In (distant) past years I would be able to get the non-travel partner part of the ECAC schedule the fall before the season. And I was allowed to post it around January 1.

But with the new administration that has not been possible,

I've sent another email to see if it might have changed.

Quote from: arugula on May 11, 2026, 02:45:08 PMI always liked, as many of us did, that Roberston fessed up and "blamed" his parents when he transferred--"can't ask my parents to keep paying this tuition."  That's just a much more politic, and charming, response to the question, 

That's not even "blaming" though - it's just "money, currently, matters to the family". Which I think many of us can relate to! Especially given how damn much Cornell costs, and that Ivies don't give scholarships to athletes.

Be careful how you say this. Ivies don't give Athletic Scholarships, but they do give scholarships to athletes and many receive them.

Here's NY Times report that says shorthanded, but misses that it was 2 men down.

NY Times

Here's Fandom Ice Hockey which has the best description, stating 2 men down.

Fandom

And here's Fandom's quote:

QuoteA minute later Cornell's Westner was sent to the box and followed soon after by Gordon Lowe to give Clarkson a 5-on-3 man advantage. Rather than see Clarkson capitalize on their opportunity, the crowd got to witness Lodboa skate from end to end through the entire Clarkson team and score one of the most spectacular goals in NCAA history. The goal, which would ultimately prove to be the game-winner, was Lodboa's fourth shorthanded tally of the year, a new NCAA record, and the only 3-on-5 goal in any Championship Game.[28] Just over five minutes later, with a player from each side in the box, Lodboa got his third goal of the night to complete a hat-trick, the first natural hat-trick in Championship Game history and the only ever hat-trick by a defenseman.

And of course the box score shows the 2 penalties that we took.

And for those that may be new, or forgot, the shorthanded goal is pictured in the series of photos on Bartel's walls.

One hell-of-a-game!

Hat trick

Quote from: George64 on May 02, 2026, 11:32:48 AMNCAA Championship at Lake Placid. RIP Danny Lodboa, Johnny Hughes, Harry Orr . . .

What the announcer doesn't tell you is that Lodboa had a natural hat trick (All three goals in a row. No one else scores in between.) in the third period. In the video his first goal was a PP to go from a 3-3 tie to us up 4-3. The second, where the announcer says he seems to like open ice, was a 2 MAN DOWN PK for the game winner 5-3 (Clarkson scored their fourth later). And the final nail was even strength, for a 6-3. The final Clarkson goal with 6:31 remaining made the final score 6-4.

Thanks for pulling that Box Score up. I always get a flutter when I see it.

No,I don't think you erased anything. For the last couple of years I've not been able to get the "early warning schedule" from my source

For sure I'll post as soon as I can, or if anyone gets word from other schools, like OOC games, please post. The question of number of games, particularly for Ivy schools, may cause late posting as well.

Gee, thanks

Quote from: stereax on March 29, 2026, 05:53:34 PMThe "Screw BU" song turns into "Let's Go Blue".

Actually that's probably the original version.  I believe BU then adopted it as "Go BU", to which we responded "Screw BU".  Although, TBH, the BU version may have come first and Michigan adopted it.

We added the "XXX, too" at the ECAC tournament at the Boston Garden in 1981.

I have no idea about the history lol, I just know it as the Screw BU song.

(My BU friend, referring to this chant: You're obsessed with us for some reason and we don't even think about you more than every other year.)

I think your friend has this incorrect. We use the BU cheer to remember the past, but really to poke at the current team we're facing. I doubt any fan, but a few of us, thinks anything about BU when the cheer goes up.

I like to think of it as Screw BU (You left us) and whomever we are now playing.

Quote from: adamw on March 26, 2026, 09:30:14 PMDartmouth was pretty bad for most of that time.

4-team NCAA Tournament for 30+ years. The only way to make it was to reach the championship game of the ECAC Tournament. Unless you were 1978 BU.

Or the 1966 BU team that lost to us in the semis and got to go to the NCAAs instead of us.

Natyshak - O'Brien
MacFarlane - Castagna
Gage - O'Brien
Shippel - Kraft
Schafer - Walsh
Oates - Syer
Dadswell - Cournoyer
Nieuwendyk - Cournoyer

Many will have disputes with the last two, but when you get named as ECAC GOTY it's hard not to list him.

Sure we had a good back up, but does anyone think that we'd have gotten as far without him?

Quote from: Trotsky on March 28, 2026, 07:01:28 AMI'm kinda serious about renaming the award(s). ... The award namesakes may have grandkids born before you, and the percentage of fans who know them drops every year due to... waivers.

Dadswell -- I think you should change Freshman to First Year Player and then name it after the most obvious, most important first year player-Dryden. No one comes close. I don't think it matters that he played so long ago, everybody that will participate will obviously know him.

Love how he was First Team All-American, but only Second Team ECAC and Ivy.

Quote from: adamw on March 25, 2026, 12:33:50 PMFYI heard today that Cornell got in Monday to give themselves extra time to acclimate. Not sure how much difference it will make - but at least they're doing all they can.

Flight tracking says they got in Tuesday night. (I wonder how many nonstop flights there have ever been from Ithaca to Loveland on any kind of plane.)

I'm sorry - I meant Tuesday - which was a deal earlier than I was assuming. My mind is scrambled trying to keep track of what day it is - with different Regionals starting different days.

deal,day?--Scrambled mind-No editor

And by the way, different regionals, different days is not an excuse. That's been true for a while, now the day off, that's a different story.

We forgive you, if you just keep working!

grrr - yeah it's been that way - but now they start on Thursday instead of Friday - bleh

Yeah, you got me on that Thursday thing. I guess that qualifies as different days.

Quote from: George64 on March 24, 2026, 08:45:24 PMFun fact: Denver played an indirect role in Cornell's ascension to hockey greatness.  Ned Harkness was a good friend of Murray Armstrong, head coach at Denver.  The Ferguson twins, Doug and Dave, and younger brother Bobby, from Birsay, Saskatchewan, were interested in playing for Denver, but Armstrong thought they were too small and referred them to Ned.  The rest is history. 

Doug, 5-8 and 175, centered a line with Dave 5-8, 165, and Mike Doran, 5-7, 160.  Doug scored 91 goals in his three seasons and was a two-time All-American.  Dave was captain in his senior year, culminating in Cornell's penultimate NCAA Championship.  Cornell only played Denver twice in that three-year span, losing both games at Denver in the 1965-66 season, but that was 60 years ago.

Let's go Red!

Thanks George, I had forgotten that tidbit.

Unfortunately they also lost to them 4-3 in 1969 NCAA Finals, Dryden's last game in CU uniform.
