Enjoy this article.

As colleges and universities grapple with AI, cheating must be taken seriously, Serrano said. "We cannot afford to have a society in which a significant fraction of our best young minds think that cheating is OK," he said. "That leads to a declining society, to a failed society ... We cannot choose to become idiots."

RPI actually has 9 incoming freshmen.
I'll take fourth! (Especially on a "lighter" year.)
I wouldn't take fourth in the ECAC. Also our number is much lower than most teams in B10, HE, and NCHC. The good news though is that Puck Preps is, I assume, totally unreliable.
I don't subscribe to Puck Preps, so I cannot comment on how reliable it is. I do think that calculating a number for each player and then simply adding them up may not be the best thing to do. For example, It is important to factor in how the recruit fills a hole in the team's lineup.

BTW, there are 14 schools in other leagues ranked higher than any ECAC school.
On the other hand, other league teams can usually attract higher-end NHL talent. Cornell isn't going to do that as a matter of fact.

I also did mark the doubleheaders with the women's team (that we know of). If you're planning to come to the men's game that day, would highly recommend doubleheading it. Heck of a good time.

Quote from: Chris '03 on July 06, 2026, 03:27:30 PMMaine announced a 33 game schedule last week.

Bangor Daily News notes that the 34th game is the as of yet unannounced game at MSG.

Yep, sounds like it's Maine for sure, but I'm not confirming it in our schedule until Maine or Cornell does.

July means only 3.5 months until Cornell hockey is back.

About 2 for NHL hockey, for the curious.

Real dog days of the offseason coming up, after free agency and all.

Quote from: ugarte on July 03, 2026, 05:17:20 PMhe's going to keep getting asked about it and he's going to keep answering questions. you're probably not going to like most of his answers. tbh after a great opening couple of months - and despite the possible issues we're going to have at goalie this year - i didn't think he was all that good second semester.

I agree. He's good but never took over a game for us. Bon Voyage. No way for us to know what was going on in the locker room, but I kinda call BS on a 'no french' rule.

i think bernie ran the stats with me once and after the first 10 games or so he was worse than shane last year...

From the article itself it sounds like there wasn't a "no French" rule, that was the headline for clickbait. Cournoyer in the article said more that (presumably?) some of the other guys(?) were calling him and XV "Frenchies" (and presumably related shit) when they'd talk in French, so they stopped doing it. Which... again, Casey is a Francophone too, I severely doubt there was a rule or anything like that.

and ngl like... considering much of the shit that goes down in hockey locker rooms, this is what you took offense to? like fr my own father says worse shit about my mom and i speaking polish around him, you can't be that damn sensitive right, isn't like 90% of quebecois identity "fuck the english speakers we don't care what they say allez les habs"?

Quote from: ursusminor on July 02, 2026, 12:53:37 PMIt's nice that JosephHyday is spamming just one thread with many posts rather than a lot of threads with one post per thread.  ;D
Manageable spam load for the offseason, haha.

(Hoping by next season that we figure out spam filters and can reopen the signups.)

Just like our French speaking coach.

Article in French about Cournoyer.

He seems to be claiming that the rest of the team didn't like it when he and Veilleux spoke in French to each other? And then the headline of course spins it into "he didn't have the right".

3 years, 1.85M AAV, apparently.

Is it a two way deal or NHL deal?  The Ducks lost Jeff Viel today so Malott should be able to step right into that role.
Seems like a pure NHL deal. AAV that high doesn't go two-way from experience.

Quote from: BearLover on June 26, 2026, 10:52:10 PMWho changed their number besides DiGiulian?
Hiscock took DiGiulian's number.

Also, 60. I want to vomit. Like Castagna, Rousseau better be worth it 😭


Ashton also moved to 11.

This amount of number changing should be illegal.

Quote from: VIEWfromK on June 30, 2026, 06:00:52 PMHas anyone heard if there is a Racker or Alumni game this summer?  All of my Internet searches just talk about last year's game.  Thanks
I haven't heard anything yet, but if there is one and I can physically get in I'll be there 😂
