Re: ECAC Finals in Providence at the "Dunk"?
I have no actual data or inside information, but some comments that Schafer has made in the past with regard to pressure from the AD to schedule home games, etc, have led me to believe that even Cornell hockey only approximately breaks even. If that is the case, what chance do most other ECAC schools have to break even? The only others I would think might even get close would be Yale, RPI, and Clarkson, but the last two have the added expense of 18 scholarships to support, also.

The league couldn't generate revenue on its own if Hagwell & Co. lives depended on it.Last edited by Wholin1; 08-29-2011, 04:55 PM.

As much as I like Lake Placid, you have to remember that Plattsburgh State, ORDA, and the NCAA seem to have a deal worked out to periodically host the D-III championships the same weekend as the D-I conference finals. LP is hosting in both 12 and 13, so the earliest the ECAC can try to get back in Herb Brooks will be 2014.

Not even going to say it. I'll get my knuckles slapped with a metal ruler.

Seems like I am not alone on Albany having much to offer relative to other locales.
