Union at Brown on ILDN because it's not 7:30. Looks like 100 people in the rink.

Just after the Colgate game ended we were second by 1/10,000th of a point. Checking now, just after midnight, that's up to 4/1,000th of a point.

ND hit a speed bump today losing their 4th of the season to lowly Wisconsin.
They played in the United Center in Chicago. Did the Olympic roster kick in? There is no mention of that in the ND recap.

Not sure what to think of the ratings posted on CHN & USCHO. USCHO has us tied w/ ND for #1 in the pairwise, but CHN has us still #2. USCHO has us listed #2 in the RPI although both our raw RPI and our adjusted RPI are higher than ND's (.5954 > .5953 & .5974* > .5969*). CHN has us #1 in RPI, .597 > .595. But ND is still #1 in the KRACH on both.

This week's polls are going to be fun.

The CBC/AP reports that Team Canada will play an exhibition game on 1/28, but U.S. players won't have practices or exhibitions before they have to show up in South Korea on Feb. 8.

Since Ryan Donato scored almost 1/3 of Harvard's goals this season, I checked out Harvard's schedule. As luck would have it, he should still be in the U.S. next weekend and leave for Korea after the first Beanpot game (against BU on 2/5). Harvard will be without him for the rest of the Beanpot, but what difference would another Beanpot loss make when Harvard already has so many? He'll likely also miss games against Union, SLU, Clarkson, Brown, & Yale. He should be back in time for the ECAC tourney.

According to the Team USA web site, the USA hockey team will start practicing in South Korea about a week before the games begin.

I edited my post because the CBC/AP page includes info on Team Canada and has more specific info on Team USA. I believe CBC/AP & Team USA sites are consistent in that Feb. 9-10 is probably (I haven't bothered to check) about a week before the hockey event starts.

CHN's is correct.

For how much longer is the ECAC tournament tied to Lake Placid? Have there been any developments on locations recently?

Last I heard it was through next year. If Cornell and Clarkson are regulars they will have no trouble with attendance and I would expect another 3-year extension.
