This is correct. Cornell & Harvard are both 14 points ahead of Colgate
and Vermont (who are both tied for 8th at the moment) with 7 games to
play for Cornell, Colgate, and Vermont and 6 league games left for Harvard.
Thus, both Cornell and Harvard have clinched a tie for 8th place.

In order for either of them to clinch 8th place outright or better (and REALLY
clinch home ice):

*Cornell has to earn at least one point against Vermont tonight for the Big
   Red to clinch

*Colgate and Vermont would need to earn no more than one point tonight
   for Harvard to clinch
