Women to Lake Placid - 2026

First time the ECAC Women's Tournament has its final weekend in Lake Placid, and Cornell just punched their ticket.

This deserves a thread. With the correct year.

😅 I can fix the year in the old thread...

Quinnipiac and Princeton won their Game 3s, so they will meet in one semi and Cornell gets Yale in the other, I believe.

Minnesota-Duluth got knocked out of the WCHA playoffs by Minnesota State, so that possibly makes the race for the last at-large NCAA bid a bit more interesting, though I don't feel like seeing how it affects Cornell's chances right now. Maybe later tonight.

Just got an email from Cornell Athletics about women's tickets

LET'S GO RED!!

Yale rocking a very Penn St. grey look instead of home white. "Bulldogs" across the front. Never seen a Yale team go so non-traditional.

Love when I turn on the game four minutes late and we're winning.

Adam scores in the first minute!

Band is there and sounds strong.

Lots of slipping and sliding on this ice sheet, for whatever reasons... Pierre McGuire should not be anywhere near a microphone

He's anointed himself "Mr. ECAC." Very little energy after the pre-game comments. Mumble gravel mumble.

Apparently he calls Ingalls "The Whale Tail," (not "the Yale Whale" like the rest of the world) thus demonstrating his credibility. Ugh.

Pierre is one of the best things about this broadcast IMO. Audio is behind the video feed. Penalty time not displayed on screen. Also, why take these games off campus? Women's hockey does not have a large enough following for a neutral tournament to make sense.

Hell yeah!

Still in the trenches with NHL trade deadline shit but I'm gonna get the game on soon.

I've expressed this sentiment to everyone I have spoken to about this. My prediction is they move back to campus sites as soon as the current contract is completed.

Start of the 2nd, 2-1 Yale. Yale took over the rest of the first, leading in faceoffs, shots, and goals. Both Yale goals were off rebound scrambles.

andyw2100 · March 06, 2026, 04:56:37 PM

Yale just scored on a 4 on 1. 3-1 Yale.

I'm confused how this got approved in the first place. The atmosphere at Lynah last year was great. It wouldn't be great at most other rinks, but still should be better than a largely empty arena like what we have here. Plus less travel for teams and fans...?
