2021-22 Men's Schedule

[Weder]

Cornell vs Alaska Fairbanks Oct.29 and 30th at Lynah per Fairbanks schedule release.

Very cool.

Extremely cold for the return series the following year.

Are we doing that?  If so I am going and some of you assholes are coming with me.

Are Ivies allowed to play the extra games you get as credit for visiting the Alaska schools?

It's technically a west coast game, so maybe I might talk my wife into it.

The last I heard, and this was several years ago, requests to exceed the Ivies' self-imposed limit have to be voted on by the Ivies.  At one point Yale wanted to schedule two games in Alaska, beyond the limit of 29, and had to get approval from the league/Ivies to do so (they were successful).

Cornell Men's Hockey Reveals 2021-22 Schedule

 

ITHACA, N.Y. — The Cornell men's hockey team announced today the schedule for its highly anticipated return to play in the 2021-22 season. The regular-season slate of 29 games is highlighted by a first-time visit from an opponent, a pair of lengthy non-league road trips, the eighth edition of Red Hot Hockey at Madison Square Garden in New York and the perennial rigors of league play in ECAC Hockey.

 

In what will prove to be its first regular-season action in 608 days, Cornell returns to Lynah Rink ice Oct. 29-30 for a two-game visit from Alaska. The non-league contests will mark the first visit to Ithaca for the Nanooks, who will be competing as an independent team for the first time since the 1992-93 season. The programs' only previous meeting came on Jan. 3, 1987 in the championship game of the Phoenix Mutual Tournament in Hartford, Conn. – a 5-2 victory for the Big Red.

 

ECAC Hockey play commences the following week, with Cornell opening on the road against Ivy League opponents. Up first is a date with rival Harvard on Friday, Nov. 5, followed by a trip to Dartmouth on Saturday, Nov. 6 to conclude the team's lone road games for the entire month. Four consecutive league games at Lynah Rink ensue, with the first two featuring arrivals from the circuit's Capital District teams – Union on Friday, Nov. 12 and Rensselaer on Saturday, Nov. 13. Cornell then hosts its first two games within the Ivy subset Friday, Nov. 19 against Brown and Saturday, Nov. 20 against Yale.

 

All eyes then turn to The World's Most Famous Arena, where Cornell and Boston University face off at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 27. The Big Red will attempt to retain the Kelley-Harkness Cup, laying claim to Red Hot Hockey's prize after a 2-0 victory over the Terriers in front of a crowd exceeding 15,000 fans.

 

The fall semester's portion of the schedule closes with the Big Red's first ECAC Hockey games against some of the four teams that competed during the abbreviated 2020-21 season. Cornell visits Clarkson on Friday, Dec. 3 before shuttling down Route 11 on Saturday, Dec. 4 to take on defending league tournament champion St. Lawrence.

 

After a four-week hiatus for final exams and the semester break, the Big Red will embark on the program's first trip to the Grand Canyon State for a pair of games Jan. 1-2 at Arizona State. The trip reciprocates a Sun Devils visit to Ithaca in January 2019 that resulted in victories of 6-1 and 3-2 for the hosts. Cornell's lengthy travels continue the following weekend at North Dakota, where the two teams atop the national rankings when the 2019-20 season abruptly concluded will square off in a pair of games Jan. 7-8.

 

Cornell's attention will then turn exclusively to ECAC Hockey play for the balance of the regular season. A stretch of eight straight road games comes to a close with a swing through New England to take on Yale on Friday, Jan. 14 and Brown on Saturday, Jan. 15.

 

A season-high five-game home stand awaits the Big Red as the undergraduate population returns to campus for the spring semester. The string starts Friday, Jan. 21 against Princeton and Saturday, Jan. 22 against Quinnipiac. The most anticipated home weekend of the season then starts with Dartmouth's arrival on Friday, Jan. 28 before the penultimate game of the Ivy League portion of the schedule sees Harvard in town on Saturday, Jan. 29.

 

The first weekend of February features the annual home-and-home series with Colgate. The teams meet in Ithaca on Friday, Feb. 4 before the stage shifts northeast to Hamilton for the rematch on Saturday, Feb. 5 to start a Cornell home stretch in which five of its final seven games are on the road. A visit to Rensselaer (Feb. 11) and Union (Feb. 12) follows.

 

The Big Red's final home weekend of the regular season features the same visitors it had to close out the 2019-20 campaign – ECAC Hockey's North Country foes. St. Lawrence arrives for a Friday, Feb. 18 date at Lynah before Cornell's annual Senior Night game on Saturday, Feb. 19 against Clarkson. The regular season then wraps up with a trip to Quinnipiac (Feb. 25) and Princeton (Feb. 26).

 

As usual, Cornell will tune up with the annual Red/White Game and a pair of exhibitions before the start of the regular season. Red/White is slated for Friday, Oct. 15, with an exhibition against the University of Ottawa shortly thereafter on Sunday, Oct. 17.  The final tune-up comes against the U.S. National Team Development Program's Under-18 team on Saturday, Oct. 23.

Doesn't seem to be on the Cornell site yet. The above was an email from Schafer.

What, no video from MSG, UND, or ASU?   I hope that changes.

UND streams all of their home games, IIRC, but it's the conference subscription service.

Assume they just don't have deals in place, yet.

THANKS!!!

I finally updated the schedule on the first post. So anyone who copies it for a compact listing, it's ready.

And let me know of errors, or if we get more definitive game times and whether the BU game will really be at MSG.

[redice]

..... and whether the BU game will really be at MSG.

Oh Hell!  Let's just invite them to Ithaca.   I think it would be a ball to have the CU-BU game at Lynah.  Besides, with the crime increase in NYC, who wants to go there?   Not me, even for Big Red Hockey.

[Trotsky]

Besides, with the crime increase in NYC, who wants to go there?   Not me, even for Big Red Hockey.

Just stay clear of Wall Street.

[arugula]

Yes, that makes sense.  Why would you want to play in New York City, at Madison Square Garden, particularly when a recent alum is playing for the Rangers, when you can play at Lynah Rink on a holiday weekend when no students are in town.  Sure, good idea....

[Weder]

If the game can't be played at MSG because of a conflict with the Rangers/Knicks/etc., would folks prefer:
* Play game in Newark/Brooklyn/new Islanders arena
* Play game in some other city (saying this because it's being described by CU as a neutral-site game)
* Skip the game this year (a.k.a. MSG or nothing)

I also would love if they could find a way to do a men's and women's doubleheader one of these years.
