2025-26 Men's Schedule

[Trotsky]

BC would be great but I can't see it ever happening unless we drop the home and home requirement, which we should not.

[Dafatone]

As always (or at least since Augustana joined D1 hockey a couple years ago), I'm hoping for a surprise trip to Sioux Falls for Cornell.

H and P dropped their schedules today, hopefully ours comes soon

[stereax]

With McKenna reportedly heading to Penn State, they are now at the top of my schedule wish list. Other OOC opponents that I would love to see that haven't released schedules yet are Maine, BC and Alaska Anchorage.

Nope, pathetic OOC sched. for them, and not us...

There is maybe one real team on that list...

BC in the non Red Hot Hockey years at MSG would be great

We host Alaska January 9-10. Hell yeah. My only gripe now is that 6 of our 13 home games are over winter break. I'll be here but it won't make for an electric student section.

Well was hoping for a Hockey East or Atlantic opponent could get to from Boston, but at least we know the full season schedule now...

4 of the 13, right? That's still too many. Often the number is zero.

I count 6. Omaha, Alaska, and the Princeton/Q weekend

Oh I see the issue. It's 6/15. Not 4/13 as I thought or 6/13 as you thought.

This seems like a very poorly planned schedule. 8 straight home games, but 6 are during intersession i.e. no atmosphere? Really sad, so are they only selling sets of 9 season tickets to the students? Plus we'll get the home ice PWR* negative bonus without much of the home ice advantage.

Last year we had all 13 of our home games while school was in session.

*whatever the new PWR is called

It sucks... I'm already gonna have to plan to stay in Ithaca over winter break, lol. (Not just for the team but I also should really see if I can find something to do vis-à-vis legal work.) I thought I mentioned this a few weeks ago and I was told this often happens in the schedule where they put several games over winter break at home. Ah well... maybe they're trying to push the women's games more?

Btw, Keopple did a "takeover" of the Cornell M Hockey Instagram account. Entertaining stuff.

Looking forward to the extra 2 games in 26-27 (assuming we travel to Alaska next year)

Alaska has a bonkers schedule. Are they playing Anchorage... 8 times?

This is the first year in my fading memory that Cornell has not been in a mid-season tournament. What's up with that?

[arugula]

Will we do a return trip to Alaska?  They were in Ithaca in 21 and no return trip.

The NCAA will permit the bonus two games, but I doubt the Ivy League will.
