Quote from: jkahnThe Florida tournament will be Fri. and Sat., Dec 28 and 29 (source: email response from Craig Brush to my inquiry as to whether the dates were set).
As announced in Estero in December, Ferris St. and UMD will be there. Also announced in December were the Dec. 2013 teams, New Hampshire and North Dakota.

So I added that and Mich as tentatives.

Maybe No Dak can pick up some tips from the Florida State Seminoles while they're down there.

Joe Battista, Associate Athletic Director for Ice Arena & Hockey Operations at Penn State, made comments during Penn State's last home game as a club team that prompted many in the Penn State hockey blogosphere to speculate that Cornell and Penn State will play each other in the near future (most plans involve Cornell playing Penn State in Lynah next season so that Penn State can play in a historic venue in exchange for Cornell playing at the new Pegula Ice Arena in 2013-14). Battista stated soon after the Pegula gift was announced that he wanted Penn State to play Cornell. Also, Battista is a fan of Notre Dame hockey, a program that he does not mention when discussing fans to whose heckling Penn State will be exposed in what he implied to be the near future, so commentators have read into that. If I had to make a guess of when the game would occur if it does, it would be Friday, October 19.

For whatever it's worth, a preliminary Yale NC schedule has popped up today:

http://nhrcollegehockey.blogspot.com/2012/02/looking-ahead.html

QuoteOct. 26-27: Ivy Shootout at Brown (with Dartmouth and Princeton).
Note: The format has been under discussion, and could be changed. But as of now, the plan is to play everything at Brown.
Nov. 23-24: at Denver; at Colorado College
Note: Yale was originally part of the field of the Denver Cup. The tournament is apparently in flux, but the Bulldogs kept the date with Denver and secured a game with CC to make a weekend of it.
Dec. 12: vs. Massachusetts
Dec. 28: vs. Russian Red Stars (exhibition)
Dec. 30: at Holy Cross
Jan. 5: at Boston College

Ivy Shootout. Yuck.

Thats a better NC schedule than I would have expected them to get.

In case anyone cares, a prelimnary RPI schedule has surfaced http://www.withoutapeer.com/2012/02/tentative-mens-2012-13-schedule.html.

Scared me a second. I thought you were saying WE were in the Ivy Shootout.

Yale can have it.

Interesting that they have their home-and-home series with Union as the kickoff to their ECAC schedule. Does that happen every year, or is this new?

If it were up to me I'd like each team to see each other once in the Fall semester and once in the Spring. Home-and-homes would be right smack in the middle.

I think that it has happened before, but it certainly doesn't always happen. There is a third game (NC) against Union. I agree with you about a symmetric schedule making more sense.

But we have to make sure our home and home against Colgate is the absolute worst weather weekend of the year. It's not the same otherwise.

Also you have to make sure the pizza places in Hamilton are fully staffed that weekend so they can crank out the pizzas the administration needs to entice their students to come to Starr.

Things have changed. The absolute worst weather weekend used to be the RPI-UVM trip. Yeah, yeah, I know... a lot of things have changed. But looking up through a blinding snowstorm at the bank weather display in downtown Burlington and seeing "-18" (I assume C, but hey, maybe F) is among the memorable experiences of life.

I'm assuming that was when Army was in the ECAC? Why not have Army and RPI be travel partners? I realize this all ended 15+ years ago but a Hudson pairing makes more sense than involving Vermont.

Because that would leave Vermont and Princeton as the remaining two without partners, and that didn't make any sense at all.
