2013-14 Schedule

[Josh '99]

The Estero Tournament will be Sat. and Sun., Dec. 28-29.  First round match-ups are Maine-Princeton and Cornell-UNH.  It departs from the last few years of being Fri.-Sat., as the teams wanted a little more time after Christmas.  Unfortunately that means Sunday goes head-to-hesd with the last week of the NFL season - hopefully we'll have the late game.  Originally it was to be North Dakota and not Princeton, but No. Dakota withdrew its earlier commitment.
Note: Jim - you can put this definitively in the schedule, as my source is a direct email from Craig Brush.

Boo for the Sunday games. I may have to borrow my mom's verizon droid phone and use that fancy NFL streaming app thingy.

Didn't jmh once watch the Giants game at the sports bar inside Germain né TECO Arena?

Yes, but it wasn't really an ideal situation.  If I recall correctly, the seats where you could see both the ice and the TVs in the sports bar were all reserved.

With all the people around due to the youth tourneys being held in the adjacent rinks, it is now pretty much impossible to get seats up in the breakaway pub. Even just ordering a large pizza "to go" took 50 minutes. There is an area on the opposite end of the rink, where the Cornell Club used to have a set up, that has a couple of tvs, but in the past couple of years, that area has been vacant.

No offense, Princeton, but swapping out North Dakota for the Tigers really lessens the tournament, not that it won't be fun to be there again. This feels like 2010 when Cornell and supposedly BC were to play at the Prudential Center in Newark in one of the non-MSG years over Thanksgiving weekend and then it became Cornell-Colgate. The title game feels as if it should be Cornell-UNH this year in Estero but that will be one of the first-day games since Cornell and Maine, both hosts, don't play each other and you don't put same-league teams in the first round, either.

We probably shouldn't worry about the strength of the Estero field until we actually win it again

We used the Florida Hockey Classic title game against 2-11-2 Maine to warn the world of the pending mid-season slump. It was a hiccup.

No, it was the first gag that signaled food poisoning and we didn't recover from for months.

We really shouldn't have brought in food from Canton for the pre-game meal...

Next time their pre-game pizza should come from JETS. (It actually is good pizza for take-out)

And Tim Whitehead won't be there coaching Maine, according to CHN.

The owner of the Everblades and Germain Arena is trying to sell them. I wonder if Cornell will be shopping for a new tournament soon.

Doesn't seem like it should matter, from this statement by Brush.  Particularly if he stays in charge of Ops I doubt the new owner will object to selling the venue a couple extra days a year.

The UMass schedule shows the Minutemen playing at Lynah on Jan. 10.

Thanks, added, tentatively.

Isn't it time to take the question mark from the 11/30 BU @ MSG line?
That was official back in February.
