Cornell 3 Brown 2 Postgame Thread

For the last four years, at least, the playoffs have not fallen on the first weekend of break. Usually ECAC's are that weekend.

You may be surprised to take a look at last year's calendar, then. The quarterfinals were played at Union on the 14th and 15th of March, while spring break technically started on Saturday, the 15th of March (and of course we all know that it started a bit earlier in many student's minds.)

I'm certain there will be plenty of students still in the stands for the quarterfinals.

Finally, what's with the playoff series falling on the first weekend of spring break??

Don't the quarters typically fall on the first week of break? At least that's how it was when I was on East Hill.[/quote]Playoffs are determined by when the NCAAs begin. Come on, You're sounding like CU did this to you. They have no control.[/quote]
Well, strictly speaking Cornell did do this.  The administration should have the sense to plan the academic calendar around hockey. :-D

Playoffs were the first weekend of spring break in 2003, and ECACs were at the end. That was a pretty good year :-D
