If you can't beat 'em, beat the shit out of 'em.

Interesting that the scrimmage is against a Czech team and not a Canadian one.

Presumably set up when we made the trip a few years ago?

Maybe Casey can recruit the next Ondrej Psenicka.

Four week homestand in the worst time of year, starting with two out of conference opponents that aren't very independently attractive... Well, guess I'm not travelling this Christmas. But we do get the NTDP U-18 game, which is nice.

Weather (and toddler, and move, and PTO) permitting, I'm tempted to come up the first two of those weekends (maybe even make the first one a four-day New Year's visit), because I really love being there in person to see Cornell play teams I've never seen them play in person before. And with UNO and UAF, you never know when your next chance might be.

I won't be seeing any more Cornell hockey except for Lake Placid and NC$$s.  Still I think the opening weekend with a tough UMass squad is a very attractive ticket.  Conversely, I like the 4-game UNO/UAF string as an opportunity to roll up NC wins after integrating our armada of new players.  

"No freshmen after New Year's."

Someone needs to make some Space Bear signs or something.

For sure - I'm super stoked for UNO (have I told the story of the QMJHL jersey yet...) and UAF could be a really fun team as well. But it's not a Denver or a Michigan type of opponent, and during the doggest days of Ithacan winter it'll be tough to get asses in seats.

The UA games to open 21-22 were excellent. UA was small and fast and hit a lot.  They've been pretty good for years, in the pwr 20s last year.  Remarkable considering their frankly insane travel. Omaha has been up and down but gets points for playing in a strong league. All in all could have been much weaker teams. Not sexy but competitive and shouldnt hurt our OOC or sos.

Was there a tweak to Ivy scheduling rules? It looks like most of the other Ivies are playing 8 non-conference games this season. (Several are playing one of their non-conference games against another Ivy.)

Those are exhibitions. They've been doing that for years.

Unless they're not labeling one of these as an exhibition, Harvard has 8 nonconference games on its schedule —UConn, Stonehill, Vermont, Michigan x2, BU, Beanpot x2.

Dartmouth is calling its game against Yale a non-conference game.

Princeton's press release announcing its 2025-26 schedule explicitly labels it a "30-game regular season slate"

I have observed that the Ivy men's hockey programs that have announced a schedule with 30 regular-season games (Harvard, Dartmouth, and Princeton) each play only one exhibition/scrimmage.
