Quote from: stereax on May 26, 2026, 01:43:26 PMNow who are the As gonna be... I want to say Catalano gets one? And maybe they hit one of our transfer sophomore Dmen (Fisher or Ashton) with one? Rest of the senior class is Kraft, Devlin, Fegaras. Could also see Kraft getting one a la FFJOL.
I'd be cool with that!
Whoever they choose will be a great Assistant!

    Much has been written about the effects of the transfer portal on midmajors. I agree with the general premise that the portal is horrible for midmajors at large, but this does not seem to be the case for the Ivies in hockey. Now that the 2026 men's hockey portal has closed, I looked at the portal the past 3 seasons and tallied all non-graduating seniors who transferred out of the Ivies (meaning they did not transfer to a different Ivy).

    2024: 1 total
    • Ryan Bottrill, Brown-->Clarkson

    2025: 3 total
    • Max Scott, Brown-->Maine
    • Lawton Zacher, Brown-->Northeastern
    • Ben Robertson, Cornell-->Michigan

    2026: 2 total
    • Alexis Cournoyer, Cornell-->Wisconsin
    • Alex Pineau, Brown-->Northeastern
Note: I'm not sure if Pineau is graduating in three years or is going to Northeastern for his senior year.[/list]


In total, six players transferred out of the Ivies in the past three seasons: four from Brown, two from Cornell. Zero players transferred out of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Dartmouth.

Notably, in these last three seasons, four Ivies have undergone a coaching change: Brown, Yale, Cornell, and Princeton. Six total players leaving is a remarkable lack of turnover given the coaching changes and the fact many of these programs have badly struggled.

Also notable is that the six players who left were all very strong players with big minutes who jumped to a "better" program. Not a single weaker player left an Ivy searching for more playing time. While it is true that these six players jumped to a better program, overall these players make up a tiny fraction of the good players in the Ivies. Consider that none of Dartmouth's star players transferred out, and none of Harvard twenty or so draft picks the past three seasons transferred out.

On the whole, I do not view losing players to the portal as a big issue for the Ivies. Cornell can and should retain virtually all their players, given HYPD lost zero across three seasons despite having some very good players.

The flipside is the fact teams like Wisconsin, Northeastern, et al can bring in more players than the Ivies. This does indirectly disadvantage the Ivies, but these bigger programs also tend to lose good players more often than do the Ivies.

On net, it is true that the bigger conference schools on average benefit more from the portal than do the Ivies, but the Ivies are barely hurt at all. And Cornell, Dartmouth, and Brown have brought in some pretty good transfers themselves (whereas HYP cannot bring in transfers).

Thus, while much has been written about the current climate of college sports making it more difficult for the midmajors, if you zero in on Ivy League hockey* with respect to the transfer portal, things have not changed very much.

*I only looked at men's hockey, but from what I can tell women's hockey is the same.


Great summary and detail!
Thanks for the info
