Syracuse roster has 22 of 45.  Aside from Spalinas(who might qualify as "rich kids" considering possible Gait Co NIL money) it is hardly "mostly" and probably reflective of the applicant pool of each school.

Quote from: stereax on May 18, 2026, 06:51:02 AMIn only somewhat related news, I've got FloHockey 24 on while I'm writing my fuckass final papers. It's not going well. Anyway, they're playing the same 3 or 4 games over and over again - a Maine Mariners one, the SPHL final with the Peoria Rivermen, the Charlotte Checkers' 8-spot versus Springfield, then there's a program where they talk about the '26 NHL draft and do a terrible mock of it... And there's also a fight compilation.

Guess whose name I alerted to, then rolled back to take a good look at my TV screen where he was busy jumping on someone twice his size in a scrum.

There's only one answer here.

Is he good at hockey?

Mmm, he's pretty solid at hockey, but he's no Caton Ryan.

Hint: ECHL game.

FFJOB?

I thought that they stole their name from Clarkson.

You're right Ralph.  Army is the BLACK knights.

Quote from: Al DeFlorio on April 26, 2026, 02:05:42 PMNot sure what's more of an embarrassment:  Having no west stands, or having those.

Most embarrassing: no bathrooms for the High Point game. I had to tell some HP fans/parents that they had to use the outhouse.

I do love the look of handrail rust drip on the Crescent on live TV.

Attention CUAA:  THERE'S a naming opportunity.  The Benjamin Moore Stadium Facing.

@ Al D. and Marty:
There were quite a few football guys on those Harkness teams. I mostly remember Ned's first team in 1966. There was Reeve (Ting) Vanneman now a professor at the University of Maryland.  He was a tackle in football, also famous for being one of the guys who attempted to block Princeton's Charlie Gogolak field goals by standing alongside another tackle,  both with defensive backs (Dale Witwer and Jim Dockerty) standing on their shoulders.  Doug Zirkle was a bear of a midfielder (think Hugh Kelleher only bigger) who was a tight end in football and the cocaptain on the 1966 lacrosse team.  Both, I think were All- Ivy in both sports.  Midfielder Bob Smith was a wide receiver in football.  Bill Finan, Jerry Dolan and I were just trying to avoid football's spring V-Program. V stood for voluntary, but it wasn't voluntary.  No real football then, just running and conditioning.  The only way out was to be in a spring sport, so...

Also, Harry Orr (Fan Favorite Harry Orr) was a great defenseman and key guy on Ned's hockey teams, so I don't buy the story that Ned threatened him if he didn't play lacrosse.

Voted.  No NCAA championship determined by tournament.

Also,  Harry Orr broke a goalie's ankle with that shot.  Dartmouth I think, on what was then lower alumni field.

Interesting that that Facebook page also relates Wisconsin losing a basketball player to Duke 

Yale is at home vs Albany.  Don't want dbilmes to miss it.

Hopefully our ball movement has kept Duke running enough for them to be gassed later.

2-1 end of 1st Q.  Lots of possession. too few goals.

Stickwork looks great today

In theory there is no AQ in ACC, since it's only a 5 team league.  In fact, they commonly get 3 AQs.

Seemed like the goal celly 5 ft from the Harvard bench was a bit... courageous. 

Quote from: martyThe incline was designed for a great view over the seat in front of you.  The height difference seemed to be between 30 and 36 inches - though it might be a bit less.  We were uncomfortable enough to eyeball the height.  Great for sight lines except when trying to see the far side same side faceoff circle. In addition the seats are too damn narrow.  My wife and are not wide but the friends we were with are.  I was cramped and skewed to the side as a result. My old man's spine suffered a bit.

Another companion stood for at least the third period. So at least the place was designed for adequate SRO.

I'm wondering if Jim Hyla and Tim V agree.

So THAT'S  why my wife went to watch the game from the rail. 

Quote from: DafatoneThere's a chance I'll have to be out of town on the regional weekend, so I am convinced we will wind up in Sioux Falls just to spite me.

Same for me if Albany.
