Yes, seating all the way. Capacity for hockey about 8500. Attendance Friday about 3300 according to USCHO, but arena looked and felt empty.  Plenty of places for good camera locations. Their pep band was big, loud, and sounded great.  They also had a cowbell, which they played to our traditional beat.

I'll be there.  Section H Row 7 Friday, Section G Row 24 Saturday

Q-Colgate seems like a long trip between games.  How about Q-RPI and Colgate-Union to split the difference.

Quote from: RichHSpeaking of jersey numbers, the font seems different this year. Specifically, the "3" is a little weird.

The numbers looked thicker.  I liked them- easier to see on the often too zoomed out camera work, and it added more red to the home jerseys.

Thread about missing West Stands now 2 years old Schoellkopf Field needs to be upgraded to Ivy Standards

Why are the benches set up at the 35 yard line instead of the usual midfield?

Has anybody seen Touchdown since Saturday???::cry::

Excellent. Difficult for poles to go over his head, Tall enough to see the field over the goaltender and cage when he's at X. Or can post him up 10 feet off the crease and send high feeds to drop down over the tender's shoulders.  Gotta muscle him up in the weight room.

Excellent.  At what point do we get the designation of "Attackman U?"

A sentiment only found in the JSID forum.

Not often noted by the ESPN announcers, but Coach Buczek acknowledges the Harkness teams, that went 35-1 in those 3 seasons.  Those seasons overlapped at times, so Ned was doing double duty:

To the Harkness Era Teams,

 

As we celebrate the tremendous achievement of our recent National Championship — a moment of pride for the entire Cornell community — it's important to take a step back and reflect on the deep roots that have made this program what it is today.

 

We owe a profound debt of gratitude to the men who wore the red and white in the mid- to late-'60s — the trailblazers of the 1966–68 teams — who laid the very foundation of Cornell Lacrosse's enduring excellence. Under the leadership of Coach Ned Harkness, those squads brought a new level of commitment, vision, and pride to Schoellkopf Field. They built the program's identity: tough, disciplined, and relentless — a standard we still hold ourselves to today.

 

It's easy, in the glow of recent victories and the emotional resonance of iconic figures like Richie Moran, George Boiardi, and Eamon McEneaney, for some chapters of our story to feel overlooked. But we want to be absolutely clear: there is no Cornell Lacrosse legacy without the 1966–68 teams. You were the spark that ignited decades of greatness. It took everyone one of us over the years to get to this point and we're so glad to finally return Cornell to the mountain top.

 

This championship — and every one that has come before — rests on the shoulders of giants. To those of you who gave your all in those formative years, please know that your contribution has not been forgotten. It lives on every single day in our program.

 

Best,

Connor Buczek

The Richie Moran Head Coach of Lacrosse

This is fabulous.::cheer:: Let's adopt this as a new (and original) chant for lacrosse this weekend.  And hockey in the fall.

We could even have the band play Davy beforehand! It'll be a hoot!

Oops.  Wrong quote. Was looking for  "NOT all your fault..."::blush::

Quote from: Jim HylaI'd love to see (hear) someone do a Post report. It seemed like half of Richmond's goals were hitting the post and in.

The goalie is not supposed to save those.

A silly mm off and those bounce out.

.

This isn't really true. A guy can shoot from 30 yards out and even if it goes in off the post, it should have been be stopped. Or, like we saw, a guy can shoot from a horrible angle off the post and in and that too should have been saved.

So basically you're saying that every shot should be stopped.

Then the logical extension of that is every goal against is the goalies fault.

I just don't buy that.

In lacrosse and hockey a very well placed shot goes in. If it's stopped, we bow to the goalie.

The goalie can't physically cover 100% of the goal 100% of the time. You just can't do that.

You play your angles and your percentages. If the shooter is able to pick that small spot that you can't cover, then it's a great shot.

You forget about it. Go on to the next play, realizing that if you play things correctly, you'll save X% of the shots.

But you can't save all of them.



And not everything is your fault.

"It's all your fault"

It's all your fault, it's all your fault!
