Does anyone know who the 29th game is this year and the date it can be squeezed into the schedule?

1/4 and 1/11 are good candidates for a home game.

I find it rather odd that we are this deep in the schedule planning process and still don't have the 29th game. I suspect the result being an Atlantic Hockey League team and most likely
Niagara or a team willing to travel a shorter distance to play a single game. Frankly, I would prefer a Penn State matchup but don't see that being a reality. Any thoughts?

You may be right. But the fact that the team still hasn't released a schedule at this late date* suggests that they're having issues with the schedulg. That could be issues with finding opponent #29 or working out the details of an arrangement with said team. I suspect we'll never know, so we'll be left speculating when the actual schedule does come out.

* July feels late to release the schedule but is it? I don't know when it's been released in previous years and I'm not sure it's worth the effort to dig that up.

Edit: OK, it's not unusually late for us. Thanks David for doing the legwork last year. http://elf.elynah.com/read.php?1,174815,179736#msg-179736

If Denver really was supposed to return the visit and they pulled out, that may have left us scrambling late.

Seems pretty likely. I can't imagine Schafer agreeing to play in Denver without a return engagement in Lynah and those first two weekends in January (now listedas the exhibition game and the potential UMass game) seem likely to be when those games might have happened.

It wouldn't shock me if the new coach vacated the deal made by the old staff.

Or maybe Schafer's rant about the WCHA officials after the Denver series made Denver or Schafer himself reconsider the arrangement.

According to the ECAC website, Niagara comes to Lynah on Tuesday, Nov 26 and Colgate is at Lynah on Saturday, Dec. 7. I don't see the trip to Colgate posted on the ECAC schedule.

Also exhibition with York on 10/19, but neither 'gate nor Niagara have their schedules up on their websites. So?

? Time will tell, I guess.

What about games at Yankee Stadium? I heard a possible outdoor game proposed, could it be Colgate vs Cornell?

dwakelin · July 10, 2013, 08:52:02 AM

The Niagara game was a no brainer to expect. Now my focus is Snapper's post regarding a Colgate game at Yankee Stadium. Is there actually merit to this rumor
or just on a wish list?

My son's hockey coach knows a member of the coaching staff. I believe that this is still being considered. They discussed it last week at Cornell hockey camp. I don't know anything further but it would be a lot of fun if it happens.
