Quote from: scoop85 on Today at 08:25:16 AMA rather dominant 3-0 win at Marist to open the season. It took awhile for the team to find its legs, but after the 1st 10 minutes it was pretty much all Big Red. The transfer goalie from South Carolina got the start, and while he didn't have much work he did make a fantastic save off a free kick late in the 2nd half when we were up 2-0. Next up is the home opener against UCSB in a few days.

i watched most of the first half and they looked very good. really impressive ball control which wasn't always a strength.

What I'm learning ... preseason team workouts that use 3rd parties, often run by ex-Navy Seals, have become very common across the NCAA, across all sports. They use them as team bonding exercises. There's dozens of companies that do this.

This is how Tiger Woods apparently injured his knees and back (running in army boots) and the Pirates had spring training exercises run by a Navy SEAL that got Gregory Polanco injured. Everything is gender.

Quote from: George64 on August 25, 2026, 03:49:01 PMI don't see Meyer Shapiro listed on the 2026-27 roster.  What's up?

Portal to Nebraska

there was apparently a falling out between shapiro and the coaching staff that couldn't be remedied. he's taking a gap year and coming back to wrestle for nebraska in 2027.

Season preview later but some updates on the incoming class.

Isaiah Cortez (USA) and Alessio Perentin (Italy by way of NJ) wrestled at the U20 World Championships in Bratislava over the weekend.

Cortez took silver at 57kg, beating China, Kazakhstan and Uzbekhistan before falling to Russia in the final. Cortez was the silver medalist in Greco last year and is the first dual-discipline medalist for the USA at the U20 championships.

Perentin took 5th at 74kg, losing to eventual silver medalist Jayden James (USA/Penn State) in the main bracket. In repechage, Perentin beat Slovakia and Belarus before losing to Kazakhstan in the bronze medal match.

At the U17 championships last month, '31* Arseni Kikiniou didn't place in either Greco (0-1) or freestyle (1-1). He medaled in both disciplines last year so I'm sure this was a disappointing result.

* maybe '32; he's a HS senior.

arguing on the internet is in the grand tradition of the internet but actually caring about uniform numbers is sicko behavior

Quote from: BearLover on June 26, 2026, 10:52:10 PMWho changed their number besides DiGiulian?

Hiscock took DiGiulian's number.

Also, 60. I want to vomit. Like Castagna, Rousseau better be worth it 😭

Ashton also moved to 11.

This amount of number changing should be illegal.

Numbers ought to be proportional to name length.  Zadvernyuk getting 7 is visually criminal

Defenders simply cannot wear number 11

the number that looks like prison bars? sure they can.

Quote from: BearLover on August 20, 2026, 04:52:36 PMRPI student season tickets cost $50, or $3.30 per game. How many more students would attend Cornell hockey games if they were that cheap?

RPI, famously a really good team right now,

Yes but, this is mostly an exercise to see how many more students we could get to come just from reducing prices

i absolutely think student tickets should be heavily subsidized. bl is very right about this one. offer the available seats for non season ticket holders by lottery. something to make sure the house is always packed. even the casuals will get loud if the game is close.

Cornell now up 3-0

Quote from: BearLover on August 20, 2026, 02:32:48 PMIn determining how optimistic we should be, for these twins, just like most of our 16- and early-17-year-old commitments, there's no real information to rely on. It's pure wait-and-see. That's just how it is unless the kid is on the USNTDP or was taking in the first round of a junior hockey draft or something to that effect.

incorrect i choose to get excited about the fact that the school targeted a player(s) and the player(s) chose cornell. i will then get angry at what a disappointing failure they are later if they don't crush it.

No sense that they are going to be particularly good or anything but I noticed that they have a game against the Bonnies on ESPN+ (currently having technical difficulties) and I wanted to post something about watching actual Cornell sports. I very nearly got to!

No score, ~10 minutes in.

Quote from: marty on August 12, 2026, 03:51:05 AMI'm very confused.  How many coaches,  assistant coaches, associate coaches and ersatz coaches are there on Cornell's staff? Are any of the current staff unpaid?

The Director of Hockey Operations is not an actual coach - when players go on recruitment visits and showcases they are the ones who give the tours.  It is an important role but they are not ( to my knowledge) on the bench actually coaching a whole lot.their role is administrative and logistical.  They sometimes also are given the title of assistant coach so that when there are showcases that none of the actual coaches can/want to attend, they send that person and call him a coach.

it is also a resume builder for a coach-in-training because you learn about the administrative responsibilities of program management and the details of what teams want out of their video program.

oh damn LIU is a small (and convenient) gym. right near the dekalb q/b. cornell oesn't strike me as a game they'd play at barclay's.
