Quote from: Al DeFlorio on November 16, 2025, 06:45:38 PMVery nice piece today by 1968 BC alum Bob Ryan in the Boston Globe on Dryden and Princeton basketball great Bill Bradley.  Refers to the 2009 symposium at Cornell that Jeremy Schaap hosted with the two of them.  Behind a paywall, unfortunately, but I was able to read it in print.

Possibly dumb question: Do you just spray water on the existing surface to make it thicker or is it better to melt the ice and start fresh?

You are?

Sorry, don't look at my phone much during the game, but I finally made it up for a game this season. Gritty win; good to see. Agree with dag14 that the team seemed to looked a step slow and also wondered if there might be some illness, but this is the first time I'm seeing them in person so it's hard for me to tell. Colgate is also a step above the previous opposition this season. Need to take care of business the rest of the semester and they should be in good shape going into the break.

This is not a very pleasing game but at least I'm at Lynah.

Quote from: BearLover on November 14, 2025, 06:01:43 PMThe small roster is baffling. It's not like we had any surprising departures in the offseason.

I think Caroline Chan is the only non-senior from last season's team not on this season's roster. Related, I have been curious about whether Sarah MacEachern might have done anything to try to get an extra season of Ivy eligibility since she's missed so much time to injury.

Quote from: upprdeck on November 12, 2025, 05:01:11 PMI got confirmation the Dryden pregame event will be just after the national anthems at 7.

I wonder if this means that they'll stream it or that they'll just delay the start of the ESPN+ broadcast.

Just got around to reading this email from the athletics department:

QuoteCornell Athletics invites you to Lynah Rink on Friday, November 14 at 7 PM as we celebrate the life and legacy of legendary goaltender Ken Dryden '69 during our ECAC Hockey home opener against Brown.

A two-time All-American and the backbone of Cornell's 1967 national championship team, Dryden's impact reaches far beyond his Hall of Fame playing career with the Montreal Canadiens. His leadership, character, and excellence helped shape the foundation of Cornell Hockey and continue to inspire generations of Big Red student-athletes.

The evening will feature a special pregame tribute, including a video celebration of Dryden's life and legacy, a ceremonial puck drop with members of his Sigma Phi Society fraternity, and the debut of a helmet decal featuring his iconic silhouette — a symbol synonymous with one of the sport's most distinctive goaltending stances. Members of the Dryden family, including his wife Lynda, will be in attendance.

The NCAA seems to track only faceoff win leaders (and not faceoff winning percentage), as far as I can tell, but I did the math and Mckenna Van Gelder is winning 70 percent of her faceoffs (104/148). Just by eyeballing, looks like it puts her around the top 5 or so in the country.

I guess this thread is as good as any other place? Fall 2026 commit Jillian McLaughlin (F) was just named to the U.S. roster for the U18 worlds in January.

Quote from: imafrshmn on November 01, 2025, 06:09:18 PMIs there a historical precedent for Cornell away jerseys with numbers in front?

I just found this photo of what I assume was the home jersey from 1945.

I really had no idea what to expect from the offense coming into this season, so it's been great to see how everyone is contributing. Well-deserved week off coming up.

I think this is the first time a Derraugh team has started 6-0, amazingly. There has usually been an early season loss or tie even in the best seasons.

Curtis, Perron-Roy and Avar.

Quote from: stereax on October 28, 2025, 06:42:29 PMBand's here, btw. Nice touch.

Quote from: stereax on October 28, 2025, 09:17:00 PM5-0 victory. We had a 3 on 5 at the end of the game and we killed it, yay! Bergmann shutty, yay! Adam took a bad block and looked hurt... not yay. Hoping she's okay.

Adam was not with Katie for long

I didn't see her play a shift after that block, and when she came out at the end to do the salute she still looked unhappy. Hoping they just kept her out preventatively.

On the broadcast, Jason mentioned that she took a late shift. But I was scrolling on my phone so did not see if that was accurate.

I took a spin through the PWHL training camp rosters, and I think I got all the alums:
Jillian Saulnier, Boston
Marlene Boissonnault, Minnesota
Kristin O'Neill, New York
Jamie Bourbonnais, New York
Micah Zandee-Hart, New York
Brianne Jenner, Ottawa
Rory Guilday, Ottawa
Lily Delianedis, Seattle
Izzy Daniel, Vancouver
Katie Chan, Vancouver (she is signed with a pro team in Sweden but is taking part in camp)
