Chris at Princeton wonders why Princeton has such a limited schedule, only
25 games.  As I understand it, Ivy League rules say that teams can start on
ice practice x number of days before the first league game.  This severely lim-
its the number of games a team can fit in before it's league schedule starts.
While the Ivy League teams in the ECAC can only fit it one exhibition game
before league play starts, Clarkson, St. Lawrence, etc can fit in three.  Also,
individual schools may have policies about games during exam periods.  At Cor-
nell exams are a long, drawn out process, with a couple reading days before
exams actually start, so finals don't end until two weeks after classes do.
This is why the Ivies have shorter schedules.
