2025-26 Men's Schedule

[617BigRed]

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...

My only gripe now is that 6 of our 13 home games are over winter break.

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.

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.

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.

Pretty sure we didn't play one in 2022-23.

[BearLover]

The fact there are only 9 home games during classes is nuts. The Cornell ticket office should package the ECAC playoff home games together with the regular season home games and refund people if they don't occur.

[grandpa voice] In my day we had 0-2 games during intersession, not 6.

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

It looks like Harvard (played in the Belfast tournament) had 30 games last season, so either the Ivies allow one extra game for playing in an exempt tournament or Harvard decided to schedule only one extra game.

Among the things I forgot about 22-23 was that and 2 home games against Alaska (Thank you Arugula). There is a Clarkson connection to Alaska in their new Associate Coach, but I don't believe there was overlap with Coach Jones.

Another possible problem would be if some set of the kids notice that so many of the home games are over break, and thus don't bother buying season tickets. Could affect the atmosphere all season.

My admittedly not great and getting progressively worse brain tells me Princeton visited them in the last decade and was granted the 2 extra games.  Or maybe it was Europe.  Fuck aging.
