TLD.
So many doubters, haters, naysayers, pessimists, and all around jamokes casting their negative views towards Coach Callahan and his efforts to turn the D program around since his arrival.
Even Andy Shay had a very tenuous 6-7 year run before Yale found its footing and pivoted towards the current road of success.

Let's see an Ivy win come out of this Dartmouth season as the REAL tell the "corner has turned". But it sure feels like this team chemistry has the potential.

Dartmouth has home field advantage, and Massey favors the Big Green by one. Game time wind chill is projected as a balmy 28 degrees.

hmmm, much as I'd like to think otherwise, I think this is a big stretch for Dartmouth at this point. I'd have Vermont favored by 4 or 5.

Hope it goes the other way!

Love being wrong!

Hincks is definitely AA quality, hope he gets that level of recognition.

Incredible after 2 years of Covid and losing generational talents like Teat, Sowers and TD.

Right now, Princeton, Penn and Cornell would be absolute LOCKS, and Brown and Yale are not far behind, Harvard is top 20 material and Dartmouth is much improved with arguably the best goalie in the country. This league is SCARY. League play will be incredible.

I am locked in now to the Ivies getting 4 teams into the dance this year.

I am not suggesting you're wrong, just asking an honest question: has the Ivy ever got four teams into the dance in a single year? It was a one-bid league in 2017, two teams in 2018 and 2019 (although I thought Cornell was good enough in 2019, especially with the road win over Notre Dame).

Conference play is gonna be intense, a gauntlet of so many good teams. It's only a week or so away... and the conference still hasn't announced anything about where the ILT might be played.

I think Peters vs. Hincks is the real race here. Ierlan is certainly a great goalie, but both the stats (thus far, still early) and the eye test from what i have seen point to those two.
