Today's update of the schedules on USCHO has Cornell participating in the
Marine Midland tourney on Nov. 28 (vs. Niagra) and 29 (vs. Colgate/a school
TBA). BTW, this puts Cornell at their 29 game limit.

Despite the fact that this is all fantasizing, I'll throw in my opinion:
most eastern D-I college hockey programs are not big-time sports schools.
So, they have limited athletic budgets and aren't going to want to institute
wacky travel plans. This, unfortunately, probably eliminates the possibility
that Niagara and/or Canisius would join the ECAC because it's a heck of a
long bus ride from Boston and Providence to Buffalo. I agree that Niagra
would probably fit best in the CCHA, given geography. And, supposing Vermont
jumps to Hockey East, where does the ECAC find a travel partner for Dartmouth?
