Opponents and other news and results 2026-2027

After the game in Potsdam earlier, ECAC currently has the 2nd worst OOC record without any non-exhibition games involving Ivy League schools having been played. That changes on Thursday when Harvard opens its season in Cambridge, but currently Q and Union are in the top five of NPI. After that, you have RPI at #24 with a winning record but much a lower quality win bonus. To no one's surprise, SLU and Colgate are at or near the bottom.

Bad for the league, but good for the soul.

Harvard's Friday game against Northeastern is classified as an "exhibition." Exhibitions are, AFAIK, unlimited.   Could we play Ivies 6 ahem "exhibitions" to get ready for the season?

I don't think exhibition games are unlimited, as far as the NCAA goes.  I think they still fall within the 34 game limit.  Of course that means the Ivies technically have a bit more wiggle room in this regard, but I'd be surprised if the Ivy League also didn't put a limit on exhibitions in a season.

Exhibitions do NOT fall within the 34-game limit. All the teams that play 34 games, also play exhibitions.

But evidently we are now limited to 1 exhibition, so the Ivies have a 31-game limit including 1 exhibition.

Harvard wins its home opener against UMass and first game under the new coach. Somehow that warrants #2 in NPI. They play again tomorrow in Amherst

Can't beat that winning percentage.  Let's hope we follow suit.
