Update: they led 3-1 after two periods and were on the cusp of actually being the higher seed in the final ... and then the anvil weight of the entire respective history of Cornell hockey and Dartmouth hockey came together in the third period and Dartmouth allowed a 5 goal collapse and their season is overIf Dartmouth beats Cornell on Friday it will reach the ECAC tournament final for only the third time ever and the first time in 44 years. (Never won.)
The dream of decades would be for the team to receive one single bid in one single year to the NCAA tournament, but that is very unlikely. Nobody dreams that big, just fools.
We will settle for losing in the conference final and not getting selected like every year. What a huge leap forward that would be! 44 years! One win away ...
The alumni mag article I'm grateful for because Demment correctly remembered it was a radio guy who got it going. But nobody has published anything about it yet that really gets at how it was built. I am working on a huge film noir writing project and will probably write the definitive piece about how it started and what the thinking was that went into all of the design and execution and subsequent continuation of establishing that tradition.@PocketNines ... Thanks for bringing my attention to the Dartmouth tennis ball madness. I found this brief background story from SBNation. Seems like Dartmouth was doomed to miss the playoffs thereafter.
This 2021 article from Dartmouth Alumni Magazine has more details.
#11 Omaha bouncing #4 North Dakota in the NCHC semis would give your upset pick a serious challenge. And at this writing, SLU is wiithout a goal in the ECAC championship final vs. Cornell; if the Saints don't catch up, their defeat of QU will be forgotten.I only start paying attention to NCAA hockey after the regular season. I’m guessing SLU over Quinnipiac is the biggest upset so far.
