Intriguing.  Maybe NoDak is coming to Florida.  Hard, bordering on impossible, to fathom why they would ever come to Lynah.

North Dakota traveled to Cheel in 99 and Appleton in 01, so I could imagine them coming to Lynah.
Hey, who knows, maybe they really like upstate NY!

since PRI bonus points are now awarded only for OOC road wins vs. top 15 teams, coming to Lynah would be an opportunity to pick up that bonus.  One problem with being an Ivy team with a limited schedule is that we have very few (none this year) opportunities to pick up those points.

Other than that, that's what I was going to say.

I'm going to assume that the NoDak fans are serious college hockey supporters. The historical and recent success of both schools make this a fun OOC draw for the fans out West also when we travel there.

There will be changes to the schedule...it appears they are over the contest limitations as set by the Ivy League.

I hope the subtext here isn't that NoDak has won the Riley sweepstakes & the schools want to schedule a brother vs brother series. Regardless, that would be a road trip that can't be missed.

Bump... the CHA Faceoff I got via email today confirms the schedule as Jim posted it, with the change of "Concordia" in place of "Canadian Scrimmage" and flipping some travel partners.

3 TBAs still exist, but as we have 29 games without them, it seems nearly certain that they'll just disappear.

Looks like a pretty complete schedule. No way we're having a game the night before BU, and it seems like there's usually only one game the weekend after New Year's.

Seems pretty obvious that the Florida tournament would have Cornell-Lowell, Clarkson-Maine as the Friday games.

Why not Cornell-Maine, Clarkson-Lowell?  Based on last year, you'd have to argue that the top two "seeds" in the tourney would be Clarkson and Maine, so they shouldn't meet in the semi.

why not set it up so that it is just a series of games, not a tourney? that way you could ensure that cornell/clarkson and maine/lowell don't play each other. we see enough of eachother with the conference schedule

Valid point.  But salling it a tournament probably sounds better (advertising) and some folks like to play for some hardware, even if it's relatively minor.

Of course, the real solution is to have no other EzCAC team than Cornell and not other HEA team than Maine.  But that's more easily said than done.

Thanks, I updated my first post. What travel partners did you switch?

What I posted is exactly what I got from the CHA. All I meant is that there seemed to be some travel partner flips from what you had originally posted in October. Although it looks the same now so perhaps if you didn't already change those, then perhaps I was just getting confused when comparing and matched a home and away weekend incorrectly.

Fixed. Jeez, when did you go soft, Greg?
