ECAC CHAMPIONS!

[LynahFaithful]

Just putting it on record:

Cornell took down the #3, #1, and #2 regular season finishers back-to-back-to-back to claim the second Whitelaw Cup in a row!

THAT'S ALL! LET'S GO RED!

Much as in 1980, when 8th seed Cornell beat the #1, #2, and #3 to win it all.

Thank you, Schafer.  This championship and season is dedicated to you.

Man, back when the Boston schools were in the ECAC. That's how you know it's a throwback.

Mike entered Cornell as a freshman in the fall of 1982, so he would have been in high school in 1980. (Unless he had already graduated...Canada, junior hockey, and all that.)

Speaking of 1980, that's the last year Cornell won an ECAC championship that I wasn't in attendance for. I've been at the last eight. I'm sure there are some here who have been at the same last eight, were there in 1980 too, and possibly earlier as well. So...who here holds the record for greater than eight, and at how many?

That's an amazing accomplishment.

that's what you get for being old. i was subtracting from 1988.

I've been to 7.  I missed 1986 and 2025, but I was at 1980.

Here's an add-on that I'm guessing no one else can match, and that no one else would want to match. I've now seen Cornell win two or more ECAC championships with three different wives!

1986 with Karen, my then college girlfriend who was my wife by 1996 and 1997. 2003 on my own (though I believe that was the year I first met Jeff H.) 2005 with my girlfriend, Jaime, who was my second wife by 2010. And 2024 and 2025 with my third (and last - I promise) wife, Kim. Someone top that!

A "Cinematic Recap" from the league (short, but nice).

The press conference.

[RichH]

I'm wondering how many times a school has accomplished the "Double" — Men's and Women's ECAC Championships in the same year.

I know we have done it twice now, 2010 & 2025, and I may sit down later to figure it out, but if anyone knows, feel free.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

I worked it out.  Thanks Wikipedia.

Sucks has done it three times 2004, 2006, and 2015.

Colgate (2023), Q (2016), and Clarkson (2019) have each done it once.  

2019 was especially egregious since the runner-up in both the men's and women's tourney was us.

Anne and I have the same 8.  I would guess Jim has the record, and may have seen all 14.
