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: jtwcornell91 on March 02, 2026, 10:59:05 AMI managed to code the old tie-breakers (in perl!) but I have not had the time or inclination to do anything with it since they changed the point system for 3x3 and shootouts.

And I miss you every late-February, man  :(

Quote from: Trotsky on March 02, 2026, 01:21:55 PMI am surprised about seats.  I thought all the new places were built for High Fructose Corn Syrup Americans like me.
Yep, it's the MAHA rink.

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.

Quote from: chimpfood on February 28, 2026, 11:20:21 PMDartmouth is 2 seed no? First tie breaker is head to head points

Yes.

1 Qpc
2 Drt
3 Cor
4 Prn

Adam, you know I love you, but not sorting by seed is no bueno.

I'd cut Adam some slack, since as of Sunday morning the ECAC site doesn't have it right either.

Cornell finishes 2nd as a result

Third, as Cornell and Dartmouth end up tied in the standings with the head-to-head tiebreaker going Dartmouth's way.
