2017-18 Schedule

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

Wisconsin?

[wakester2468]

Wisconsin, even though they have the dates open, according to their hockey website, they have already scheduled the maximum number of games permissible.
Would be a great opponent though. Still hoping for Notre Dame, North Dakota or BC.

[wakester2468]

Notre Dame out. Their schedule released yesterday.  Down to Atlantic Hockey North Dakota or BC. Another deduction could be that there aren't enough teams to fill
a tournament (Florida) at this point. Don't recall Atlantic hockey teams involved in the past.

North Dakota out. Schedule just released. Almost makes certain that Florida is toast.

I've heard from reliable sources that no Florida tourney this year

[wakester2468]

Starting to think that Colgate games will be played on Tuesdays which will open up the weekend of Jan 19 and 20th where it might be easier to schedule games outside of conference.
Creates an extremely long break from 12/2 to 1 /5 though.

With an improving Princeton and perennial PITA Q first up when we come back rusty.

No sir, I don't like it.

Also still wondering if the Florida trip will continue.

If it doesn't we need to take the Ned Harkness Cup and stow it for another future attempt.  Like in Switzerland.  Or Kepler-186f after FTL.

Apparently Minnesota played in the Spengler Cup in 1981.  Anyone up for a road trip to Davos?

Oops, no luck.  Their schedule is full:

At least now we know according to official post announcing Red Hot Hockey that the final schedule will be announced next week.
Latest prediction for the final two game is Mercyhurst.

[wakester2468]

Mercyhurst out!  Canisius looking more likely

I found the person at Germain Arena who runs the tournament on, of all places, LinkedIn.  Here is her response:

Unfortunately we are not hosting the Florida College Hockey Tournament this December.

It's dead, Jim.

So it looks like the unknown is becoming more difficult. We don't seem to have a lot of good choices. Even Arizona has settled on their tournament schedule.

Not sure if anyone has posted this composite yet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tOhCK4qXRHp0CRY8P3AswlwtPHWGdpk08c3pHev5-Fw/htmlview#

Four potential opponent left in order of my personal preference.
1. BC. Home and home series would be great for many reasons.
2. Sacred Heart. They play a Webster Arena in Bridgeport which is used to host NCAA regional sometimes.
3 Canisius Buffalo area potentially good for recruiting in Ontario.
4. Bentley. No good reason to play them. Home rink capacity 1200.
These are the remaining teams as I see it available Dec 28-30
This all being said, it's more and more likely no games will be played at all until Princeton and Q meaning as stated earlier Colgate games
will be played on Tuesdays and the 28th and 29th game both out of conference will be on Jan 19 and 20. I agree  with Trotsky, this option sucks.
So I am impatiently waiting for the official announcement this week promised by previous release from CU Athletic Dept.
