Facilities improvements for the North Country.

As long as they don't touch the aesthetics of Appleton.

The only renovation Cheel needs is obliteration by meteor.

Importantly who will be their goalie? Their other 2 from last year were seniors and I couldn't quickly find a new recruit list for them.

CHN's recruit list for 2019 doesn't list a goalie.

Unless one of the seniors was getting a fifth year, I have to assume they have at least 1 goalie coming in. Who?

This seems like a coaches worst nightmare. You lose your team's most important player at a time when finding a replacement is very hard.

Anyone have any knowledge about this?

Colgate fans certainly don't seem to:

This means we lost THREE goalies from last season's roster and will have a HUGE question mark there going forward.

Then again, this sort of thing happens occasionally - maybe not all three goalies, but I recall at least one occasion (perhaps when Pelletier left?) when Cornell had to scramble after the usual recruiting season to put a credible backup goalie on the bench quickly, and it didn't turn out all that badly.

The Bad Time was 1993.  Parris Duffus left early after 1992.  That left us with an untried sophomore Bandurski and a freshman Skazyk.  The results were... well, they weren't good:

I don't think that's what I'm remembering - because I don't recall Skazyk as being a last-minute pickup to replace Duffus.

Cornell played the first semester of the 1992-93 season with Andy Bandurski in goal, backed up by Geoff Raynak, a junior who had played the previous two seasons as the JV goalie. Eddy Skazyk didn't join the team until second semester. His first game was 1/30/93 vs. Colgate, gave up 5 goals (plus an empty-netter) in a 6-3 loss.

I was at that game, in Hamilton.  It was worse than the score.

On the way home we got stuck in mud (not off-roading) and needed a passing truck to pull us out.

On the other hand, nobody got food poisoning.

If I am remembering correctly, Skazyk was a recruit, but The Plan had been to give him an extra year of seasoning before bringing him in.

[Al DeFlorio]

IIRC, when LeNeveu left early Mike had to scramble to bring in McKee.

Got an email about getting Harvard season tickets, with this quote:

"Become a season ticket holder today and save $30 off of single game prices – that's like getting tickets to the Cornell game for free!"

Individual Harvard hockey tickets are on sale now for season ticket holders. Also for those who purchased a mini-plan (purchase 3 different, non-Cornell games) tickets. This is phone only.

General sales for individual games are on sale 8/15.

Does Colgate have a goalie yet?

Does Colgate have a goalie yet?

Their webpage still shows last year's roster.  Makes me wonder...
