Within the last year, I completed a new construction building project in downtown Geneva, and everything (and I mean everything) took an act of God to get accomplished.Last edited by elbojpb; 01-24-2017, 03:54 PM.

Originally posted by PSUChamps2001 View PostIt is enclosed now, that was a start. I've been to several minor hockey rinks that blow the Cooler out of the water as far as facilities, boards, benches, ice surface, locker rooms ect ect. Then again this is Geneva which just spent a million dollars on a sculpture and get upset at the local law enforcement for charging thugs with felony riot charges. Meanwhile its been a week since the last shooting so that's a positive.
Don't get me wrong, the Cooler is "unique", but for the school, team(s), players, coaches....it's kind of a slap on the face the city hasn't done more. The YMCA rink they played at Saturday was leaps and bounds better.....a YMCA
Either way it's still going to be fun. Looks like its just under 7 hours from USM to Hobart. Not much different from Fredonia to Plattsburgh. Geneva to Skidmore (while not the 90 minute drive to Elmira or Nazareth) is a pretty straight shot.
Having said that, I still don't think we're done here....adding teams ect ect....

If it was 8 there would have to be two more non conference games. I wonder if the league likes this kind of information being posted by an official party?2007-2008 ECAC East/NESCAC Interlock Pick 'em winner

Re: Future of the NEHC
My handy dandy Google Maps says it's about a 3 hr ride from Skidmore to Geneva. So, your Friday game finishes at 9, you're on the bus at 10, at the hotel at 1, asleep by 2, Wake up at 10, eat breakfast, leave for rink around 1:30, play at 4, and on the bus by 7 to head back to New England.
Hobart and Skidmore should do very well on Saturdays.CCT '77 & '78

Just out of curiosity, is it a written rule that Saturday games "have" to be played at 4pm? Could the conference allow Hobart/Skidmore trips to be played at 7/7 ? Or more so yet is there another "local" team(s) joining ? Will we see the Morrisville affect of home/home - away/away ?Last edited by NUProf; 01-24-2017, 07:43 PM.2007-2008 ECAC East/NESCAC Interlock Pick 'em winner

Originally posted by NUProf View PostNo, it would take 10 teams to keep the numbers of league games the same. This year they have operated with DWC as a scheduling partner (non-member whose games count in the standings for league members). With the demise of DWC and the departure of STM and STA, they are down 3 teams, not 1 from the current situation.Go 'Wick!
