hey guys

alum here down in Vestal. this would be a good way to set up get togethers and what not for away trips too

good idea btw for this club

[atb9]

well, we don't want to step on the toes of the CHA since 5/6 of our founding members are members of the CHA (soon to be 6/6, I think)...but we are working on road trips and we'll grow from just setting up road trips as the organization grows!  thanks for the input!  I don't want to get your hopes too high too soon...  ;-)

[Q]soon to be 6/6, I think[/Q]

Yep :-D

Read the article.  With any luck, this will significantly boost student membership of the Red Line.

And, as I write this, I suddenly realize that Hahvahd Square is along the Red Line on the T in Boston.  So I guess we've already fully colonized Lynah East. :-P

May I make another suggestion for the Red Line?  As it is a Cornell student hockey association, perhaps there should be some effort to attend some women's games in addition to the men's games.  Although the women have not had the same success the men have had of late, in the past, the women's teams have won ECAC titles.

I think you mean Ivy titles.  I'm pretty sure they've never won the ECACs (which was the de facto national championship until Minnesota started a women's team a few years back).

From the Sun article:
". . . and even instituting a screening process for fans to be allowed to sit in the coveted section B. "

Yeah...my knowledge of women's hockey history is clearly lacking.  All the more reason to include them.

Yes the rink is desolate during women's hockey, and yes this is unfair to some degree.  But, not only is the women's team not as talented as the men's team, but women's hockey in general is a more low-key less exciting sport.  Add to that the fact that you're not allowed to taunt the other team (at least, the band was reprimanded for doing so) and you've got one boring venue.

It's hardly "unfair" that people don't go to women's hockey games.  Unfortunate maybe, but it's not a fairness issue.

While women's hockey doesn't have the same amount of energy when it comes to hitting and aggressive play, they still give lots of effort and games can be very entertaining. This Sunday, the band will be at the game, so it's a good opportunity to go when some people will be in the stands.
