ECAC Hockey

Lygam: /* Member Schools */ RIP Dutchmen 19XX-2023. Remove the footnote once everyone who remembers the Dutchmen graduates.

==Background==

ECAC Hockey (Formerly the ECAC Hockey League, now also known by ECACH, or often just ECAC) is one of six Division I men's and 4 Division I women's ice hockey conferences. It is the only Division I conference in which the same list of teams compete in both the men's and women's leagues, and only achieved that status with the addition of RPI to the D-I women's hockey lineup in the 2006-2007 season.

The league is headquartered at the [[Times Union Center, Albany, NY|Times Union Center]] in Albany, NY, and is headed by Commissioner Steve Hagwell. Working under Hagwell are an assistant commissioner, men's and women's supervisors of officials, and related support staff. The league works closely with all member schools to create a fair and balanced schedule in which each team plays every other twice per season in league contests. This has been the case every year since 1986, except for 1999-2000 when Vermont canceled half of its season due to a hazing incident.

==Member Schools==
* [[Brown University|Brown Bears]]
* [[Clarkson University|Clarkson Golden Knights]]
* [[Colgate University|Colgate Raiders]]
* [[Cornell University|Cornell Big Red]]
* [[Dartmouth College|Dartmouth Big Green]]
* [[Harvard University|Harvard Crimson]]
* [[Princeton University|Princeton Tigers]]
* [[Quinnipiac University|Quinnipiac Bobcats]]
* [[St. Lawrence University|St. Lawrence Saints]]
* [[Engineers|Rensselaer Engineers]]
* [[Union College|Union Garnet Chargers]] (formerly Union Dutchmen)
* [[Yale University|Yale Bulldogs]]

==Scheduling==
The league schedule is based on a travel partner system for both the men's and women's teams, where on any given weekend (assuming full league play), three pairs of teams (six teams total) will travel to the remaining three pairs of teams and play one game at each team in the pair. The current travel partners are:

*Brown and Yale
*Clarkson and St. Lawrence
*Colgate and Cornell
*Dartmouth and Harvard
*Princeton and Quinnipiac
*Rensselaer and Union

As an example of the travel partner system, on a given weekend, Brown and Yale may be on the road against Colgate and Cornell. On Friday night, Brown would play Colgate and Yale would play Cornell, while on Saturday night the matchups would switch so each team has played both partners once. Later in the season Colgate and Cornell would be on the road at Yale and Brown, where the second matchup against each team would occur.

Some teams dedicate a single weekend to playing their travel partner (RPI and Union have a "home and home" series where one game is played at RPI and one at Union in a single weekend) while others choose to schedule these games during weeknights and sometimes spread apart by several weeks. This scheduling is primarily left up to the individual schools.

==Competition In and Out of the ECAC==
While teams in the ECAC play a schedule comprised of roughly 2/3 to 3/4 league matchups, each team will play several out-of-conference games against teams from the other leagues. In D-I men's hockey, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA), Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) and Hockey East are considered the other three powerhouse leagues, and often are the most desirable out-of-conference opponents as they reflect well on a team's strength of schedule at the end of the year, an important component of the NCAA Tournament selection process. Teams from Atlantic Hockey are typically weaker and occupy the lower echelons of the national rankings, and are often less desirable as out-of-conference opponents.

Many hockey fans outside the ECAC belittle the league and comment on its quality due to infrequent championship wins and relative lack of contenders in the NCAA tournament. Most commonly this disparity is attributed to the lack of scholarships on many ECAC teams. Neither the Ivy League schools (Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale) nor Union offer athletic scholarships to their players, which makes recruiting top talent a difficult task. The other three powerhouse conferences are comprised in large part of large state schools with immense recruiting resources and scholarship dollars to match, luring many of the top high school and junior players away from the ECAC.

The women's league does not face quite so much scruitny, as members Dartmouth, Harvard, and St. Lawrence field quality competitive teams each year. Harvard and Dartmouth have several players from the 2006 Winter Olympics on their roster, and are frequently in the upper levels of the national rankings.

The ECAC men's league is considered one of the most competitive top-to-bottom, where many seasons' standings are not even close to being concrete until the final weekend of play. Rarely is there a dominant team that destroys all its opponents, nor is there a single team with whom the floor is wiped. In the 2006-2007 season, with one week of play remaining, any of six out of twelve teams still had the potential for either home or road playoffs in the first round, and only 5 points separated the bottom seven teams in the league.

