Cornell Women's Hockey: Offseason

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

I'm going to guess that Anna Zorn is related to Liz Zorn '10. Also good to see that we'll have a full complement of defensemen for next year.

And I'm going to guess that Taylor Woods is related to Tiger Woods. Let's hope she's as good as scoring as he is (using different senses of the word, of course).

Wow.  That is just inappropriate.  The assumption that the Zorns are related makes sense as siblings attending Cornell is not unheard of (see: Johnston's sibling, the Overgaards, etc).

Relax. It was just a joke. I know they're probably not related.

Please leave the jokes to ugarte.

I guess it was inappropriate. I apologize.

I, for one,think it wasn't that bad.

I cringed when I read it, and I have a pretty high tolerance (appreciation?) of tasteless humor. Plus there wasn't much deep thinking to make the joke. Ugarte's stuff is funny without going over the line. I've always wanted to see a battle of the comics where Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Rodney Dangerfield and Robin Williams are put onstage (hmm, realize I didn't think of any woman comics) and told, "Be funny. Anything you want. Just no cursing or sex jokes or drug humor." I think they all could be funny because they're good. Similarly, I'd like to see Bill Cosby do an R-rated show sometime.

Based on what Keenan Thompson said when he visited Cornell a few months ago about filming the Fat Albert movie with Cosby, Cosby would probably be very good at that type of show. He said that when the cameras were off Cosby was telling dirty jokes. I won't repeat them here because 1) I learned my lesson and 2) it was at least 10 times worse than what I wrote.

I don't think it was offensive, really, but I'd be hard pressed to call it a joke.

I'm really surprised that someone with a "high tolerance" level" would cringe at this line.  I would absolutely expect shock by low tolerance PC freaks.  I know I don't rate on this site since I'm not one of the regulars, but it was just a damn joke, and not cringeworthy at all.  I know we all have our own tolerance level, but does someone with a high level cringe at this, particularly since the statement was made about using different senses of the word?  I laughed....  But what do I know, I just say what I feel.

Six Members of Cornell Earn Invite to Canada's Under-22 Development Camp

Here's the whole press release:

THACA, N.Y. – Six Big Red women's hockey players got great news on Tuesday as Hockey Canada released the roster for its 2012 Under-22 Development Team selection camp in Calgary in early August.

Rising senior Laura Fortino will be joined by rising juniors Brianne Jenner, Hayleigh Cudmore and Jessica Campbell as well as rising sophomores Jillian Saulnier and Emily Fulton.

Fortino and Jenner were both on the roster of Canada's bronze-medal-winning National Team last November at the 4 Nations Cup, and more recently won a gold medal for Canada at the 2012 IIHF World Championship.

Saulnier, Cudmore and Campbell also have experience playing under Canada's flag recently with the bronze medalist squad at the 2012 Meco Cup in Germany in January.

During the selection camp, Cornell's seven players will be part of a group of 40 that is split into two teams. These teams will scrimmage and practice against each other before 22 of them are chosen for a three-game series against the United States' Under-22 team from Aug. 14-19 in Calgary. After play has concluded, Hockey Canada will use what it sees at the camp to help make its selection for the 2013 Meco Cup in Germany.

They sound like some real talent.  Lots of national team experience.

Women released their 2012-13 schedule today. I hope someone notices that both the men's and the women's teams have games scheduled at 7pm on Friday, October 26 at Lynah Rink, the women against Yale, the men against Colorado College.

It's a promotional thing. The fans will show up thinking they're going to a men's game, but instead it will be a women's game. They'll then see how good the women's team is and start going to more games.

(Also, why does my spellcheck say "men's" is not a word, but "women's" is?)

They're actually going to extend the rink to have four zones that meet in the center of the ice.  Battle royale!

If the break-outs aren't sharp, there will be some really good collisions. :-P
