Union fired Bennett for "coaching style" which I assume means "being a shouty asshole who has kids skating until they puke and then calling them soft when they do"

The press release in truth should have said he was dismissed because of "his coaching style and practices that no longer translate to championship level teams so we will no longer tolerate his assholery"

It was the system.

Some nasty stuff going on with Michigan program, which was heavily criticized for pulling out of the second game of the Great Lakes Tournament earlier this year. Now they are being accused of having players lie about COVID exposure, among other things.

Adam seems to be the guy who really dug into this story.  Good journalism but maybe have somebody else start your car for the next few months.

As of Saturday, Cornell is the one ECAC top-four team with 0 shootout wins. The top four in the standings and the only four with ECAC winning records are
1. Quinnipiac
2. Clarkson
3. Cornell
4. Harvard

We can beat Quinnipiac but it's not easy and the same goes with Harvard. Be nice if the RS ended that way in the standings and we avoid Q and H until, if all top seeds advance, the Lake Placid finals. Or we could Just Win, Baby.

Except, of course, the ECAC listing is on % basis. On the points basis CU & Harvard are reversed. Harvard is #3 with 28 points and CU is #4 with 25 points.

We have 2 games in hand on Harvard. So we can move up to #3, but we need to win at least 1 of those games. As of now, we play Q.

Adam does a good job, but this is virtually all from the Ann Arbor news. The A² News article states "according to documents obtained by MLive/The Ann Arbor News." and Adam acknowledges that "Documents obtained by The Ann Arbor News".

Local newspapers have enough problems and we should give them the kudos.

This year's point system turned a 2/4 .500 weekend into 2/6 .333 weekend.  Yikes.

Quinnipiac tied the NCAA record with their 12th shutout of the season tonight against UConn

The Yale coach couldn't have been too happy with his son for leaving his team shorthanded for Saturday's consolation game of the Connecticut Ice Classic.
"The Bulldogs played with only 17 skaters; NCAA teams are allowed 19. Leading scorer Niklas Allain had to sit out Sunday after receiving a disqualification penalty to go with a cross-checking major in the last minute of Saturday's game against UConn. Yale is also dealing with several injuries."
Yale lost 4-3 in OT to Sacred Heart, with a transfer student from Yale, Dante Pelecco, scoring tying the tying goal for Sacred Heart late in the third period.
