From reddit, the Great Circle is now comprehensive. Each team has beaten the team directly counterclockwise.

Quote from: ursusminorthe 'Tute will have two more chances to play on an Olympic ice sheet prior to the ECAC Final 4

Herb Brooks has been reconfigured and the ECACs will now be played on 200x80.

Quote from: Since the last ECAC Hockey championship in Lake Placid, the 1980 Arena has undergone significant upgrades. It is now equipped with new dasher boards that allow it to be converted to either international or NHL size standards. The championship in March will utilize the 200-foot by 80-foot NHL size, which is more typical of the rinks that ECAC Hockey programs compete on each season.

The 1980 Arena's other impressive upgrades will be completed in January 2022, and include new seating, modernized media and concession areas, hospitality suites, new restrooms, a renovated concourse, LED event and broadcast-quality lighting, and a new air handling/dehumidification system. The 1980 Arena will be networked to the Olympic Center's new industrial refrigeration plant, designed to make ice with improved reliability and efficiency. Ice is now maintained with a new electric Zamboni.

Someone exhumed his corpse? :-P

Seriously, thanks for the info.

Quote from: ursusminorAnd on Saturday RPI lost to previously 1-12 Alaska whose only other win was vs. Clarkson.

Although the Nanooks did get two almost-wins in Ithaca. In fact, with the home-away weighting, I think two OT losses on the road actually counts for more than one regulation win at home.

It counts for more than one home win but the overtimes also add a loss factor, so the one home win is clearly better than two overtime losses.
One regulation home win gives you a .8 and 0 record.
Two road overtime losses gives you a 1.08 and .88 record (.45 x 1.2 x 2) wins and (.55 x.8 x 2) losses.

Robert Morris seems to have failed in killing it's hockey program, at least for now. No word on the other two ghosts.

Assuming that you mean UAH and UAA, UAA is also supposedly coming back. If you are referring to Penn and Columbia, I doubt it. :-P

Canceled due to lack of interest? Canceled due to a friend came in from out of town?

Both RPI and DC have postponed their games for the upcoming weekend. Thus, the Harvard-Union game is the only one of the 4 games in the RPI and Union vs. Dartmouth and Harvard set currently scheduled.
