Not too early to start thinking about this.

One point of concern is that our game against tOSU on 1/3/20 will be our first after a 27-day lay-off. Meanwhile, tOSU plays Colgate on 12/27 & 28, Providence plays LSSU and Union on those dates, and Army plays Robert Morris on 12/14 & 15 and New Hampshire on 12/29.

Let's hope the lay-off  Keeps us fresh, and intense practices help us fix some things like the PP. Let's hope rust is not an issue.

I wish this tournament's format were different. Instead of setting pairings before the season even begins, they should wait until Dec. 1 and then pair teams according to pwr: highest v lowest & 2nd highest v 3rd highest. This would create the likelihood of the two highest teams meeting for the tournament championship, rather than the current situation of having the two highest teams meeting in the opening round. It also would reward teams for their performance up until the December break period.

I'm OK with this result since we are guaranteed the test against the #6 in as "consequence free" an environment as we could.

It always seems like we end up behind the 8 ball with scheduling whether it be early season or after break.
A few examples. CU is the only team in the Vegas tourney to have not played a game since the break.  Along with that.
we have played the fewest games to date in the entire country at 11 and the fewest home games at 4.  It's understandable to
want to play two exhibition games prior to the start of the season since Ivy's are at a disadvantage out of the gate but wondering
if it would be wiser to play one early exhibition and one after the break to prepare for second half. We just seem to play on an
uneven playing field too much.  Done whining.  Go Red!

What is the least expensive way to watch this (on flo?)?

One month? Does one also need to opt out of auto-renewal?
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."

i think flo only does 1 month thing but they might give you back some if you opt out early?

flo does not do month to month, I don't think. it's all annual iirc. I'm a subscriber already so I haven't looked at the T&C in a while. I once signed up and they let me off the hook with a prorated rebate but I don't know if they're always that forgiving.

They seem to have a plan that includes a month for $29.99: https://www.flohockey.tv/plans?redirect=%2Flive%2F19071-2020-fortress-invitational

Although their site does not mention it, there's also a Flo app for Android available on Amazon that apparently loads into Amazon Fire TV's.

Flo has 2 plans $29.22/mo & $150.00/yr. The latter says it auto renews on the anniversary of the subscription or until the subscription is cancelled. It's not clear about cancelling after only one month.
