Level B Fishbowl

Space and cost typically. Penn, for example, had a D1 team for a decade and even has a rink on campus that's still in use. However, after the team was cut during financial struggles at the end of the 70's, the university has made no real effort to bring back a D1 team.

Admissions and not having the same hockey pedigree as Harvard. Southwestern and South Central Connecticut are hockey hotbeds so location shouldn't be the issue in theory.

The saga continues. I'd read the comments but I can't be bothered to create an x account

I've always thought UND would be a good opponent at MSG for the Frozen Apple game and am surprised it hasn't happened already

My understanding is that Harvard is known for underpaying employees given the high cost of living in the Boston area, but this particular position is endowed, so that may be less of an issue.

This came out of nowhere. Teddy was someone you figured had that job as long as he wanted and I don't necessarily think he was pushed out based on this statement and his connections. It could be that he genuinely didn't believe he could keep up given all the forces that are present in the NCAA and additionally with the kind of challenges that being at Harvard presents

BU doesn't surprise me and I had heard it was going to happen anyway once they evaluated the considerations. Clarkson is interesting, though, and you have to figure Quinnipiac may follow suit. As for the rest of the conference, who knows (except for the Ivys where it will never happen in a million years)

I saw the McNally article (she has a great future in sports media if she pursue that route given what she's done the past ~4 years). He's basically a mercenary, which is to be expected in this current climate. ECAC schools haven't had to deal with this on such a significant scale until recently, but Jones rightfully realizes that there are some players who actually want to play at a school like Cornell (hence the four transfer player entries in the past four years). As for Yale, we'll see how that goes with the new coach. If it's up to the alumni, fine, but it'll be a tough hill to climb given the state of the program.

Maybe Malinoski thrives in a different environment under a new system. PC under Leaman hasn't exactly been a high-powered offensive team, as he tends to coach a more defensive structured style and usually can't get the same kind of high-end talent that some other schools in HEA can.

Yale continuing to be a doormat is bad for the conference. Unfortunately, I think that will be so as long as that AD is in place. A shame given the location and how pretty that campus is

Yeah, that's why I mentioned Big 10 although the money could be dubious given that it's Wisconsin. The previous Cornell transfer to a Big 10 team (Robertson) seemed to do it because of more resources for athletics (including scholarships, which the Ivys don't offer due to policy) and the ability to play in a better conference, which seems to have worked out for him so far except for the lack of a national championship. Cournoyer's transfer is evidently a different situation, and unlike Michigan, Wisconsin hasn't exactly been much of a contender the past 10-15 years. Even Cornell has many more NCAA appearances over that time

Some folks think there was stuff going on behind the scenes between the timing of the announcement and the fact that he wasn't at the team's awards banquet. Also, I can't imagine he would be guaranteed the starting spot over Hauser and that he won't have to split time. Odd decision unless you consider academics, wanting to play in the Big 10, or both. Regardless, Cornell did pick up Mathis Rousseau from Maine, so that seems to fill the need.

Philadelphia would be great again and the airport is very well connected. The arena isn't in the center of the city, but it's really not a big deal with the quick 20-25 minute subway ride from city hall. Not sure what the appetite is for another FF there.

I thought it was a joke at first. Cornell is screwed next season barring a miracle, because he was a big reason they even got into the NCAA's and Denver would've scored more than 4 (the 5th goal was ENG) if he wasn't in net for that game.

He was unbearable in the Loveland regional
