Isn't the "Vampire Squid of the Week" Q facility well off campus, too?

Q's rink is on its York Hill Campus. When the rink was first opened, there wasn't anything else there. But now that campus -- which is on top of a hill as those of us who have gone to games there know -- includes a student center and three dorms for upperclass students. So yes, the facility is off Q's main campus, but isn't a standalone arena, since several thousand students live on the York Hill Campus. And Q runs shuttle busses from the main campus to the rink for their students (not to be confused with the shuttle busses Q runs from the York Hill Campus to downtown New Haven for the students who want to go clubbing on weekend nights).

FWIW, Lehigh's sports facilities are all on the other side of a mountain from its campus.  They run buses for students on game days.

Yale's football, soccer, lacrosse, baseball, track, tennis, golf venues are more than a mile from campus.  Crew races 10+ miles from campus.

Harvard's hockey rink and football field are in a different town.

Harvard's hockey rink and football field are in a different town.

But it's only a half-mile walk from Harvard Sq.  That's a shorter distance than from the North Campus dorms to Lynah.

Augustana is starting off with a bang.  Beating Denver and CC in the same weekend.  What kind of roster did they build for their first season?

On the road.

Youngest player is 20; 11 players 23 and older. That's a start.

Wow did they raid the portal!

I count 2 guys from Colgate, Ohio State, and St. Cloud, and 1 from Wisconsin, Bowling Green, UAF, ASU, Clarkson, Niagara, Miami, Providence, Wis-Stevens Point (D3). That's 15 transfers from other NCAA programs.

They can play bingo and shuffleboard with Q.

UMD came back to tie Minn the 2nd night.  maybe when they get healthy they help us out with some wins.

I know that Cornell last year was among the leaders in the fewest SOG allowed per game. I was thinking about this Friday night when I compared the total SOG in the Cornell-Yale game to the SOG totals in the other ECAC games. Here's the breakdown for the weekend.

Friday night games
Cornell-Yale  43

Q-Dartmouth 70
RPI-Union 63
Colgate-Brown 64
Princeton-Harvard 64
Average for other four games -- 67.5

Saturday night games
Cornell-Brown 49

Q-Harvard 58
Princeton-Dartmouth 69
Union-RPI 52
Colgate-Yale 60
Average for other four games -- 59.8

For the season, we are only allowing 18 SOG per game, so it looks like we once again will be among the leaders in this category. It also helps that Cornell blocks a lot of shots. Against Yale, for example, we blocked 17 shots and Yale only had 20 SOG. This is nothing new for Cornell, of course, but it's still interesting to see. It will also be interesting to see if we can keep the SOG numbers low when we start playing some of the better offensive teams in the conference, which we will be doing over the next few weekends. Last year, for example, we gave up 17 SOG to Q in the first period when we played them in Hamden. In any case, it makes it a lot easier for our goalies to post impressive numbers when they don't have to face a barrage of shots.

Q and BU scoreless after 2 periods in a competitive game
