Colgate 2019-20

Well they announced the Captain (McAvoy) and the As (Cosgrove, Jeanson and McKechney) so it’s starting to sound like we will have some sort of a season. I suspect the ECAC is just waiting to hear if all of the Ivys are out or only some.

Looks like Colgate and Clarkson will meet a couple times in non conference action.. Clarkson released its non conference portion of the schedule. Starting November 22 against Colgate in Hamilton.

NHPublic radio is reporting that the New England states plus New Jersey have jointly agreed to bar intrastate hockey competitions til at least year end. Article says it applies to public schools, private schools and youth leagues. May, but probably doesn't apply to college/university level. Even if it doesn't there will be a fair amount of pressure on NCAA level to comply or at least take fairly draconian steps to ensure they don't end up becoming spreaders. I am starting to think an "Empire" league is the way to go. Clarkson, Colgate, Cornell, RPI and Union with an OOC or two against RIT might actually be kind of fun for a year.

RPI is not allowing athletes from any sport (including hockey) to gather, workout, practice, etc. No access to weight rooms, no skating (I don't think they've even laid ice at the Field House). Starting goalie Owen Savory entered the transfer portal ...that about sums it up. Anything resembling RPI hockey is a loooooooong shot sadly.

So Cornell is out, RIT apparently opted out earlier and it sounds like RPI is shelved for the season too. Union has cancelled other winter sports but remains on the fence with hockey per their web site while St. L says hockey will happen thought other winter sports are out (they are in the same league as Union). Sounds like, at best a 16-18 game season (double header home and homes with Clarkson, St. L, Union and Q-pac with an OOC or 2 against an Atlantic team maybe?) Obviously no ECAC this year so everything will technically be OOC. Sad but hard to be surprised. Harvard has been telegraphing no hockey since early summer at the latest.
 
After some digging, Clarkson website shows the game on ESPN+ on their composite schedule page, 3:00PM from Class of 65 Arena.
 
Thanks, Shabby.
I don’t have a TV provider (my choice), so NBC Sports was out for me last night (although I watched 10 minutes of teaser of Wisconsin at Notre Dame).
I do have FloRacing subscription, which gives me FloHockey, so I watched Bowling Green defeat D-3 Adrian last night. BGSU apparently has 300-fan Covid restrictive limit.
I do have ESPN+ subscription for ECAC Hockey.
Two take-aways... great to see live college hockey again and piped-in fan sound is silly.
 
Students fall semester ends and they go home at Thanksgiving until spring semester so noone will be around Sunday I'm guessing. Might they let a few hundred people attend the game, hoping but assuming no.
 
RPI pulled the plug yesterday and rumblings are that Union will follow suit today. What's the latest in Hamilton, will the CCT game be held on Sun ?

Heard yest from a fairly reliable source that Cornell might be playing a few games.

I would highly doubt that as it would require a break from the Ivy lockdown lock step. That being said, Fat Mike will be the host of Ken Schott's podcast today at 2PM so we can hear it for ourselves...
 
Wicked, the ‘gate faithful will find out on Monday via a FAX whether the Clarkson at Colgate game was played on Sunday. “Thank you for your continued commitment to Colgate hockey” will be the release’s last line.

Understood Iowa. Seems to be a common theme in the ECAC re: the secrecy and the hockey decision, certainly was the case at RPI... i.e. "....Fans and supporters shall be the last to know.'

Colgate women play a home and home with Syracuse this weekend so I don't see why the Clarkson game would not go forward.
