Opponents and Others, 2022-23

Cornell has three goalies already.

And another (Katz) coming in Fall '24 to replace McInchak.

We're set in net, and in Shane's senior year we will actually have 3 potential #1 goaltenders competing.

If they get chances to play. Personal choice, but I would love to have a tandem again a la Underhill-Lenny. I'm really glad Shane played his best hockey during the playoffs, but it would have been nice to have a backup with a good amount of experience.

Hypothetically if Devon Levi didn't go to the Sabres but instead had entered the transfer portal, I have to believe we'd have welcomed him with open arms.

Q's Yanni Peretz has signed with Carolina, foregoing his last two years of eligibility.

[Trotsky]

One down.

Q's Yanni Peretz has signed with Carolina, foregoing his last two years of eligibility.

And cutting short a promising music career.

(Jesus, that's the kind of typing glitch I would be guilty of.)

I can't remember if you tried this joke during Kaldis's time.

Utica, too.

Army
Binghamton
Canisius
Cornell
Clarkson
Colgate
Niagara
RIT
RPI
St. Lawrence
Union
Utica

What sports is Binghamton good at? Basketball was good enough to there be a scandal (compromised admissions standards). You'd think with the academic nature of the school, it'd draw good soccer players, but all I saw the last five years was losing record. 10 men's sports, no football. Does the school have the commitment to go big in hockey?

At least in our minds, RIT is the next team into the ECAC if somebody drops hockey or switches leagues: the belief that Q's destiny is Hockey East. Or, cripe, why not shoot for B1G hockey?

You're not thinking Union might at some point fall back to a simpler hockey program?

Not unless there is a scandal.  That national championship was amazing for them and it will keep the program going for the next century.  They are RPI Nouveau.

As we have speculated many times, RIT would be a splendid ECAC program.  If Brown ever drops, everything could fit into place, and we'd lose the existential threat of ILexit.

It takes one forceful university president, perhaps prompted by a scandal -- criminal acts off-campus, hazing of freshmen players, failure to say "first-years" at Harvard, extreme drunkenness -- to quote rightsize sports.

David Skorton was asked by a cranky old alum every fall at a big-machers weekend called TCAM why, with football so dangerous, he permits it. Skorton's reply every year was, ~"I've enjoyed this conversation you and Ihave each fall

... if we never had football and the discussion was adding football, we wouldn't ... but we have football, it's a tradition, and we need to find ways to make it safer."

Martha Pollock in the past year said if there was money available for another or replacement sports arena on (near?) campus, she'd spend the money on faculty salaries.

Those are the kinds of things that make you hope these are just the precursors to trial balloons and no more.
