I got those numbers right here at USCHO. I clicked on D-I Men, then on Standings, and scrolled down to the ECAC.

As of today, Clarkson has caught up to Quinnipiac and both teams have 17 points. USCHO's standings don't shed any light on whether SO stands for shootout win or shootout loss, nor do they explain how a game gets classified as a T. My first thought would be that a T stands for a game that is tied at the end of regulation, thus ensuring that the team gets one point, and then an additional points would be added if the team won in overtime or in a shootout. But if only three of Quinnipiac's games have been tied at the end of regulation, I don't see how they wound up with one overtime win, one overtime loss, and two shootouts.

Knew you could clear that up for us. If we ever do get to see us playing again I will have to get out my K & E slide rule to follow the standings and statistics. :rolleyes:
 
I noticed that locally Skidmore and almost local Utica College will begin 10 game schedules in February...................................................................................................

OK, I think I have it now.

If Quinnipiac's W-L-T-SO-OW-OL record was 4-2-3-2-1-1 as of the time I entered my original post (they have since suffered another loss), it translated as follows:

The 4 in the W column for Quinnipiac included both regulation and overtime wins, but not shootout wins.
The 2 in the L column included regulation losses only, and did not include either overtime losses or shootout losses.
The 3 in the T column included both shootout wins and shootout losses, but not overtime wins or overtime losses.
The 2 in the SO column included only shootout wins, not shootout losses. If you want to know how many shootout losses a team has, you have to subtract SO from T.
The 1 in the OW column included only overtime wins, not shootout wins.
The 1 in the OL column included only overtime losses, not shootout losses.

To determine the total number of points, apply the formula P = 3 x (W - OW) + 2 x (SO + OW) + 1 x (OL + T - SO),
which, in Quinnipiac's case, worked out to 3 x (4 - 1) + 2 x (2 + 1) + 1 x (1 + 3 - 2) = 17.

I knew those four years as a math major were going to come in handy some day.

Not that I expect anybody at the ECAC headquarters is going to care about my vote, but my vote is that next year the ECAC should scrap the shootout and go back to W-L-T.
 
The L column does include OT losses, but QU doesn't have any.

Add my vote to yours. Living in DC, I am used to my vote not counting:-D
 
It's not the ECAC's decision. The entire NCAA is now required to use 3v3 OT followed by a shootout (for conference games) due to the rule change over the summer

Students back for Spring semester, but any idea how many actually chose to come back to Troy? Same question for the hockey players, how many actually came back this semester for classes with no commitment from administration for ice time/practice/weight room?

The longer this drags on, the higher risk of losing more players in the portal (all sports). And yes, I understand the Covid ordeal has not gone away, but life must go on. Hockey is being played all over the country. SAJ's continued zero communication to her staff/students/student athletes is very sad.

Completely agree. I couldn't help but notice that U. Minn. Duluth will be allowing a limited number of fans at their home games....and yet our guys and gals can't even gather or skate. Truly sad.

But yet an institution, with a reputation of being a leader in innovation, technology etc., and with very strict Covid testing/housing guidelines in place since August, can't figure out how to use a common sense approach to allowing some sort of normalcy for their students/student athletes.

Yes, the big-time colleges played football last fall. And a lot of Division I schools are playing hockey this winter. Yes, we're frustrated that RPI isn't among the latter.

But in regard to spring sports such as lacrosse, the wait-and-see attitude seems to be prevalent at the present time.

RPIathletics shows that last year RPI played its first lacrosse game on February 16. If we were planning to start spring sports anywhere near as early this year, I would have expected a 2021 schedule to be posted by now. It would be nice if somebody would say "RPI will set up its spring sports schedule when we hear that thus-and-such has happened," but nobody's said it yet

However, I look at the athletics websites of big-time lacrosse programs such as Johns Hopkins, UAlbany, Princeton, and Penn, and none of them shows a 2021 schedule as yet, either. Looks like everybody's waiting for something. And if anybody's said exactly what they're waiting to hear, it hasn't come to my attention.
