Cornell to play two @ North Dakota

[JDeafv]

Apparently we got bumped from the schedule and UND is now playing a small liberal arts school in Iowa.

Completely random question:

When's the last time Cornell played a regular season game in the Central Time Zone?  We've done it plenty in the NCAAs because of our annoying habit of getting sent to western regionals.  I remember playing CC in the mid-90s in Colorado (an 11-0 drubbing in early 1995-96 IIRC, which was the basis for western teams to not taking us seriously) but that's the Mountain Time Zone.

Edit: the 11-0 loss to CC was at the Denver Tournament, Dec 27-28, 1995.  We beat Air Force 6-2 the next day.

I'll be driving through Cedar Rapids tomorrow on my way to Minneapolis, so I'll be sure to let them know they need to get a team to Grand Forks on the double. ::doh::

Trivia:  By my reckoning, WMU is the fourth-furthest-west place in the Eastern Time Zone to play a road D-I hockey game, after Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan (which are in the part of the Upper Peninsula that is on Eastern Time) and Notre Dame (which is in the part of Indiana that is on Eastern Time; South Bend appears to be about 25 miles west of Kalamazoo).  Huntsville, Alabama, slightly further west again than South Bend, is in the Central Time Zone.  Ferris State, in Big Rapids, Michigan, is just slightly east of WMU.

Yes, South Bend (Notre Dame) is on Central time is on Eastern time (when I first moved here, it was on Central time).  The big outlet mall 20 miles away is on Central time.
Indianapolis, Bloomington, Lafayette are on Eastern time.
I think the Evansville area is also on Central time.

The times zones in Indiana are very confusing (as indicated by the above edits)  ::screwy:: and changing them is debated every year. ::deadhorse:: (and that is just from living here 4.5 years!). It makes flying into/out of O'Hare complicated because you need to factor in traffic and time changes.

The Sioux hope there offense returns when they return to their home this weekend to host Cornell College.

I guess we know where the Sun alumni are working now.

We haven't even left for Grand Forks, and a comment on siouxsports says NoDak is coming to Lynah next season for a two game series in mid Jan. for a Fri-Sat set.

Mid January sounds like a good time for the return visit; we should have our post-exam legs back by then. It would suck if UND comes in the fall with an almost 4 week practice/game edge on us.

Wonder if that means Colgate will be in the fall again next season. Hope that "mid-Jan." is when students are back.

Ouch!!  Even I thought that was uncalled for.  :-D

Another report from siouxsports : The sioux had 2 tough practices this week as a result of the coaching staff being unhappy with the effort on the road this past weekend:

MILLER SAID - not happy with the showing last weekend and have had 2 hard days of practicing and working out. we arent getting bounces but that isnt why things arent going right. that they are getting outworked in specific areas and they have to create their own bounces to get good things going.

I was told by people who were in the arena this week that the practices were closed to the public. All the curtains were closed from the concourse to the ice. Employees were told not to look in. I was told that this is not normally the case. One guy did peek in and said it was a lot of back and forth skating and not much else.

I can't wait for this trip!

LGR!!!!

Actually Denver is in Mountain Time.
