2017-18 Schedule

[Beeeej]

If upprdeck's information is correct about the Florida tournament, it's interesting to speculate how the last two games now open will be filled. Now that UAH is confirmed at Lynah, we are on the road at Miami and the annual Thanksgiving weekend game most likely against BU occurs,

...and yet there's been no announcement of Red Hot Hockey (or Frozen Apple), it's not on Cornell's schedule or BU's schedule, and it's not on MSG's schedule. Tickets have been available as early as February some years, but here we are without even any news.

anyone have any more information on whether the MSG game will continue this year and, if so, if BU remains the opponent?

Now that UAH is confirmed at Lynah, we are on the road at Miami and the annual Thanksgiving weekend game most likely against BU occurs, who will be scheduled as the first two games after the break. I have heard that Mike has a good relationship with Bob Gaudet at Dartmouth.
They host an annual holiday event on dec 29th and 30th each year. It's a predetermined two games, not the two winner and losers playing on the 30th. Last year Colgate participated so a second team along with Dartmouth from ECAC isn't an issue since they wouldn't play against each other. On the Dartmouth schedule, three teams have been announced. UNH, Minnesota Duluth and Dartmouth. While a fourth team might have already been added, I can't find on anyone's schedule as of yet who it is. If it happened to be Cornell. that would mean Cornell would play Duluth and UNH which would help their out of conference schedule greatly. Of course being from NH this appeals to me greatly  at best is probably just wishful thinking. I do still like the idea of Cornell hosting a holiday event but unless it's already planned but not publicized, its late in the scheduling process to tie up three other team.
If anyone has any additional info, I'd be curious to hear about it.

Duluth's schedule has Yale and Dartmouth.

In 2010 the Colgate game at Prudential Center wasn't announced until October 7.  
4/7/2011   BU
6/19/2012  Michigan
2/28/2013  BU
2/19/2014  Penn State
4/2/2015   BU
5/20/2016  UNH

These are based on when I received email from Athletics announcing the impending ticket sales.

Glad that is confirmed and certainly raises the strength of schedule considerably. I'm researching every other teams schedule that has been announced and still can't figure out what the games will be over the holidays if Florida is history. Ledyard classic in Hanover is full. Catamount tourney seems unlikely so it's looking more and more like it could be teams like Niagara or RIT. That does not thrill me  Hope I'm wrong.

[upprdeck]

Its not RIT

If you follow the "subscribe now" link, it says that the internet presale starts at noon on 6/21.
I can't remember whether tickets were also available through Cornell in past years, ensuring that we would end up in a Cornell section, or whether the MSG site showed the division clearly.

On a hot Sunday afternoon with the AC running full guns, while watching golf for nine hours I decided to do a little cross referencing while waiting for the official Big Red schedule to be announced. Through process of elimination I've narrowed down
potential opponents after Christmas assuming they actually play that week whether it's in Florida or elsewhere.
I was fearful that we would end up with games against either RIT or Niagara but both are now committed otherwise.
So correct me if I'm wrong plus teams are finalizing schedule daily but here are the teams left uncommitted or at least unannounced to date.
Notre Dame, BC Connecticut, North Dakota, Alaska Fairbanks, Canisius(sp) Mercyhurst, Sacred Heart and Bentley.  
Notre Dame, BC or No Dakota would be great but I'm not holding my breath. If someone can eliminate any of these schools please correct me.
I didn't realize Sacred Heart was also nicknamed the Big Red so I can see a Big Red vs Big Red showdown to go along with Red Hot Hockey.

The Sacred Heart athletic teams are named the Pioneers.

Their weird human mascot character is named Big Red.

You are correct but to the other more important portion of my post, do you have any additional info regarding scheduling. I still can't see Florida happening, They have a
performance scheduled for the 28th which would make the arena unavailable for practice that day if games are the 29th and 30th. Pretty sure they wouldn't play the 30th and
New Years Eve. Patiently waiting for official release of schedule. Actually, not so much.

[billhoward]

German / TECO Arena has 2 or 3 rinks so conceivably the teams could practice at the facility. But I don't recall the second game being played after the 29th. Looks dimmer and dimmer.

Maybe there's an upside for the players of being able to take off for more than a few days, to see family.

[wakester2468]

Alaska Fairbanks out.

I was told it was a school beginning with an M..
