The first time I saw Cornell play was Saturday, 10 December
1988 vs BU at the Boston Garden.  Cornell humilated BU 8-2 in
that one, it was *UGLY* for BU.  :-(  The worst part of it was
I went with a very good friend who graduated from Cornell. I
saw BU get revenge in the consolation game of the SIT on 29
December the same year, winning 4-2.  :-)  The most vivid
memories I have of that tournament are: driving into Syracuse
in a lake effects blizzard (I thought I would never get there);
 A woman in the stands calling the face-off "the puck-off"!?!;
Cory D'Alesso getting violently ill in the Cornell-Bowling
Green game, racing over to the bench, puking into a helmut,
then returning to net and finishing the game (Cornell and the
other goalie in net while Cory was 'busy').  I have no memories
of BU from that tournament (it was not a good year for BU).

The first time I saw Princeton was Saturday, 25 November 1989.
BU won the game at Walter Brown Arena 6-2. :-)
