2009-10 Cornell Hockey Schedule Released

On the heels of Friday's official announcement of the incoming freshmen comes today's official release of next year's schedule.

We've been following next year's schedule since February, so the only surprises here are the exhibition games. The Under-18 team is always a talented squad. Windsor lost to every NCAA team they played last season, so that one should be a comfortable win.

Edit: It seems likely that the goalie for the U-18 team will be Andy Iles, a Cornell recruit coming in 2010.

The most amusing line from the Windsor press release is their mention of Princeton:
Cornell finished the season with a 22-10-4 record and reached the NCAA Midwest Regional Championship game a year ago. The Princeton Tigers were 22-12-1 in 2008-09 and reached the NCAA West Regional Semi-Final.
In other words, Princeton lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Non-conference games are bolded.

It's unclear if there will be a Red-White scrimmage this year. It would fit nicely on October 16 or 17, but wasn't listed on the schedule.

I'll have some more analysis of the schedule a little later.
