The Princeton-Cornell game last weekend played like a normal game on the ice with the usual three 20 minute periods. The only major difference I noticed was that Cornell (and possibly Princeton) changed their lineup after the first period. Three of the underclass forwards (including at least David Kozier) were in warmups during the first period and then dressed for the second period when Knopp, Oates and Stienstra left the game. A different approach to spreading out the ice time from the two game format which was apparently used by Yale and Brown. The atmosphere of the game was certainly that of a scrimmage though. Aside from the number of fans present (very few) and free admission there was no PA announcer at all (which is why I couldn't put together a decent box score - I'm terrible at picking out goal scorers). Cornell's head coach was up in the balcony over the south (?) end of the ice to get a better/different view of the action. I would imagine that the Ivy teams wouldn't be allowed to play these games under league rules unless they were specifically "scrimmages" and played as such. Ralph - Chelsea Piers was once the premier waterfront facility in NYC. In recent years, it was renovated and a sports complex built in the warehouses and four piers of the complex. It includes two ice rinks at least one roller rink, driving range, fitness center, facilties for indoor soccer and lacrosse and gymnastics as well as various stores, restaurants and a television/movie studio.
