Thanks ;)

I had heard Castleton and Plymouth State as possible teams but hadn't heard anything on Lawrence. Decent field for the Pathfinder. Be interesting to see what Laker fans think of Castleton next year.
 
Re: 2012-2013 Holiday Tournament Fields

Official Pathfinder Tournament schedule:

December 30
Castleton State vs. Lawrence - 4 p.m.
Oswego State vs. Plymouth State - 7 p.m.

December 31
Plymouth State vs. Castleton State/Lawrence - 1 p.m.
Oswego State vs. Castleton State/Lawrence - 4 p.m.

Since this is a week before the Norwich Tournament, I'm thinking about making the trek back to the Land of Oz for a couple days to take this in. I'll be very curious to see how Castleton matches up with Oswego should that matchup present itself.

Jabber, got a room available? ;)

Wow 2 of my favorite teams playing in Oswego, Castleton and Plymouth. It will be a big stage for Castleton and to some degree the ECAC E for competitive reasons. Very interesting field with the teams coming from everywhere.

The Pathfinder always tries to get teams coming from everywhere, including one Western team.

Adding SNC to the mix should make it a very interesting tourney in 2013...

Agreed. I'm very interested to see who the other two teams are for the 2013 field.

Get a Utica/Hobart/Manhattanville along with a Amherst/Williams/Bowdoin/Trinity etc. and you've got one heck of a tournament with huge NCAA selection process implications.

Not as huge for SNC as for the other three though...

Courtesy of the Morrisville schedule we now know the Skidmore Thanksgiving Classic schedule:

Nice blend of teams.

Prez shouldn't this be considered one of the best holiday tournaments this year. Also looks like Castleton is trying to upgrade its schedule in a big way. Every year I am waiting for Castleton to make the leap to a NCAA final 8 team; maybe this will be the year. On another note I always thought Spartan Arena was a good distance from the College but it doesn't seem much farther than the Domes is from Elmira College.

It's an okay field. I wouldn't say its anywhere near one of the best holiday tournaments honestly.

Manhattanville isn't the Manhattanville of the mid to late 2000's anymore.

Tufts and Brockport are normally toward the bottom of their respective conferences.
 
I know Manhattanville will be participating in the Middlebury Holiday Classic on December 30th and the 31st. I'm not sure who the other two teams are that will be joining Manhattanville and Middlebury.

Southern Maine has been coming to that tournament for years as the Middlebury and USM coaches are brothers. I would assume USM will be there. Lately though I don't think it has had four teams and only three. I could be wrong on that. Hopefully it's back to four this year and Manhattanville is a solid addition to the field. Does anyone know if Manhattanville has ever played Middlebury besides the 2007 NCAA semifinal? That's the only time I recall it happening.
