9th Annual Cornell Hockey Tournament in Florida

[KeithK]

A little factoid I picked up looking at the tournament webpage.  Cornell has participated inthe tournament for eight years now.  Over that span the team is 8-8, won the tournament twice, finished 2nd twice, 3rd twice and last twice.  So basically the results have been about what you would expect if we had flipped a fair coin sixteen times.

I think we're actually 7-8-1 since one of those "wins" was a shootout.

I remember two shootout wins at the Florida tournament: against Minnesota-Duluth in December '05 in the championship game, and against Clarkson last year in the consolation.  So 6-8-2 for our official record then?

Damn you pesky technical people ruining the symmetry of my factoid with pesky details.

Any recommendations for a good local joint for lunch or dinner in either Naples or Fort Myers (or anywhere in between) this weekend?

OK, B2TV is not being helpful, as they still link to St. Cloud season pass when I click on "Click Here to Purchase Florida College Classic Multiple Event Pass". I've contacted them twice with no response. So does anyone know anything about how to get all games, or do we just wait till 10 minutes before the 'gate game and see what happens?

There's an Arizona Pizza Kitchen right near the arena on Cork Screw.  Also, there's a nice outlet mall in the same area with a few restaurants there.  

There's tons in the area, the worst thing is that things seem to close early so it's been tough for me to find a spot to eat after the games if we play the late game.  Hopefully the fact that this is on a Sat night will make a difference.

Also, don't forget to stop by the Cornell Hopsitality area above section 114.  There's a buffet available for anyone who buys a raffle ticket.

Go Big Red!

I'd say you have to wait until ten minutes before the 'gate game. It is probably set up the same way as if you purchased a single event pass.

From B2:

To Watch a Single Event

Todays Events Are Listed to the Right
10 Minutes before the event begins, a green box will appear above today's scheduled events.

I agree that is most likely, however why do they put up a link to watch the complete tourney?::screwy::

Are we 100% certain that Time Warner Cable Ithaca (and Syracuse, for Jim) are not going to be televising these games? I know their schedules are showing high school football or something as the scheduled programming, but I also know that in past years these games were broadcast by TWC. Today's Ithaca Journal did not include any information on television broadcast, but even so, I remain optomistic that the game (or games) will magically appear. Has anyone heard anything definitive that TWC is definitely --not-- carrying these games?

The last year this tournament was on any actual television at all, judging by a cursory search of this forum, was Dec. 2004.  The following is a record of ways to view video of the Florida tournament:

Dec 2008: B2 webcast??
Dec 2007: B2 webcast
Dec 2006: None
Dec 2005: B2 webcast
Dec 2004: CSTV
Dec 2003: CSTV
Dec 2002: None

For the record, audio of tonight's game will be available through the usual RedCast subscription.

30 minutes before game time and the Colgate/Maine game link is now in its green box and apparently available for purchase.  $10 per game, it seems.

What's the quality of the B2 broadcast like, Jim?
