Cornell Women's Hockey

RPI wins in 5OTs 2-1 in disputed goal. They play us.

I assume all the BRSP holders will get another this email about it. Attendance will be up a lot considering men's hockey is off and basketball is on the road.

What was the dispute?

What was the dispute?

The announcers said no goal light went on, they thought it went off the crossbar. There was a discussion between the refs and the goal judge and they called it. My term disputed was probably too strong as the team never screamed about it, rather it took a while for everyone to agree. Quite a way to end what they said was the second longest game. At least no shoot-out.

It was 4 this AM, but you're it's 7 PM now. Much better.

Hayleigh Cudmore has been named to the 2010 Canadian U-18 team.  By my count this will make 9 players that represented Canada internationally playing for Cornell next year.  In addition, Slebodnick, an incoming goalie recruit, was an alternate for the USA U-18 team.  This is looking to be quite a formidible roster.  Poulin has yet to commit.  Not sure if Cornell is in the running for her or not, but I'm certainly keeping my fingers crossed.

If we land Poulin, we will be a in the hunt for a national title next year.  Without her, we should still be nationally competitive.  I've come to realize that in the long run, the women's team has more potential to be a national title winner than the men's team due to a number of factors: smaller number of DI teams, smaller recruitment pool of elite talent, and the increased importance of educational quality to women over men since they can't play pro hockey.

That's not strictly accurate, since there is a professional women's hockey league hockey league in Canada, but I think your point is still generally true.

Maybe there is a league. But the fact that no one has ever heard of it kind of proves the point.

[mattj711]

While the league does give high level players a place to play, it does not put food on their tables.

The Clarkson Cup?

Insert syphilis joke here.

Agreed...from yesterday's Ithaca Journal:

Friday's Rensselaer-Cornell ECACH women's semifinal game at Lynah Rink has been pushed back to a 7 p.m. start. It was originally set for a 4 p.m. faceoff.

[Trotsky]

Was it pushed back to allow more people to go, or because of RPI travel, or what?

Either way, I hope they get a full house, the band, Arthur, Jason, offensive cheers,... everything.  They're the top seed, they deserve it.
