2018-19 Schedule

I love this part of the process.

You can make multiple deposits to the same package! Feel free to make additional payments over the next few months, rather than making one final bulk payment by September 1!

Or, give us your money sooner than you need to give it.

FREE HAT! FREE HAT! FREE HAT!

do they have to order smaller seat cushions to fit on the seats at lynah

Michigan State was 12-22-2 this year and #35 in Pairwise.  Let's hope they are a stronger team next year.  With that said.. not too strong... a pair of wins would REALLY help our common-opponent comparisons with Big-10 teams.

Only if those teams don't beat MSU too.

I read the email and came away with the thought that there's a car salesman running the ticket office these days.... Just sayin....

Common opponent copmparisons with the other Big-10 won't matter if we don't play the others, since with no Head-to-Head there'd only be two criteria, RPI and Common-opponent, and RPI governs if there are only those two.

Nice to see some slightly more difficult non-conference games than this past season, but as a senior, class of '18, I can't help but think back to freshman year when we played Omaha and Denver at home. It would be nice to have at least one series a year with an NCAA-caliber team from another conference.

I've wondered why we don't coordinate more with Colgate, perhaps to pull off something like SLU and Clarkson have:

E.g.:

2016–17 Wisconsin/Minnesota at SLU/Clarkson
2017–18 Clarkson at Minnesota; SLU at Wisconsin
2018–19 Wisconsin/Minnesota at SLU/Clarkson
2019–20 Clarkson at Wisconsin; SLU at Minnesota [assumed]

Instead of a two-game set vs. Michigan State, why not, with Colgate's help, pull in both Michigan and Michigan State?

Since the distance between Munn and Yost is about the same as between Lynah and "Class of '65," we wouldn't even need to make it as complex as the Clarkson/SLU/Wisconsin/Minnesota four-year set.

There is little interest in the west in going to Ithaca.  I have to imagine there interest in going to Hamilton is, how shall I put this?, not spectacular.

Maybe try it with RIT instead?  (Rochester is a direct flight from Detroit, Chicago and--once a day it seems--MSP.)

Sure, but is Potsdam/Canton any better?

Finally catching up on my emails, and I note that the email (vs. the tweet) is specific about MSU opening the regular season, which presumably puts it the weekend before Yale/Brown.

While the 2018-19 complete season schedule has yet to be released, we can announce that Cornell will be hosting MICHIGAN STATE to start the regular season at Lynah Rink in a two-game weekend match-up!

Weirdly enough, it is.  It's still considered a very cool college hockey experience to go to the North Country.  Cheel sucked a lot of the life out of it, but it still persists.

Oh, I agree. (And I got to see Walker once, too. What a barn!) But I doubt the western teams care about ECAC history and culture.

Credit where credit is due, in the last decade, I seem to remember North Dakota visiting a good chunk of the ECAC schools.
