The Grand Forks Herald, in it's article yesterday, reported that they are coming to Lynah Jan 22-23, 2010.

I'm glad the team took my suggestion on travel ::drive::

We just picked up the paper copy here in Grand Forks, very exciting to read. Now onto this weekend's games!

We passed a prius with NY plates on I-29, the folks inside were wearing red, awesome somebody made the drive.

LGR!

When's the last time Cornell played a regular season game in the Central Time Zone?  [/quote]Badger Showdown in Dec. '98?[/quote]Correct.  Closest we've come since is those games in Kalamazoo.  I think the sun set at about 11pm those nights when we were out there.

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.[/quote]

The comparison to the trip to BU Nov 24-25, 2001 holds up.

That map is fantastic. I never would have thought that we have played more games in Princeton than Cambridge, or more games at BC than BU for that matter.

is it possible that we can play a NC series in jan like that?  perhaps it is dec?

There's no rule about it, it just can't interfere with the firmly scheduled ECAC stretch run that starts in late January.  Some recent January NC games:

2008: Niagara (2)
2007: Sacred Heart
2006: RIT
2001: Quinnipiac
2000: @ Maine, @ Ohio State, Western Michigan (2)

[mnagowski]

Speaking of which, Providence College is west of Brown, no?

If only someone could make up unique two-letter abbreviations for all the Division I hockey schools...

For that matter, shouldn't Providence be PRO rather than PRN?  Or else Princeton should be something other than PRN.

I am open to geographical suggestions and changes in the abbrev's, though (even from John).  Providence was a mistake, it should be PRV (PC would probably be even better, thinking about it).  Mercyhurst has the Merrimack problem.  The general philosophy is from the Shea Stadium out of town scoreboard abbreviations from the mid 70's (e.g., PGH not PIT, MTL not MON).  That's why PRN not PRI, HVD not HAR.

A stupid question, but how come Alaska-Anchorage is not on there?

Ah.  Now I begin to understand where you went wrong...
