According to this, Lynah has 6 locker rooms.

I think that includes the ones for officials and the women's lacrosse team, so that leaves 2 at most for visiting hockey teams.

I thought I dimly remember one of the things they touted about the Lynah renovation was they built out four full hockey locker rooms to support a tournament.  But I could be sundowning.

That's what I remember, too.

Locker rooms was a big part of the last Reno.

The women's lacrosse team uses the old men's hockey locker room, I believe. Not sure who (if anyone) uses the old women's hockey locker room. Are there more than 2 locker rooms in the expansion? That would make it awkward since the stairs go directly to the home bench.

Before the expansion, there were three locker rooms, a trainers' room, video room and office space downstairs.  Trainers, video and all offices other than the rink manager moved upstairs with the team locker rooms, leaving square footage to be allocated elsewhere although I haven't personally toured the area since the reno occurred.  Spent a lot of time down there with youth hockey players in the 90's, however....

i think there are spaces now that can be used as locker rooms, but really only 2 real locker rooms.  the others are larger spaces with benches

There appear to be two visiting-team-quality locker rooms (and the referee room) at the open / Zamboni end of the rink. Friday and Saturday, that allowed the St. Lawrence women to have one locker room and St. Lawrence then Clarkson men to have another.

"Cornell is a hockey school, and in Ithaca, everything is hockey," said junior forward Finley Frechette. "It's pretty amazing having people recognize us when we're out to dinner or getting coffee before the game and saying 'good luck.' It's not really something female hockey players are necessarily used to. Just being apart of it gives me the chills — it's amazing and everything I could have hoped for."

They haven't made it until there are boy puck bunnies.

Well, girl puck bunnies, really, ouch hey that hurts.
