Opponent and other news and results 2025-2026

For reference, I fully believe we will be at least fine next year. But who's going to be in net?

Roest? Katz? Neither has had like, any playing time. Do we bring in Cirka and pray?

It appears Adam knows already who is incoming

Cournoyer entering portal. Competing for national titles was fun while it lasted.

siiigh. this too shall pass... but HOLY FUCK is it annoying.

how much money is being thrown at him?

Not trying to relitigate this but highly doubt it's about money

He's the starter at a good hockey team that makes the NCAAs on the regular. Why would you transfer out if it wasn't scholarship/other money?

Perception that the ECAC is a weak league is probably the biggest problem. He may also be struggling in school or doesn't like the coaches, who knows. I just think when you have a prospect trying to make the NHL then getting 30-50K from a B10 school isn't the biggest thing. But let's see where he ends up I guess.

Concerned about player turnover under Casey tbh.

If we're getting a transfer goalie... well. Time to refresh the portal ad nauseam.

I'm guessing you have no basis for saying that, but it fits your ongoing view of the Cornell hockey world:  "There has to be someone I can blame for my disappointment."

I didn't want to say anything about school struggles, but certainly a possibility.

Landing him is pretty huge for Wisconsin, no? Didn't Hauser go pro this year?

Huh? Wouldn't it be easier to blame it on money?

[CornellLonghorn]

It's all fun and games until he goes to QPAC because they can pay him. Absolute malpractice at this point by the athletic department that we don't have some sort of NIL/Rev Share program with our players. Absolutely pathetic that we cannot keep a kid who we were the only team to give him a chance and the second he is offered a penny he is on his way out. Meanwhile you see Dartmouth keep all of there kids and hit the portal with the Dman. WAKE UP AND GET WITH THE CHANGING TIMES!

BTW - that was like 5th hand - so who knows what's true anymore. Don't print it

Hauser just finished the Frozen Four. I don't think he's going anywhere - unless they're kicking him out.

Of course

So why the hell would Cournoyer go there, then? To be, presumably, stuck behind Hauser?

I think player turnover is unfortunately just going to be part of a postNIL landscape...

If you think he's not getting money ...

Pretty sure Quinnipiac could barely pay him anything even if they wanted to. Pecknold was just complaining they barely have any money. Dartmouth also cannot pay their players for the same reasons Cornell can't.

You're right about one thing though - Some rich donors are going to have to figure something out soon or we aren't going to be competitive nationally anymore. Not because other schools are buying off our players, but because our players are leaving for various reasons, mostly our shitty conference/academic rigors/lack of scholarships, and we are going to somehow have to incentivize them to stay.

College hockey really has changed and it sucks. Better have someone other than Roest or Katz as our starter next year or the ceiling gets lowered quite a bit.