The women's league is slightly less balanced, with teams such as Dartmouth, Harvard, and St. Lawrence making strong showings on a regular basis while Cornell, Quinnipiac, and Union tend not to fare so well. Union's record in the 2006-2007 season was 0-22-0 in conference play. RPI finished 8th in its inaugural season in the league, clinching a playoff berth by beating Brown, Cornell, Quinnipiac, and Union in the standings.

==Playoffs==
===Men's Playoffs===
All twelve ECAC men's hockey teams are granted a chance to play in the ECAC playoffs. Seeding for the playoffs is determined by regular season standings at the conclusion of the final weekend of league play. Ties in the standings are resolved by head to head record then record against top teams in the league.

Teams seeded 1-4 at the end of the regular season are given a bye for the first round and get a week's rest before the quarterfinals the following week. Teams seeded 5-8 host teams seeded 9-12, such that the matchups are 5-12, 6-11, 7-10, 8-9 at the arena of the higher seed). The winners of the four first round games are reseeded and go on to play the top four teams in the quarterfinals, such that the team seeded 1 plays the lowest seed from the first round and the team seeded 4 plays the highest seed from the first round.

The four winners of the quarterfinal games proceed to the ECAC Championship Tournament. The teams are reseeded and top seed plays bottom while the two middle teams play each other in a semifinal round. The two winners play in the championship game while the losers play a consolation game. The ECAC Championship Tournament was held at Boston Arena from 1962 - 1967, Boston Garden 1968 - 1992, and Olympic Arena in Lake Placid, NY 1993 - 2002. The Times Union Center in Albany, NY has held the tournament since 2003, but it will move to [[Boardwalk Hall]] in Atlantic City, NJ in 2011.

The winner of the ECAC Championship is awarded the Whitelaw Cup and given an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

===Women's Playoffs===
Only the top eight out of twelve teams gain a berth in the ECAC women's hockey playoffs. The teams are seeded 1-12 based on the same criteria as the men's league at the end of regular season play, with seeds 9-12 eliminated and their season over. The playoffs consist of two rounds as opposed to the men's league's three.

In the quarterfinal round, seeds 1-4 host seeds 5-8, such that the matchups are 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5 at the arena of the higher seed. The four winning teams are reseeded and proceed on to the championship weekend, which takes place at the arena of the highest remaining seed. The newly seeded teams 1-4 and 2-3 play each other, and the victors go on to the championship game, while the losers play a consolation game for third place.

The winner of the ECAC Championship is given an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

==Road Trips==

====October 29, 2022: Men's Hockey @ Union====

Day trip to [[Union]] following [[Black Friday|Blackout]]. L 6-0

====November 4-5, 2022: Men's Hockey @ St. Lawrence and Clarkson====

Overnight trip to [[St. Lawrence University|SLU]] and [[Clarkson University|Clarkson]]. Were forced to stay all the way in Watertown because there were no hotels in the area due to many SLU events happening that weekend. At Appleton Arena, the band had seats next to SLU's student section. They gave vulgar remarks and middle fingers every time we played. At one point, a student came over to the band and hit the bass drum. Security quickly removed them and stayed by the band for the remainder of the game. Before Saturday's game in Potsdam, we met up with Clarkson's pep band and played soccer together. Clarkson's fans were much better than SLU's during the game and we had fun with the Superband.

====December 10, 2022: Women's Hockey @ Brown====

Day trip to [[Brown University|Brown]] to support the women's hockey team. W 3-0. First ECAC win of the season.

====January 28, 2023: Mayor's Cup @ MVP Arena====

Day trip to [[MVP Arena, Albany, NY|MVP Arena]] to support the women's and men's team versus [[Union]]. The women's team won 2-1, having also beat Union the night before in Troy. The men's team lost 6-0 (same score as Blackout weekend). Had a Super Band with the Union band.

