[> Subject: ECAC Hockey Author: Bengal [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:27:59 01/31/26 Sat We’ll see how the National Polls turn out on Monday. Meanwhile…. Dartmouth has climbed into the top spot in ECAC men’s standings one precarious point ahead of Cornell. Harvard within 3 of Dartmouth at 4th slot. Princeton defeated Clarkson and then lost to lowly (in the standings) St.Laurence to slide down to 5th, 2 points ahead of Colgate. Yale has the eighth spot. I believe the first 4 teams draw a bye in the ECAC playoff first round and the next 4 get home ice for the opening one game round. It would be good for Princeton if it can get home ice but there is enough left to the season to leave Princeton and Yale’s chances uncertain. On the women’s side, having shut out St. Laurence, P battled Clarkson tonite tied with them for first. It was no contest, P took it 6-1. I saw something I had never seen before, P scored 2 short handed goals on the same power play. The P defense stellar all weekend. Y in third, 5 points back, Brown in 5th, Cornell 6th. Four games left for the women and while finishing first would be great, drawing a first round bye would be very good. The latter is not mathematically guaranteed at this point, but looks likely.

[> [> Subject: Re: ECAC Hockey Author: Bengal [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:10:51 02/10/26 Tue In the ECAC Men: QU 38 points DC 36 Cornell 36 P 31 H 30 There are six games to go, so the placement up and down the 12 team standings can change significantly. The USCH national poll has: QU 5th Cornell 9 DC 12 H 26 ECAC Women: P 44 points Y 42 QU 40 Clarkson 38 Brown 38 Cornell 37.5 There are two games to go, tough ones for P. If P accrues 1 point, or Clarkson and Brown accrue no more than 5, P guarantees a first round bye. While I hope P sweeps, I will take a top 4 finish if we get it. If P drops both in regulation and either Brown and Clarkson win both in regulation and tie P for 4th, I don't know how the tiebreaker would play out. USCH national poll: QU 7th P 8 Y 9 Cornell 11 Brown 18 [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: ECAC Hockey Author: John Harvard (Men's for 4th & bye) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:55:40 02/11/26 Wed As top 4 in ECAC men's hockey get a first round bye, it's going to be down to either Princeton (currently 31 points) or Harvard (30 points). Both squads have 6 games remaining, with Princeton at Harvard the final weekend. The remaining schedule, however, significantly favors Harvard: Princeton: @ Quinnipiac (13-2-1) vs Quinnipiac (13-2-1) vs Colgate (8-6-2) vs Cornell (12-4) @ Harvard (10-6) @ Dartmouth (11-4-1) Harvard: @ Brown (3-12-1) @ Yale (6-10) @ Union (6-9-1) @ RPI (4-12) Princeton (10-6) Quinnipiac (13-2-1) Harvard is on the road for 4 of 6 while Princeton plays 3 or its remaining 6 games at home. However, Princeton plays the top 5 teams (excluding itself), including national #5 Quinnipiac twice. Harvard has 4 road games against teams with losing records before finishing at home against Princeton and Quinnipiac. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: ECAC Hockey Author: John Harvard [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:45:27 02/12/26 Thu Seems there are two main battles: 1. Qunnipiac, Cornell and Dartmouth for ECAC regular season champion; and 2. Princeton or Harvard for 4th place and a first round bye. Perhaps more importantly, assuming the 5th place team survives it's opening home game against the worst team in the league, the regular season seeding will determine whether Princeton vs Harvard is in Princeton or Cambridge.
