For the first time since 1984, the ECAC has 4 teams in the NCAA Tournament (Thank you Ralph). How many ECAC teams will make the final 4? Does our non-conf record portent success? Will any of our teams make it to the F4? Which ECAC teams have the best chance of bringing home a National Championship? Cornell and Clarkson fans have their own forums so this is also an opportunity for them to jump in and comment as well. Here is wishing all four teams great success. Cornell and Clarkson are very strong this year and both Qpac and Harvard have recent F4 experience. If the Dutchmen can knock off Northeastern and St. Cloud, then so can Harvard, Cornell, Clarkson and Qpac. Lets go ECAC !!! Best and the Brightest.

Any of the four teams could make it to the F4, but (and it truly pains me to say this) I think Quinnipiac has the best shot.

Re: ECAC in the NCAAs 2019
I did not see a thread for Clarkson so I will post my thoughts here. Like I predicted, Clarkson to win the ECAC and Whitelaw, and with all due respect to Quinnipiac, Cornell, and Harvard, I truly believe Clarkson is the best out of this bunch. They can play any style but they wear on you. If Sturm and Kielly remains their best players they will do very well. They are one team that plays the right way, very fundamentally sound, especially on the defensive end and that's playoff hockey. They also have the right mix of skill/grit. It sucks that Harvard is in the same bracket. Go ahead and keep doing what you are doing and represent the ECAC well! good Luck!

Re: ECAC in the NCAAs 2019
Finally the Big Red! I do not see a thread for them. Cornell is built for for the playoffs. This is very simple...as Galadja goes Cornell will follow ( he needs to be their best player) I hope he has recovered from his injury. They have incorporates a few smallish (for them) skillish guys to go with Vanderlaan so they have better balanced. Their D core is good but not as sound as Clarkson. Kaldis is a smooth skating talent but can be questionable defending in his own D zone. If they get the lead, turn out the lights and good night! But on the contrare, if they have to come from behind, this will proved very difficult for them. Go IVY and ECAC and do it up, Big Red!
