2011-2012 Season Schedules

Re: 2011-2012 Season Schedules

I have updated the spreadsheet according to your suggestions. However, going from OpenOffice to Google Docs did not translate well with one of my formulas, specifically the one that counts in-conference games. Is there a way to edit the settings so that the count does not only count the entire name? What's going on is that the in conference counter is not counting the league games that are exempt (i.e. Alaska games in Alaska). I had adjusted this by option within OpenOffice so it looks OK, but doesn't translate well onto Google Docs.

BTW I don't want to take out the parentheses, because that will affect how I calculate the exemptions.

On a different note, you can probably include the Beanpot for the 4 Boston-area schools, no? February 6- Harvard vs. Boston University and Northeastern vs. Boston College. February 13- Consolation and Championship Game. This looks awesome though, thanks for doing it.

No prob. And thanks for the beanpot information; it shall be included.

EDIT: Also amended the ECAC schedule, since Harvard will likely get those Saturdays off.

Great effort. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. It always puzzles me why some schools think it is a top secret, national security issue that they don't release their schedules. Thanks.

Probably because they are preliminary at this point and don't want to mislead their patrons until they areabsolutely sure that everything is correct.

College football programs release their schedules like five years in advance. Not sure why college hockey teams cannot release "Tentative" schedules. Creates a buzz and excitement.

Wouldn't know for sure. Obviously UAA and UA_ have to release first because their schedule directly affects how many games a team can play in a given year.

Good point. Why are college hockey schools so slow on releasing schedules?

Colgate's schedule. I'm not able to update the spreadsheet from my present location, but will do so when able.

It's all about building availability. For instance, the Colorado College team shares the World Arena. Big time events and concerts roll through all the time, so it's nearly impossible to hammer out schedules in advance since college hockey teams don't usually have priority to the building if they don't have a campus arena.

Re: 2011-2012 Season Schedules

I've got no problem with the current set-up where schedules start to trickle out in April and most are out by May. What I don't understand is those schools that haven't released their schedules by the end of the previous school year. As an example, most schedules are set in stone by now (the Spring coaches meetings in Florida being the benchmark). I remember a couple of my years in college getting the NMU schedule before I left for summer and other times not getting it until I got back in the fall (this was pre-USCHO and, basically the internet was in its infancy). The fact that some schools (Alabama-Huntsville stands out in my memory along wit Michigan) as schools that used to wait until September to release their schedules. That just doesn't make any sense to me. In one of those, "if I ruled college hockey," moments, I'm sure I've said that I'd make all schools release their schedules on the same day - likely one day after the coaches meeting.

That would make planning for road (or air) trips easier! The past 2 seasons, I've had ND's schedule posted weeks before the school site posts it. What's the big mystery? I wonder what the over/under will be this season as I have 1/4 of their weekends pencilled in already.
