ECAC 2025

[dbilmes]

We're not the only ECAC team dealing with a lot of costly injuries this season. It sounds like Syer has had it even worse in his first year at Princeton.

I did not note this fun little fact.

No member of the All-ECAC First Team came from #1 Quinnipiac.

A lot of green and gold though.

I found the awards lists yesterday. Bancroft got 2nd team ECAC, and Rego 3rd team ECAC.  QU had 2 players on the 2nd team, and that's it.

For the Ivy awards, Ryan Walsh was one of two unanimous members of the All-Ivy 1st team, and Rego also made the 1st team. Bancroft made All-Ivy 2nd team.  Sullivan Mack was named to the Academic All-Ivy Team.

Surprising that Dartmouth had no first-teamers.

I have started to wonder how this Bruins reset might impact a guy like Walsh?  I don't necessarily think he's ready to turn pro just yet but could he be by the end of next season?

I severely doubt he'd jump directly from Ithaca to Boston. Would spend a year or so in Providence first, almost assuredly. And if you're only signing after your junior year, there's no real reason to not finish your degree/collegiate career, especially if you're at an Ivy. That being said, let him play his junior year first and reassess him then. While he's one of the best players on the Big Red, that doesn't necessarily translate to the pro leagues.

I see him as similar to Angello and Barron as potentially leaving after his junior year.  Maybe Barron would have stuck around if not for the pandemic.  If Cornell had won it all maybe not.  By the end of next year Walsh may not have anything else to prove at the college level from a personal standpoint.  This offseason for the Bruins will be interesting.  Not sure if there's an appetite for a rebuild but if so they might want to get a head start on developing players like Walsh.

That's fair, yeah, but also: Angello was going to a Pens org that had just won back-to-back cups. Barron was headed to the Rags who lucked their way into Lafreniere and seemed to be perennial contenders. Walsh would be heading to a Bruins org already stripping for parts. We'll see how their rebuild goes, though.

Quinnipiac are going to be massive favorites next season. They are returning almost everyone and have at least five CHL studs coming in the fall. Everyone else in the conference (including Cornell) lost way too much to the portal/pros/graduation to compete with Quinnipiac.

Wishing everyone on here, even the haters, a wonderful spring and summer.

They have to get past the ECAC semis to win the ECAC.

I do think that the impact of CHL players might be getting overestimated at this point. I believe that the CHL is a much younger league which means that the overage guys are just racking up points on 16 year olds. Also the USHL is naturally much more similar to the college game than is the CHL. Don't get me wrong I would love for Casey to bring in a high scoring guy from the Q to fill one of our 12 holes but I think that CHL recruits won't prove to be much of an issue. And if they become one, they'll leave after their first good year in college because they're so old.
