2025-26 Men's Schedule

The difference between 29 and 30 regular season games doesn't matter too much IMO. The bigger issue is that we play our first game against a team that already has 5 or so games under its belt. Reducing that disparity from 5 to 4 doesn't move the needle much. If this is one step on the path to 34 games then I guess that's a positive.

UMass will have played 7 games prior to meeting Cornell.  Cornell will have played the 2 exhibitions, against fairly competitive teams at least.

OK - I was apparently mistaken.  I called some powers that be and confirmed that the Ivy League just recently approved a 30th game.  This replaces one of the exhibitions they had been allowing.  So, many teams just turned one of their exhibitions against another Ivy, into a "real" game.  Other schools actually found a 30th from outside the league.

Glad to see this happen since I've been saying for years it was ridiculous to allow 2 weekends of exhibitions, yet not allow more regular-season games, since they're the same demand on a player's schedule.  But, in typical Ivy fashion, this news was never released, and there's no mention of it on their web site.

I like the rule change, but I sure wish it had been made earlier and with some public indication that it had been made.

BearLover is quite correct that the bigger issue is the late practice start.

[DHammond]

The Ivy League just extended the regular season game maximum to 30 games effective this season. I wonder if we'll add another game.

EDIT: Didn't see the previous post regarding this. Tried to delete but couldn't.

PSA: Recommended viewing for those who are unaware of the UAF Nanooks intro video from 15 years ago (and perhaps also for those who haven't watched it in a while).

I thought for sure someone had posted that the last time we played them, but I couldn't find the post.  Destroying the other old CCHA schools is a blast from the past.

The previous one was also good:

Next week student tickets come out. Already setting my alarm for 5:30 am Tuesday.

I see it's $209 for "all home-hosted competition," excluding 4 games over winter break. Does that mean it covers any home playoff games as well?

Assuming 2 home playoff games, that's $16/game. Which is an incredible bargain compared to pro sporting events (one Rangers game in these seats would cost way more than the entire season ticket package) but still probably high enough to price out a lot of students.

They do cover playoff games as well as exhibitions, which have had a great turnout in recent years.

Unfortunately there will always be some dedicated fans priced out and some rich kids that buy tickets but never show up.

Plus then they give you the women's season tickets at a discount too! Or at least they did last year. Which means you're getting down to, say, $10 a game or so. Hoping the "off" weekends aren't super high priced.

I just checked & the cheapest ticket price for the Rangers home opener on a Tuesday vs the Penguins is $198 (way up in the 400s).  Lynah tix are a great value.

Woke up at 5:30 today to ensure I'd be alive by 6 to begin the Eternal Refresh for season tickets. Plaace your bets on what time between 6 and 10 am they will drop.

Whoa! When you first said you were setting your alarm for 5:30, I thought you were doing so to get in line and sleep overnight, to be able to buy tickets that wouldn't be sold yet for a few days.

Are you saying that now it's just done remotely?

Refreshing isn't it?
