Signs and Cheers for USA Under-18 Dev. Team

[crodger1]

[quote Jim Hyla][quote crodger1][quote ugarte][quote Josh '99]Or beer.  Don't forget beer.[/quote]
Most of the student section "can't" buy beer. Maybe leave that for Section C?[/quote]

Yeah, but they can't even buy beer in Canada![/quote]

And let's see you put that into a cheer.[/quote]

Wish I could try -- will be stuck in MA during the game.  It would be more useful if they were the Canadian U-18 anyway...

It looks like there will be livestats for the game, but no radio.  If I've got that wrong someone please correct me!  I'm surprised, though, to see a radio link the Western Ontario game.

[quote BMac]I feel that we don't use the Elynah forum enough as a resource for doing what the Lynah Faithful do best- come up with clever ways to egg our opponents on.[/quote]

Sorry in advance for any thread drift.

Speaking of the usage of Elynah, I've felt that this forum has been getting less and less known and used by current students.  Is it because Hockeymania on campus largely died after '05-'06, or some other reason?  If more students knew about the forum, would it help rejuvenate the student fan culture?  I don't know.  Should we do anything to promote the site to Freshmen and other newcomers this Saturday?  I think it could be a good idea.

I want to hear from other current students on this topic.

[quote jkahn]Are we recruiting any of these guys?

If yes, then "Come to school here.  We have fans, Harvard doesn't." - or Princeton or whichever school we might be recruiting against.[/quote]

It doesn't appear that there are too many still available.

According to http://www.crimsonhockey.blogspot.com/, David Valek is being looked at by the Crimson. Maybe's he's still looking around?

Sorry, you're going to hear from me first.

I think that this has always been - going back to CHDF days - a mostly alumni board. I think it would be great if more students got involved but I think most current students have better things to do than listen to a bunch of olds get wistful about how hockey was back in their day. The people who care about Cornell hockey after they graduate eventually find this place.

Ebilmes and I are taking over from Doug the responsibility of holding a "cheer training" seminar with the freshman class in the next couple weeks.  I am planning on mentioning elynah to them as both a resource and opportunity to talk Cornell hockey.

I also think there are probably a number of fans who follow the forum, just don't post.  I know of a few students who do that, at least.

[mnagowski]

Age could probably provide some statistics on that.

If you're a big Cornell hockey fan and you're on campus you don't necessarily need to read or post on this forum in order to talk about the team and college hockey.  You probably have a bunch of friends around who are also fans.  If you're an alum who lives a couple thousand miles away from Lynah (or even a couple hundred) you're probably surrounded mostly  by folks who don't have any idea that there is college hockey.  So you find this and other internet sites to connect to the fan community.

If you're a student you ought to be doing other things with your evenings and weekends than posting on message boards. ::uptosomething::

An RPI fan here would appreciate any comments on how recruit Jerry D'Amigo (#9 on the U-18 team) plays, Thanks.

U-18 beat Onion and RPI with a score of 5-4 both times.[/quote]

That's not going to help us in the KRACH. ::innocent::[/quote]

Fortunately, those games don't count for KRACH :-}

Speaking of which...

[billhoward]

Sounds as if we had more practice with these signs and chants - were any actually used? - than the team did with game practice.

That's what I figured.

Can somebody please point out where Cornell is on the diagram? ::In Need of Cross-Eyed / Blind Smiley::
