And FWIW, the portion of the boardwalk that was destroyed was an extension, not the main section that runs past the main beaches and casinos. But it makes good media hype so it was "The Boardwalk."

No doubt about it I'm moving to Bridgeport.
Albany's last regional was in 2010. Looks like it's not returning. Is this due to poor ticket sales? If so, why didn't the ECACHL move to Bridgeport???

Maybe the hurricane could make Boardwalk Hall unusable.
I too am guilty of those thoughts. Glad I'm not the only one with a dark side like that.
I hope everyone in the path of Sandy stays safe.
When I wrote that I was watching CNN's field reporter being blown around the streets of AC and that person made it sound like most people had evacuated so I didn't feel too guilty at the time. Then my power went out and I have pretty much no idea what happened. Hope everyone else made it through ok.

Quinnipiac to host 2014 Women’s Frozen Four
Women's FF comes back East, to a venue we're familiar with.

By far. Especially if you enjoy concrete bunkers.

Interesting that AC or the ECAC perhaps could have cited physical problems and backed out of year 3. Either the Albany Civic Center had a booking that weekend, or AC believed that no matter how soft the turnout, it beat having nothing at all.

The ECAC probably did not want to jump to Albany for only a single year. If the tourney did poorly that would be no benefit, and if it did well then it would be awkward to immediately move on to LP.billhoward

Boardwalk Hall may have contracts with food and merchandise vendors, marketing firms, security companies, cleaners etc which they are still on the hook for if they cancel an event.

They're going to have to Robert Moses about 500 homes to build parking. Right now there's zippo.

Personally, I would find it fantastic if Penn brought their program back and Columbia started a D-I program. Even beyond Yale's recent championship, I think the past 10-12 years featuring strong teams from Cornell and Harvard and even Princeton have shown that schools with Ivy League restrictions (and advantages, to be fair) can be competitive on a national scale, and a fully participating Ivy League would be all the more entertaining because of this. Plus it could open up a legitimate conversation about having our tournament in NYC if a local team were part of the conference.Trotsky

I can imagine the thought process there:
"You know what's awesome? NEW YORK CITY. It has tons of great restaurants, attractions for families, lots to do when the tournament is not in session, it's not too far from any ECAC school (except perhaps Clarkson and SLU, which are far from everything), lots of decent hotels a few miles out for people who can't afford $200/night, public transit for the convenience of visitors, and a built-in fan base comprising alumni from every school.
"But we can't afford NYC. So, how about Atlantic City? It's only two hours from NYC!"

Seemed like we ought to say goodbye. You could see from his obit that Rich S was a decent guy and under 60 is way too young to go. And I did a remote remembrance / eulogy for Percy Shore, 1970s hockey ref, upon his posthumous induction into the Toronto or Ontario Jewish Athletes Hall of Fame <insert punchline here>. The video link of the event posted by another eLynah member showed it got a decent laugh. Now I'm gonna be typecast.Jim Hyla
Bill, nice note on the obit page. Thanksbillhoward
Somebody ought to send the family a note of condolence and appreciation for his being a hockey fan and generally good natured. Maybe they'll be relieved to learn Rich was trolling hockey forums when they feared it was porn sites. Rich, maybe you'll have a better view of the goal mouth now. Farewell.

Instead, I'll just point out that the place where Rich S. had his first date was recently in the news.

Was just in lake Placid on thursday for the first time in a few years. The facility has been upgraded and the town is already promoting the ECAC Playoffs. Now lets just be sure to get there. I'm tempted to make reservations now but hope I'm not doing my best talking about a no hitter jinx.

It is interesting that Belber hasn't given up on the NCAA hockey regionals. I thought that was a no go once Lake Placid won the ECAC battle. I can hope. This topic hit when the hotel renovation was announced earlier this week.

For hockey, capacity is 14,236 in case there's a large draw. If I recall, the center's other desirable attribute is draping that closes off the upper half if this one draws like other NCAA hockey regionals in recent past years.marty

Through 2017, Albany is bidding on women's basketball, men's ice hockey, and women's volleyball.

More lodging available in Lake Placid. The Hampton Inn at the end of Mirror Lake, the end 5 minutes walk from the rink, finally opened just before the Ironman a the end of July. Could be the ECAC has already sewed up the rooms. Still, it's a great location next to the Lake Placid Pub & Brewery:
The Pub has its priorities straight. Cornell pennant is in the front window overlooking the lake (although it does not appear to be the current, University-approved bear image):
The Yale pennant is stuck in back behind a service station:

Lake Placid Pub and Brewery's Ubu Ale is not to be missed (in case anyone didn't realize that already).

Per a tweet from CHN, next year's championship weekend in Lake Placid will have three games instead of four (or five - ugh), as ECAC comes into line with the other leagues:
ECAC decides to finally officially do away with Consolation game. Had been discussed for a while.

Interesting, as the consolation game has seemed to be a make or break game for NCAA tourney chances for one of the participants many times in recent years (as with Cornell in 2012)

I guess the coaches really hate consies, otherwise it seems like a good way to depress tourney revenue for absolutely nothing gained.

How does a consy depress revenue. It increases expenses, but maybe I'm missing something. God knows it's happened many times before.

As much as would have hated to part from scenic AC after the Harvard debacle in 2012, I only stayed for the consy because I knew a win over Colgate would get us in to the NCAA's.

I ran one of those DIY Pairwise scripts back in 2012 and at the time was pretty sure Cornell would have made the NCAA field if there had not been a consolation game.

But for us long-distance travellers, the second hotel night is already paid for. That makes it harder to leave town if we're not in the finals.
It's the reason I always hated the Thursday night play-in game.
