Saw that. Dichiara is still scoring at a 25% shot/goal ratio in the playoffs and, thus far, has outscored Quenneville. It'll be fun to watch these kids play against each other in the coming years.

And when Yale or Quinnipiac aren't playing, we could get our college hockey fix up in Storrs with UConn upgrading their program.
Actually, right now, we are your DaddySeriously, great sentiment, and a great season by QU. I find the best thing about it as a hockey fan is if one team is out of town, you can go and watch the other. The QU Cornell playoff game 3 as a case in point.

Re: Yale Off Season 2013-2014 "That was fun... May we have another?"
If anybody from Yale Athletics is reading, would be nice to have a printed Yale Hockey Media Guide for 2013-2014.
Nothing fancy, 8"x5", 200 pages or so... History of Yale Hockey, year-by-year results, coach and player profiles, and of course, a recap of the 2012-2013 Championship Season. Just a thought...

Yale has gone with the Media Guide info online since 2009-2010 Season. Last printed Media Guide had Matt Nelson Captain on the cover for 2008-2009 Season.

It may not be a media guide, but perhaps they would consider a special publication about the championship?

Finally got through all my images from Saturday at the Frozen Four from the Yale room setup to red carpet entrances to game and postgame celebration. Gallery: http://hockeyphotography.photoshelt...y-Bobcats-m/G0000yrxzsxl2r3c/C0000BMqZLEWw0Ko
FYI, I have a special sale going on today and tomorrow with coupon code SAVE - orders placed Monday get 15% off while orders placed Tuesday get 10% off. Gift certificate purchases get that percent added on (eg, pay $100 and receive a $115 gift certificate/credit on Monday) for anyone who can't decide; wants images I haven't edited yet.

Re: Yale Off Season 2013-2014 "That was fun... May we have another?"
It's nice to have the two games at Pru and the rivalry game at MSG, but still... that's an awful schedule. No games against any Western teams, and the only Hockey East teams are Vermont and Merrimack? With a schedule like that, they may need to win the league just to make it back to the tournament.
I understand the Western trips are every other year, but... what would it take either to get a Western team to come east? Is it really THAT hard?

Re: Yale Off Season 2013-2014 "That was fun... May we have another?"
Yes. Of course, it also depends on who you want to play. I wouldn't be shocked if Yale sees high caliber teams the year after, since schedules are usually in place by the time of the tournament, and they didn't know at the time that Yale would be leaving with some hardware.
Having effectively five NC games (Ivy shootout taking up two), as well as not being able to play in October, is also a shot in the foot.

Re: Yale Off Season 2013-2014 "That was fun... May we have another?"
The Ivy Shootout is history, at least.
The Liberty Invitational replaces it, and is in October, but it doesn't increase the total number of games. After the first year the Liberty will mean at least one Hockey East opponent on neutral ice (appears to be a rotation among Mass, Vermont, Merrimack, Lowell, and Maine?). As far as I'm concerned, Yale should never play OOC games against other ECAC, except in championship or consolation games of tournaments. With only 7 total OOC games, loading up on "more of the same" is a major problem. In terms of things like pairwise, it essentially means the entire season could come down to whether they win at Vermont, or whether Merrimack is a TUC... never mind that they won't have seen any teams from 3 of the major conferences.

What is the deal with the Ivy's not starting play in October? Stupid; just like the Ivy football Bowl prohibition. Easing the restriction to, say starting play on or about October 20th, would add at least one weekend and a couple of games.

Actually, they are allowed to start two weeks after the other schools, as evidenced by Yale's exhibition game, although I don't know if there's a rule about exhibition matches with that.

I can't remember the last time a WCHA team played at Ingall's. Maybe with an NCAA championship, the powers that be will have some leverage in bringing in quality opponents from HE and WCHA for 2014-15 and beyond..

Didn't they start doing the Ivy Shootout because the ivies felt they were at a disadvantage against the non-ivies come the start of league play?

Agreed it is an embarrassment of a schedule for defending NCAA champ.
A couple things:
1. I don't mind Ivy shootout given Ivy starts season later
2. Absolutely no reason to play other Ivy teams out of league besides shootout. The Harvard game at MSG should have been arranged as part of ECAC regular season- just have to do it 2 years in a row and have Yale be home team this year and then visiting team next year.
3. Holy Cross and Sacred Heart need to be dumped entirely. To play one of them is a shame, to play both is a complete joke.
4. Coming off such a great run for both Yale and Quinn we should look to schedule with them to get Western Teams out here for a weekend one year and go out West the following. I'm sure North Dakota would love some revenge for the last couple times we have met in NCAAs.
In the end, schedule is pathetic and I fully support all the bashing Yale will take for it.

Re: Yale Off Season 2013-2014 "That was fun... May we have another?"
To be fair, coaches and ADs don't start looking to schedule games after the national tournament; they do it before, sometimes years in advance in the case of Western series. With the increase in non-conference games, there's more of a chance now, and now that you have hardware, it's even higher. One thing that doesn't help, though, is that one of the common times for non-conference games is October, and we all know the issues with that.
As for the Sacred Heart game, there shouldn't be any shame in getting an in-state team a game. I can understand your disappointment, but they have to get some games in order to stick around and even HAVE a college hockey team. After all, look at the mess UAH had to endure.
