Quote from: BearLover on April 28, 2026, 03:18:03 PMOn net, it is true that the bigger conference schools on average benefit more from the portal than do the Ivies, but the Ivies are barely hurt at all. And Cornell, Dartmouth, and Brown have brought in some pretty good transfers themselves (whereas HYP cannot bring in transfers).

Maybe said earlier and I didn't pick up on it, but is there a policy at HYP that proscribes inbound transfers for athletics, or do you mean that the student transfer bar is so high at those schools that in practice the hockey programs cannot expect to bring in players via the portal?

BL, by "fact" I assume Adam means he's heard it from someone in a position to know and that Adam trusts. I think Adam has earned plenty of goodwill over the years and I'm very willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Same place as last time!

That's inspired repurposing of the prior Ramada Plaza's sign:

Adam, I think you said you have an article in the works. Will you have anything you can say in it about what the Ivy schools or coaches are doing, if anything, to adapt to the changing landscape?

May I suggest the biathlon experience: https://mtvanhoevenberg.com/todo/discover-biathlon/

I did that with the family a few years ago and enjoyed it. We were planning on spending a chunk of the day cross country skiing anyways, so it was a good deal for us.

A humble request to all: This is a Cornell hockey focused forum. Let's leave politics out of it so it doesn't devolve into another "social" space on the internet ruined by political fights.

Heading into the St. Lawrence game (2/27/2026) Cornell had the second lowest goals allowed per game in the nation at 1.99 according to CHN (at that'll tick down a bit with the win). Yet the team has not had a shutout. Cornell has had at least one shutout each season as far back as the 95-96 season (Schafer's first). I got tired of looking at season records so streak could go back even longer.

In case you missed that goal!... well, you still missed it. 

Quote from: ugarte on February 22, 2026, 01:41:35 PMdoesn't seem like it would be that hard to set up video - i'm sure they record practices.

also doesn't seem like it would be that hard for either team to post highlights from the denver game!

That Cuse Crease account does the best college lacrosse condensed game videos I've found. Smooth, high resolution video and no watermark.

Does anyone know where the farm rink is (roughly, I'm not trying to pay a visit :-) )?

I thought the team had a good balance of choosing to shoot/choosing to pass on its offensive zone opportunities. From the start of the season it seems there's been an attitude to not forego quality shots for an attempt a pass and that it was generally working for the team. But over the last few games when the team stuggled I thought the pendulum had swung too far and the team was just shooting, taking some low quality shots when a clear passing lane was there to a teammate that would have a much better chance of scoring.

Maybe he shouldn't be our only FOGO for the entire game.

That must be 7-for-7. There's no way there was 14 faceoffs in the 4th quarter.

Quote from: BearLover on February 13, 2026, 11:06:03 AMWhat did JV squad mean at that point (early 90s)? Freshmen were part of the varsity team by then; I didn't realize there was a varsity/junior varsity distinction? Did JV just mean club team?

Cornell had a men's JV team -I know as I had a brief stint with it as one its goalies for what was it's last half season. It was shut down midseason over winter break between fall '94 and spring '95. A couple of times a recuperating varsity player skated with us in practice; they made most of the JV guys look like they were stuck in quicksand.

Quote from: Robb on February 08, 2026, 01:20:58 PMMy favorite rendition was (Ryan) Smart-(Alex) Dumas, a Dartmouth sieve, circa 1997.

I always enjoyed from my time [students point to our goale Parris Duffus] "Duffus!" [students point to opponent's goalie] "Doofus!"

Q slaps Brown silly, winning 9-1, yet drops a spot in the NPI. That's going to stick in Pecknold's craw.
