Good news: Andy Mac had a goal and two assists last night in the Blues 4-3 win over San Jose.

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
It was fantastic
And a bit of poetic justice for the nasty check to the head he got in Game 2.

Cornwall Colts got blasted 5-2 with the 4 incoming 'Gate frosh kept off the scoresheet.
Fortunately, Nepean's d-man Ryan Johnston, also a 'Gate incoming frosh, had a goal and two assists to be named the game's first star . . . .
Series tied 2-2.

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
How about the prior game where Cornwall took a 5-1 win? Number of goals scored by future Colgate players - 5 of 6, number of total assists by future Colgate players 6 of 9. Johnston for Nepean, Borokowski (2) and both Spinks boys for Cornwall. Big jump to college coming next year but its fun to dream about what might be. . .

Paper says Jesse Winchester sat out the 3rd period and OT last night after an upper body injury vs. the Rangers. Hope he gets back in the series and has some additional experience chasing the Stanley Cup.
Good news about "our" Cornwall Colts and Nepean players...Yay!

Just found this. Thought others who hadn't seen it yet might be interested.

Your schedule: http://gogatehockey.blogspot.com/2012/04/2012-13-tentative-schedule-captains.html
Looks like you guys are keeping with the non-ivy tradition of a third game against your (non-)travel "partner" (Q-Pac).

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
Which part do you want explained?
Why raise the money? As with any capital project the school will fund raise the amount necessary to build (in this case a new hockey arena). They'll then borrow about the same amount, maybe a bit less. The borrowed money will be used to fund the construction project with all of the donated money going into the endowment. The borrowing costs being substantially less than the short or long term investment rates, the school will get positive arbitrage and be able to use the power of inflation to gladly pay you fifty cents tomorrow for a dollar today.
Why all from the "Colgate Community"? Who else would pay? and remember all one needs to do to be a member of the Colgate Community it to donate. So if Google suddenly wants to pony up $37 million for a new hockey arena at a small but awesome school out in the middle of nowhere - they're a member!
Why $37 million? Well in 2007 Quinnipiac completed a $52 million combined hockey and basketball facility. Assuming 4% inflation, that's $74 million in 2014 dollars (that's my guess as to when they hope to break ground). Half of $74 million is - $37 million. Hopefully that's enough to build in some good bells and whistles - some sort of Silver Puck/Private function/Luxury Box set up, hall of fame/history area and hopefully some pretty sophisticated television capabilities. Colgate is notorious for being slow on upgrades but has typically done it right when it finally does it. A $37 million budget seems like they plan to continue that tradition. And I'd expect it to be improved even more when a year after finishing the new rink, they break ground on the new $37 million basketball/volleyball/varsity sport support facility!

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
Thank you "Gate93", very informative ! I guess the "shocker" to me was that I was told by a Gate official that we were" five million short" of the needed funds about a year ago .What have they been doing in the meantime, does that mean we're starting with no funding in the present ?
How long do you think it will take to raise the 37 million?

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
Good questions, Shabby. Not to be a Debby-Downer but I was a little dissapointed in the rendering I saw of the new building. I hope it turns out better than it looks on paper. Not sure that it is the equal of the Q-pac rink, and that is the facility that new recruits will be measuring us by, I would guess. Hope 'Gate does more than just meet the minimal standards for the building. Hope we have some unique features and take some risks archictecturally to capture the hearts and minds of very talented recruits. (I may be worrying excessively, but we only have one chance to get this right...at least in my lifetime)

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
Seating bowl design is the exact same as Quinnipiac/Clarkson/Dartmouth with the walk-way around the top of the seating bowl surrounding it. You would walk down from the walk-way into your seats. From the specs, it appears there is going to be a large window much like there is in one end of Quinnipiac's rink. And we know the press box will be at center ice.
Capacity with standing room I believe is estimated to be around 2500 or so.

Re: Colgate offseason speculations
I am speechless! The sooner they get this permanently onto the Colgate website to raise money, the better. What is the hold-up? Like others, was also wondering if a basketball facility will be far behind...seems ludicrous to build one half and not the other. Looks like they're taking a style similar to Hobey Baker Rink a-la the renovated Case Library. How long will it take to build? Where will it be located? Where to play in the meantime? If they can have hockey at Fenway, I say we have hockey on Taylor Lake.
Have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. Thought the article by DelGiacco was very articulate and well-written without being pushy. IMHO a very, very good decision for Colgate and the future of men's AND women's ice hockey, and hopefully basketball. Very happy for current players, coaches, and future recruits. It's about time but no fault to Colgate for taking its time and trying to get this right. It is a big investment that needs to stand the test of time and, regrettably, not everyone supports athletics. Hopefully this is something we can all be proud of.
