Women 2024-25

Wow.  Nobody from Clarkson.  That's kinda harsh.

Do they generally give all tourney honors to semifinalists?

Sometimes.  And considering the multiple overtime game, it could've happened.

in a multiple ot 1-1 game the most likely candidate is the goalie and, well,

Good point.

Back in December 1962 Cornell hosted a holiday invitational tournament.  Bowdoin, Williams, Norwich, Hamilton, Colgate, and Cornell.  Three days, three games each day.  Bowdoin went and Williams went 3-0, Norwich 2-1, Hamilton 1-2, Colgate and Cornell 0-3.  Cornell's Laing Kennedy was named the tournament all-star first team goalie after making 125 saves over three days, including 56 against Williams.

Actually, that was in December 1960.  In December 1962, however, we played in the ECAC Holiday Tournament at MSG and lost both games (Clarkson and St. Lawrence).  Kennedy was named first team goalie and, I think, MVP.  I was there, but it was a long time ago.

Fixed bracket, no re-seeding, right?

[Trotsky]

Not reseeding is so weird.

You're right, George.  I interchanged the years.  Kennedy was the 2nd team goalie at the 1962 MSG tournament.  How the second game went.  I was at home listening on the radio.

That's why, to me, getting up to 3 in the Pairwise was a big deal -- not having to face Wisconsin, potentially, until the title game.

Wanted to give a shoutout to the folks doing the team's social media the past few seasons -- the videos and photos they've been getting from around the rink and on the ice really add a ton.

Wisconsin is incredible this season but it gives us hope. 1-5 seeds are pretty set in stone by the pairwise but the committee can do some finagling for 6-11, although it would be hard to argue against maintaining bracket integrity this year, with the pecking order fairly stratified. I wonder if Clarkson and St. Lawrence could get save money sharing a charter flight out if they do get slotted in against each other.

So wait, seeds 6 and 11 play at Lynah, and then Cornell plays the winner a couple days later (also at Lynah)? Or do the first three games for the teams without byes happen next weekend at the higher seeds' rink (eg. 6 hosts 11), and Cornell is off next weekend?

The top 3 regionals host the opening round games on Thursday/Friday.

Sucks that the finals are in Minnesota.  Is the weather there this year more like 2018 when I froze my butt or like the temperate times last year when I skipped the Frozen Four?

Well the women's team certainly did their part in stimulating the Ithaca economy with all these teams coming to town over these two weeks.
