    Re: 2019 Schedules

    Why would a premier program like Wisconsin schedule a series with a newcomer? What's the takeaway for Wisconsin?

      Starting a new program playing two games each against UCONN, Wisconsin and Yale... problem seems to be that Wisco is playing Princeton on those same dates

      (Sorry, not sure how to link on an iPad)
      fixed the link. see the tags before and after the link.

      Only reason UW is to help a new program off the ground and to play the 4th/5th liners in a real game. The RPI will not be affected (unless UW loses or ties).

        Mark Johnson loves to promote and support the women's game, therefore UW usually plays Lindenwood every year, they went out west a few yrs ago and played in Cali, and this year they are playing in PA over the Thanksgiving weekend. This fits that m.o. I would also think if the Princeton series died, they need to play someone that weekend. I really doubt Soup will play at all and it would be a great series to play the 3rd and 4th liners a lot to get them some game action.

          pad their stats, they've always played Lindenwood in the past and getting the CHA in the NCAA first round
          in a way you can't blame them, playing in the WCHA where goals are much harder to come by puts players at a disadvantage for recognition
          recall a couple years ago they played Clarkson and swept them, but in the process probably gave Clarkson a confidence boost and insight that they can beat them, and did in the NCAA's
          probably don't want to repeat that, Princeton will be top 10 and likely NCAA berth this year
          I see they have added Harvard & BC now that they suck lol

          it's great that they are trying to expand the game to hillbillies in Tennessee :0

              BC has now become part of other team's soft schedules. :O

                Ok, but is that because now they will be part of someone's soft schedule?

                Geez, Tim beat me to it...Either that or we get the same 4AM talking points like the lame stream media.

                  On one hand, the Princeton - Wisconsin weekend is pretty clearly the second half of a 'home and home' series; Princeton at UW last year, UW at Princeton this year. And UW going all the way to NY to play a brand new team (the rest of whose schedule is St Anselm and Franklin Pierce) seems awfully unlikely; I'd find it slightly more believable if is were LUI coming to Madison.

                  On the other hand, for some reason and oddly, the UW schedule has been posted at their web site for about a month now, but never officially 'announced'.

                  I googled the LIU coach to see if somehow Coach Johnson or AD Barry Alvarez know him, are friends with him, etc etc, and would be willing to do him a favor (UW football contracted with UNLV to play in Nevada years ago largely because an assistant AD at UNLV used to work for UW). The only thing at all close I saw was the LIU coach used to be the head coach at St Norbert's College, a DIII program in De Pere, WI (just outside of Green Bay).

                  In short, I'll believe it when UW says it is happening.

                    It might be LIU's biggest gate of the year.

                      I googled the two rinks LIU is planning on using as home ice, and could not find a seating capacity for either. There's both apparently NY Islander practice facilities.

                        If LIU is saying it in on the internet, it must be true! Maybe UW will get 5 homes series out of it for the price of one away. Or UW is afraid of a 20-0 bloodbath on home ice. I of course would not object, who doesn't want to see quad hatties in one game or a shotless game for the opponent? There are some, however, who think every fight has to be a fair one. That's not life, that is for sure.

                              I don't think it would be a 20-0 bloodbath. LIU has recruited some legit D1 talent. Not saying it will be close just not that bad. LIU should be ok. Its not like a team that is transitioning from club or D3 that is still carrying a bunch of club or D3 players. Granted LIU doesn't have the cream of the recruits and definitely will have some players who would be better off in D3. But it should be able to field a legitimate D1 team this season. I would not be surprised it its not the worst D1 team this season.

                                Maybe I'm biased being from Brooklyn, but I think some might underestimate the draw of going to school in NYC, with the campus and dorms in Downtown Brooklyn which has really been built out into Manhattan-lite. I think if the school shows that they're investing in the program it could become a really attractive option to players, likely not near the level of the prestigious women's hockey schools but still an attractive option.
