Based on quotes from Jack Parker and Schafer around the time of the MSG game, I assume there will be a BU game on the schedule as part of the "3 year-agreement". Or do I perhaps remember something about it taking place over alternate years?

BU won't be on Cornell's schedule next year. The agreement was for a game at Agganis for the 2009-10 season and a game at Lynah for the 2010-11 season.

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification.

The agreement was for a game at Agganis for the 2009-10 season and a game at Lynah for the 2010-11 season.[/quote]My understanding is that that agreement had been changed to go back to MSG sooner in recognition of how successful the game was last November. I wish I could remember who told me that though.

In the '06-'07 season when the BU game was announced, Coach Schafer was quoted by USCHO about future series vs. BU, North Dakota and UNH. Has anybody heard anything recently about the latter two?

CowbellGuy · April 04, 2008, 12:26:55 PM

I'm probably the one who told you. I had heard that the game scheduled for Agganis in 2 years was being moved to MSG.

Parker's post-game comments alluded to this possibility. I don't believe anything official has been announced as of yet, though.

Since we're in rumorville: I heard we're playing 2 in Grand Forks the weekend after Thanksgiving on Friday and Saturday.

As in the day after Thanksgiving or 8 days after? Just curious - I've always wanted an excuse to go check out the Ralph...

Well, on the Sioux board there is talk, some saying for sure, that we are coming out after T'giving. I'd assume 11/28-29. We'll see.

My celebrity waiter at a fund raiser night in Burlington last week was Kevin Sneddon, the UVM coach. I congratulated him on his Coach of the Year award as well as his previous success making Union respectable.

Sneddon was a great guy and really friendly. When I asked him when we will get to see Cornell play UVM again, Sneddon said he really respects our program and would love to set that up, but our AD told him Cornell will never play them again since UVM went to Hockey East. :-(

As if we needed another reason to think Noel is an asshole.

I can't imagine Andy personally cares one way or the other about UVM's departure from the ECAC.

And personally, I think UVM is crap, their program will continue to win nothing in Hockey East just like they won nothing while they were in the ECAC, and we can do better for non-conference scheduling (e.g. more games with BU, tentative scheduling with UND).

By the way, they define "celebrity" differently in Vermont than they do here in NYC if Kevin Sneddon qualifies. ::demented::
