Daniel Wedman of the Bonnyville Pontiacs for 2015/16. http://collegehockeyinc.com/stats/commitments.php. His page http://ajhl.esportsdesk.com/leagues/rosters_profile.cfm?clientID=1705&leagueID=3464&teamID=378815&playerID=933441.

I have long liked the name Bonnyville Pontiacs.

Wedman is under the impression that he'll be here sooner than that. ;-)

Apparently he's (or at least his coach is) also under the impression that he's getting a hockey scholarship.

Don't take this personally, Swampy, but I wish people here would stop being such pedants and/or naifs about this phrasing. He is coming to Cornell to play hockey (and go to school). He is also (if we assume the coach isn't just making up the idea of a scholarship entirely) getting grants to do so, making it affordable. They are interrelated. Calling it a hockey scholarship is a lot closer to the truth than it seems eLF wants to admit.

He comes to Cornell to go to school and play hockey.  He gets a scholarship because of his need, and maybe to match grants that another school had offered him. He doesn't get a hockey scholarship. And if you read the press release, they don't say that he gets a hockey scholarship, just that his hard work paid off with a scholarship to Cornell. I don't think that we should stop emphasizing that we don't give athletic scholarships.  It is what sets us apart from most of the other Division I schools.  We should be proud of it, and we should emphasize it.

Besides, my comment was sort of a joke. You're supposed to laugh or at least chuckle. It's like pointing out someone saying Ken Dryden was in goal during our undefeated season. (Something else we shouldn't stop emphasizing, the only undefeated season in NCAA hockey history that is.)

The only undefeated season in NCAA hockey history that resulted in an NCAA D-I championship that is. :-D (Clarkson in 1956)

I love his size.
Adding some bigger players.
Is this a fluke? or does cornell like big players?


would make complete sense considering we have one of the smallest ice surfaces in college hockey.

Wedman (white 3) with some Old Tyme Hockey for Got6 to bitch about:

Is this actually true?  Lynah is (nominally) 200x85, same as most other arenas, though I suppose if the corner radius is non-standard it could still be smaller than typical.

Has anyone ever measured the place to see whether it really is 200x85?  (I mean any of us.) It wouldn't surprise me if it were a few feet shorter than nominal.  But really the ifference is generally the corners as you say.

[imafrshmn]

lynah's small radius corners make the rink slightly larger than the standard nhl dimensions.

[hockeyfan23]

The rink might be 200x85. tough to say however it seems smaller.

Im sure it seems smaller if you play a game considering the lynah faithful are right on top of you

Huh?  How does that follow? Where are the length and width measured?  I asumed from the boards in the middle of each side, which would mean the size of the corners would have no impact on length, just area.  Am I wrong?

Sorry. I meant larger in terms of area
