf's knee feels better.

Kempf looked good there at the end after going down! He was putting in some good shifts after he went back to bench

Got our answer on Garry glitter - guess ECAC doesn't care anymore lol

Anyone know what we were looking for with that challenge?

Not during the goal announcement

Well seems like Dartmouth fans showed up

Have the world-famous Q skating cheerleaders made the trip to North Country?

Yes - I saw them arrive with the band earlier today

Email just sent to Student season ticket holders from Schafer:

Quote from: Mike SchaferHello,

This past weekend, we completed a series sweep of Harvard in the ECAC Quarterfinals before a sold-out crowd of 4,267. Saturday's decisive win was amplified by the infectious environment in Lynah Rink, which has been cultivated by generations of dedicated student fans.

Our student fans are the core of the Lynah Faithful, and your participation invigorates the atmosphere each time we play at home.

I wanted to take the time to thank you for your support throughout the season, and your willingness to adapt during Saturday night's game. Your resilience and ability to continue the momentum, while refraining from the use of profanities, ultimately contributed to the environment that propelled the team to a win. Supporting our team - while abiding by league rule and being gracious to our opponents - is integral to our success. I encourage you to continue to support the Big Red and our traditions in creative and innovative ways.

This upcoming weekend, Cornell will face Dartmouth in the ECAC Hockey semifinals at Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid, N.Y. Your continued support is greatly appreciated as we continue our post-season competition.

I also encourage you to stay on the lookout for information regarding season tickets for next year. As I mentioned, the environment in Lynah has been cultivated by generations of student fans, and your perennial support is a pillar of the Cornell Hockey experience.
 

Go Big Red!

I Thought with the discourse about the student section/profanity, this was relevant to share.

Since I haven't spoken about it since I posted my message about getting tossed for starting Hey Song, i thought I'd share my thoughts from the perspective of a section B student. I totally agree with everyone here expressing grief towards the "F U _____" chants. I too, along with many of the seniors up front of section B find these "lazy" chants annoying, especially given they are typically started by wasted students who aren't even always regulars to the student section but who are boisterous and loud enough to get those around them to join in; chants spread like wildfire. I also agree with Schafer when it comes to the need for more creativity and I agree with the general discussion here that the energy in the section as a whole has diminished over the past few years. I remember coming to games growing up and having sustained, steady Let's go Red chants for long, impactful lengths of time. Even my first game as a student (which was covid era and a half full student section) had more cohesion and unity among the chants in the section - probably because there were still students left from pre-Covid. But now we can't even manage a "let's go red" chant for more than 15 seconds.

So I get it. I get the frustration about lack of creativity and the pointlessness of basic chants with just profanity. But at the same time, I don't see how removing Hey Song, moves us any closer towards a more creative and/or traditional student section. So here's to hoping it's a one time thing only due to the sheer number of F U chants on Saturday/pressure from ECAC and not a permanent shift in the mindset of Schafer. As it's one of the few remaining cohesive chants of the entire student section and the favorite of basically all the players I've heard interviewed, it'd be a shame to lose that tradition. I'm hoping Schafer thanking our ability to "adapt" means it is a temporary shift and not something ECAC will prohibit going into next regular season. I guess we will see if they let the band play it at lake placid

Quote from: pmbblblawAnyone know where the Cornell fan section will be at Lake Placid this year?

Idk.... But I'll be there
