So Merrimack was wrong? Updating.

I wonder if it's possible that Merrimack is lined up for an exhibition game?

RIT's schedule lists them at Lynah on Dec. 5.

Quote from: Trotsky on June 19, 2026, 03:26:26 PMGoalie for the USMNT at the World Cup is a Harvard alumnus.

Go USA but, as you know, Harvard sucks.

spent 1 year there, don't know about alumnus. But pretty cool to say we got to see him playing in Ithaca

He got his degree.

Even so, alumnus merely means former student; without the degree, "graduate" would've been improper, but not alumnus. Hahvahd in particular may not love people without degrees holding themselves out as Hahvahd alumni, but they certainly don't mind Bill Gates's and Mark Zuckerberg's donated millions.

I knew someone was going to point this out

Wrong link  Did you mean this one?

Draft was kind of dominated by a half-dozen schools (and the Swedish league). Will be interested to see if Laura Fortino winds up in camp with Hamilton.

Quote from: Weder on June 11, 2026, 02:29:12 PMIn ancient times, the ECAC scheduled women's conference games on Saturdays and Sundays, so a very, very small handful of people could opt to spend the whole weekend at Lynah a few times a season.

Opponent's women play Sunday in Ithaca, that can be a long bus ride home (Dartmouth, Harvard, Brown). OTOH, the team doesn't miss many Friday classes. I am having a hard time remembering how many Friday classes I had, but it may be remembering how many Friday pm classes I got to. Back in the day, the Cornell Sun played some touch football games at the Yale Princeton Dartmouth etcetera papers Saturday morning and I thought that took priority.

There was a brief period when Niagara and Maine were in the ECAC women's league at the same time. Talk about a bus ride!

Quote from: The Rancor on June 16, 2026, 10:23:01 AMJust switch majors.

From the Ag School's website (since that's where most hockey players are):
Requests to delay graduation for the purpose of changing a major will not be approved.

The other, more complicated route would be transferring to a different college.

Quote from: TimV on June 15, 2026, 08:30:02 AMCan we get 5 seasons out of a player by lightening the credit hour load?

It would be tough for hockey since the season spans both semesters. I think there's a process for taking nine semesters to graduate, but it would be much more difficult to persuade them to give you 10. I don't know what the current rules are, but when I was there you also had to be making substantial progress toward graduating in eight semesters after your sophomore and junior years. (My student job was in a college registrar's office, so I learned a lot about graduation requirements.)

Quote from: billhoward on June 12, 2026, 11:51:17 AMIn favor of there being a 2026 Frozen Apple (ie even-year) MSG game: There is nothing else scheduled at MSG for Thanksgiving Saturday (if you see the Rockettes, unclick all the MSG properties until you only have the MSG main arena). Google says the Cornell-Quinnipiac 3-3 tie drew 16,593, the largest attendence for 2024-25 college hockey.

That season's national championship game beat that by a few hundred (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/box/final/20250412/wmu/bu_/) but it's still an impressive number.

The Rangers are pretty likely to have an afternoon game that day once the NHL schedule comes out.

True but that's usually the case.  Ranger game in the afternoon, Cornell game at night.  Of course it's happening.

Yup, that's what I meant.
