Quote from: VIEWfromK on August 14, 2026, 01:09:55 PMI believe two years ago they played Princeton in a scrimmage instead of Red/White.  They typically play two scrimmage/exhibition games against an opponent before the season instead of one.  I started looking back at the recent schedules and that's been the case for at least back to the pandemic.  They didn't list the Princeton scrimmage on the schedule from Syer's first season but I know it was part of the ticket package.  Right?  I just wondered why this year was different and if it was because of the extra regular season game?

Sorry, I am too lazy to don't have time to look, but I recall elsewhere on this forum that the Ivy game limit got bumped up last year to 30 -- sort of.  It's actually 29 if you play two exhibitions (as Cornell and most of the rest of the Ivies have historically done), or 30 if you only play one.

I assume this is "biennial".  "Biannual" is twice a year.  But good to hear they're continuing this.

Hell if I know.  I use my phone as a PHONE.  (And my cane as a cane...)

Quote from: stereax on April 15, 2026, 01:26:53 AMalso humble request to any cornell hockey affiliated people that may be reading this forum: today (04/15) is my birthday. woot, or something. idk. i'm already in hell with assignments because i have two essays due today that i haven't started yet, plus i've got three hours of makeup classes in the afternoon that ensure i'll get home no earlier than 7 pm, absolutely drained and in no mood to do anything except curl up in bed and cry myself to sleep. and i don't even have a cake or anything like that to "celebrate". AND the devils are bad and got shut out by the boston fucking bruins, but they're not bad enough to be in lottery range. so can you pretty please, with sugar on top, put a leash on any other possible pro signings/transfers out/whatever until tomorrow? because the cournoyer one was already a kick in the balls. please? i don't need any more reasons to be sad. life sucks enough already. thanks for your consideration. <3

Your birthday is Tax Day? Sorry, but that pretty much kills every imaginable vibe right there.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

Embellishment!

Quote from: ugarte on April 06, 2026, 02:03:36 PMSurprised DeSantis isn't in the portal unless he's ready to move on too.

DeSantis is out of eligibility. Wallace missed a season due to injury so he can play a fifth year as a grad student.

Yep. I think Keopple and O'Brien (and Donaldson too but he's moving into a post-hockey career) are also eligible as they didn't play more than whatever amount of games in a season - both only had 2 games one of their years.

I'm pretty sure Keopple is out of eligibility.  It's not just "games played" -- he suited up and was on the bench for pretty much every game of his career that he didn't play in.

As for O'Brien, he was injured at some point and did only play one game as a freshman, but I'm thinking he didn't miss the entire rest of that season due to injury.  I'm pretty sure he was on the roster and "available" but didn't crack the starting lineup.  Besides that, the one game he did play that year was on Feb. 4, about 3/4 of the way into the season.  IIRC, if you played any games during a season you're claiming as a medical redshirt due to injury, you have to have played less than some small number of games, and they also have to have been during the first some-percentage-of-the-season (50%, maybe?)

That's a shame. Perhaps LIU could replace them. Or Stonehill. Both geographic and competitive fits.

Hamden is a geographic fit too. 

Been there, done that.  Q was in Atlantic Hockey and its predecessor, the MAAC, for seven years.  You'll find this hard to believe, but they were a top-two seed every year and produced... one championship.

Quote from: Jim Hyla on March 26, 2026, 10:05:13 AMLove how he was First Team All-American, but only Second Team ECAC and Ivy.

I don't even have to look this one up -- to this day I can still remember that first-team all-Ivy was Grant Blair (bullshit) and first-team all-ECAC was Tom Draper (what??)

With the QF series win, Cornell has now beaten Harvard four times in a single season -- only the second time that has happened.  The other time was 2009-10, and the Big Red went on to win the ECAC tournament.

I could also mention at this point that the only time Harvard ever beat Cornell four times in the same season was 1993-94, and the Crimson won the ECAC tournament that year -- but really, why would anyone bring that up?

Quote from: Will on March 16, 2026, 02:41:03 PMI believe it's something like: "Cantab" is short for "Cantabrigian", which is a term derived from the original Latin name for "Cambridge".  This originally referred to the Cambridge in the UK but has been expanded to include Cambridge, Massachusetts.  And Harvard is (largely) located in Cambridge, MA.  So "Cantab" is a singular nickname for "someone who sucks."

"To be a real Cantabrigian, you've got to like to..."

Quote from: Give My Regards on March 01, 2026, 12:34:05 PMQuinnipiac's four goals against Harvard last night put their ECAC total at 102.  Q becomes the first team with 100 goals in league play since St. Lawrence did it in the 1996-97 season.

Their 3rd Best Offense in the last 4 seasons.  However, order has been restored to the universe.

Ironically in a season without a shutout

Yet.

We have gone this late twice before and still kept the streak alive, the 2011 ECAC SF and the 2014 ECAC QF game 3.

I was going to mention that.  But then I was also going to mention that both those years the Big Red promptly lost their next game and ended their season, so I decided to shut up.
