ECAC 2015-16

so is there a reason that cornell cant do the same, or is it because we are an ivy we have to use the lower quality digital network?

It seems that SLU/QU decided to follow in the footsteps of Cornell and Yale yesterday. Not one team in the league had a 4-point weekend.

Some observations about the current ECAC standings that may be of some interest...

--the top four teams are separated by one point.
--two teams are one and two points back, so the top six teams are separated by three points.
--the bottom six teams are separated by only two points
--there is one team from each travelling pair in the top half and one team from each travelling pair in the bottom half.
--the travelling pairs' point totals all equal 12, except for Harvard/Dartmouth, leading with 13, and St. Lawrence/Clarkson, trailing with 9.

That's a great stat idea, and it will show up at some point in TBRW as a historical analysis.

Typically, there are good pairs and bad pairs.  This is atypical for being a season in which the quality is spread evenly across all pairs.

First draft.
ECAC Traveling Partners, total points.  (Highlighting is top pair per season.)

I do envy that, and admire them for it.  But to be fair, it's their only Division 1 sport, and the athletic department offers 21 intercollegiate sports to our 35 or so.

I suspect that you know it, but women's ice hockey is also D-I at RPI.

Interesting stuff. I suggest adding a footnote that Army played everyone else only once per year. It also might be interesting to calculate the average for each of the three eras. E.g., how do the sets of travel partners rank on average since QU has been in the league.

Or, why we probably need Princeton to get better before Quinnipiac leaves for Hockey East.

(To answer: Notre Dame will jump West; QU will take their spot in a 12-team HE. Since the ECAC will probably take in RIT, our travel partnership with Colgate will get split up and we'll be put with Princeton for "Ivy something or other." )

Also:  Top six teams are all at .667 or above; bottom six at .333 or below.  Haves and have nots.

In '85 and '86 Army had an 11-game conference schedule.

Glad you like it! (I didn't realize it was a novel idea.  )

Sorry Ralph.  I meant Hockey in general.  I counted both men's and women's sports separately in the overall counts of the sports offered.

No problem
