2006-7 Schedule

[Jim Hyla]

All I have is the ECAC part of the schedule. You can guess much of the rest, but I'll try this evening to see if Sue Detzer has an update. None as of 1/7.

The ?'s are open slots where we normally could have games.

What a way to end the season! Those @ Harvard tickets will be tough to get.

So much for preformatting.

looking at the previous year and this year...
we should(?) have this game as part of home and home swaps as well.

@ RIT

teams we played this season whose home and home are done.
niagara (rochester was a niagara home game)
mich state

I wonder if a game at RIT is in the works for next year. Also of note, we never played at Canisius after the home game last year. I would like a game in buffalo

LGR!

[BCrespi]

Yeah, but do you want that enough to take up one of our valuable NC games with Canisius?

[redGrinch]

I suppose Colgate home-and-home will be 1/26-27 (or some such 2-day combination that week)?

[las224]

I find it interesting that Harvard will be the first home game.  First home game is normally big enough anyway; seems like it'd be better to have it with a team that otherwise wouldn't draw the fans.  Whereas - Harvard will always be full.

Also - only one weekend of home games the entire fall semester???

It's not unusual to have only one home ECAC weekend in the fall semester.  That being said, I'm guessing we'll get at least two home nonconference games as well in the fall, probably in late October and/or over Thanksgiving weekend.

[CowbellGuy]

Sorry about the preformatting. I'll get to that soon.

An NC pair against a decent western team would make that schedule look a lot better (in addition to what I'm guessing will be two in Florida, one return game at RIT, and two against AH teams early on).

Unless the semester ends at Thanksgiving these days or the league is kicking out RPI and Union, I see two weekeds of home conference games in Jim's schedule...

It is worth noting however that in years past the home/away ECAC weekends have sometimes flipped when the schedule is finalized as have the order of games (i.e. fri/sat). This schedule looks a little more polished than in the past though when it would just list travel partners in alphabetical order, so it may be more reliable.

[Jim Hyla]

This schedule is from the ECAC office, through Sue Detzer. So I'd guess it's reasonably firm. Sue had no updates as of Sat..

If RPI can hold off Brown this year, it looks like they'll be putting a 16 year Big Red Freakout undefeated streak on the line against the Big Red next spring. I had heard that Cornell was going to be the opponent next year and this schedule would seem to confirm that as it's  been the penultimate home Saturday for a few years running (though the opponents may have played a role). The last (and only) time Cornell was the Freakout guest was in 1982- a 7-4 Cornell win.

Remember that we're due to play Maine in the first round in Florida next season, and UNH is also in the field.

That's still more than one can say about a lot of teams' fanbases.

Maine fans on USCHO are reporting the games as:
Cornell vs. UNH
Maine vs. Western Michigan
