Good to know so when I start negotiating my job offers I can ask for the March 1 weekend off

What is meant by 'Canadian scrimmage'? Just the Canadian players on the team will scrimmage each other a la red-white game? That makes no sense.

Also, why will the RIT game be on neutral territory? Is there MORE construction planned for Lynah?

The RIT game is at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, therefore neutral, sort off.:-)

I guess they learned their lesson this year when under 200 people showed up for the Niagra-Colgate game.

If Cornell fans don't turn out better than they did last year for the Niagara game at BCA -- it will be a home game for RIT. Granted it was Thanksgiving weekend, but with all the Cornell alums in Rochester I thought the turnout was disappointing.

RIT's coach has reportedly been working on this for a while. They're trying to get broader community support (Rochester is a pretty strong hockey town -- the Amerks draw well and junior hockey is popular and successful) and the city needs to learn what D1 sports are all about. For Cornell, getting in front of Rochester youth players is a great idea. Rochester could be a strong recruiting area for Cornell. I'd like to see them play up there every few years -- either against RIT or a strong WCHA or CCHA team that needs a bigger gate than Lynah might provide. This is also an opportunity for Cornell fans to show how willing they are to support the team in Rochester. If BCA manages its Regional well this spring they will probably get more in the future. It wouldn't hurt to plant that seed in the NCAA's mind.

Jim, thanks for putting this together.

Forgive my ignorance, but I thought the definition of a scrimmage was that it was the team playing itself, like in a practice? Is there a broader definition that includes opposing teams?

maybe they put all the Canadians on one side and the rest of the players on the other and play each other

Fri 16 Harvard              Away  7:00

^--- is it too early to call the Harvard ticket office and place our orders yet?

[French Rage]

Odd that the Harvard game is in the fall again.  Seems it alternates between fall and spring each year.

The lax team plays "scrimmages" vs. other teams every season.

[quote las224]Forgive my ignorance, but I thought the definition of a scrimmage was that it was the team playing itself, like in a practice?

You may play Red Zone offense-defense, practice punts and kickoffs, 4 on 4, PP and PK, etc..

If las224 is asking about what distinguishes scrimmages from exhibition games, this is it.  Both don't "count" but exhibitions take on the appearance/rules of real games.

[Beeeej]

It does.  2006-07, home is in fall and away is in the spring; 2007-08, it's the opposite.  What are you seeing that's odd?

Whoops, I was looking for an "@" and not the next column.

Exactly what I meant; thank you for the clarification.

Thanks for reporting the status.  
Is it my browser, or are there two blanks lines after each game in the listing?  Maybe the formatting could be tightened up.

EDIT: Now I see that you noticed the same effect http://elf.elynah.com/read.php?1,99428,99617#msg-99617. I'm looking with Netscape 6.2.3
