2025-26 schedule

[Wammer]

Anyone happen to know when the ECAC (or at least Ivy) schedule will be released for 2025-26?

[chimpfood]

I think the official schedule is usually released over the summer but if we're lucky we'll get an exclusive ELynah sneak peak soon.

[David Harding]

The first inklings of this year's schedule came from Jim Hyla on March 15, 2024.  https://elf.elynah.com/read.php?1,252404  
The year before Jim posted the ECAC schedule  January 23, 2023 https://elf.elynah.com/read.php?1,241746
All unofficial, but generally right on the moeny.

moeny.

Isn't that a song lyric?

The ECAC hasn't been as nice recently. I used to get the ECAC schedule so I could post it on 1/1 and start our schedule.

Last year it was March as noted above.

This year, as soon as I know, you'll know.

All I've received is:

Cornell plays at home on the following dates (conference only):

11/14, 11/15, 11/21, 11/22, 1/16, 1/17, 1/23, 1/24, 2/27, 2/28

Fairly front-loaded again. One home weekend (barring Colgate announcement) after 1/24 is something

I do wish that would stop happening. It's hard for non die hard fans to keep up with such a long break given that most don't watch away games.

I suspect the Colgate series will be in February and then December will have an OOC home series. Also, I suspect the first two weekends will be on the road. I could see the first conference weekend being at Hamden and Princeton given past scheduling patterns.

I suspect there's gonna be at least one weekend of non-conference home play in early February. Makes no sense to have three away weekends in a row. (Think the NoDak home&home.)

I suspect it'll be Colgate in there as a lone hole date. I don't remember Cornell ever playing out of conference after the middle of January. Conference schedule is wall to wall except the beanpot and Connecticut copycat.

More likely a home NC game in early December than in February.

Anyone heard any rumblings? People are starting to hear stuff and post on the USCHO forum but I haven't seen us mentioned in any of those. Locking down another home and home with a hockey east/B1G/NCHC school would be nice to make sure our OOC schedule is strong enough to be competitive in the pairwise. Do we maybe finally get Arizona state at home after going down there for what seemed like 5 years straight? Find another winter break tournament perhaps? Curious to see how it turns out

I believe ASU came to Lynah in 2019 (and swept both games.)

That was when Mario Lemieux was in the stands watching his kid.

What was Casey's out of conference plan when he was at Clarkson?  It will be interesting to see if the approach is different at all than Schafer's (adjusted to fit within the Ivy League scheduling confines of course).

Teams I'd like to see at Lynah, in no particular order:

Code Select Expand


RIT *
Mankato
Michigan Tech *
Maine
Northeastern *
Vermont *
UNH *
Western Michigan
CC
Alaska-Anchorage
Alaska-Fairbanks
Wisconsin *
North Dakota


Those starred are a bit down on their luck right now, and would probably be very happy to see an outstretched hand. (I guess I'm willing to extend the olive branch to Vermont, mostly because a return to Gutterson would be a definite trip for me.) Maine and North Dakota, and their fans, are always welcome, as far as I'm concerned. There are good relationships built or to be built there. Wisco is a big stretch, because of the idiotic insularity of the Big10 schedule, which, considering recent events you'd think the conference should start to redress. But they should come. We and they get along.