====February 3-4, 2023: Men's Hockey @ Cornell and Colgate====

Overnight trip to [[Cornell University|Cornell]] and [[Colgate University|Colgate]]. Due to the extremely cold wind chill (and loss), the band did not to clap for the team following Friday night's game. On Saturday, the band spent the afternoon at the Shops at Ithaca mall, which included "The Entertainment Zone" (slightly sketch area with pool tables and a jukebox) and a decent Mexican restaurant. Before the game, we got together with Colgate's band at a gymnasium on campus. The team defeated Colgate 2-1 that night, earning their first win after losing twelve straight away games to start the season. RPI was part of a Superband in both games. [[Ungorr Nassery]] and Coach Dave Smith made their friendship official when the band was clapping for the team after the Colgate game.

====February 17, 2023: Men's Hockey @ Dartmouth====

Friday night trip to [[Dartmouth College|Dartmouth]]. Had a Superband with Dartmouth's band. During the game, Dartmouth's band played [[084 - The Stripper|The Stripper]] as a cheer and one of their (male) members stripped to bare chest. Next whistle, we played the song again, and some members stripped. The team won 3-1, securing their second win on the road that season.

Conductor

Lygam: /* Current Associate Conductor */ how did you screw up henry's name

Person with the wavy hands at the front of the band. Until the beginning of the [[1983-1984|1983 season]], the position of conductor didn't exist. At first, the conductor was present to keep the band on the same beat (no pun intended). Today, the conductor is a spokesperson of the band, working with the [[Manager|managers]] to coordinate band activities. For a list of things that are traditionally done by/to the conductor, see [[Conductor Traditions]].

==Road Trips==
''' February 3-4, 2022: Men's Hockey @ Cornell and Colgate'''

Overnight trip to [[Cornell University|Cornell]] and [[Colgate University|Colgate]]. L 1-3 at Cornell, W 2-1 at Colgate. The Colgate game was the first away win for the men's team after losing twelve straight away games to start the season. Before the Colgate game, both bands got to know each other through games and snacks. RPI was part of a Superband in both games. [[Ungorr Nassery]] and Coach Dave Smith made their friendship official when the band was clapping for the team after the Colgate game.

'''January 28, 2023: Mayor's Cup @ MVP Arena'''

Day trip to [[MVP Arena, Albany, NY|MVP Arena]] to support the women's and men's team versus [[Union]]. The women's team won 2-1, having also beat Union the night before in Troy. The men's team lost 6-0 (same score as Blackout weekend). Had a Super Band with the Union band.

'''December 10, 2022: Women's Hockey @ Brown'''

Day trip to [[Brown University|Brown]] to support the women's hockey team. W 3-0. First ECAC win of the season.

'''October 29, 2022: Men's Hockey @ Union'''

Day trip to [[Union]] following [[Black Friday|Blackout]]. L 6-0

'''November 4-5, 2022: Men's Hockey @ St. Lawrence and Clarkson'''

Overnight trip to [[St. Lawrence University|SLU]] and [[Clarkson University|Clarkson]]. Were forced to stay all the way in Watertown because there were no hotels in the area due to many SLU events happening that weekend. At Appleton Arena, the band had seats next to SLU's student section. They gave vulgar remarks and middle fingers every time we played. At one point, a student came over to the band and hit the bass drum. Security quickly removed them and stayed by the band for the remainder of the game. Before Saturday's game in Potsdam, we met up with Clarkson's pep band and played soccer together. Clarkson's fans were much better than SLU's during the game and we had fun with the Superband.

William Tell

2023-02-21T03:45:02Z

Lygam: /* History */

=About this cheer=
This cheer is based off of the fourth part of the overture to the opera ''Guillaume Tell'', composed by Gioacchino Rossini. It was also used as the theme for the TV show ''The Lone Ranger''.

=Instrumentation requirements=
*Trumpets
*Mellophones
The more there are, the better.

=History=
This cheer was added to the cheer sheets in January 2007, when the cheer sheets were rewritten to add songs and make the print more legible. Prior to 2007, this song was found in the trumpet cheer sheet, a page separate from the rest of the cheers.

William Tell was removed from the cheer sheets in [[2014-2015|2014]].<br>
William Tell was re-added to the cheer sheets in [[2015-2016|2015]].<br>
The cheer was extended to include the more iconic part of the piece in the [[2022-2023|2023]] cheer sheet update.<br>

Prince Ali

2023-02-21T03:41:57Z

Lygam: /* History */ Prince John C

=About this cheer=
Prince Ali is from the 1992 Disney animated film Aladdin. This song can be played following [[Billberger Salute]] or as its own cheer.

=Instrumentation requirements=
*Trumpets

=History=
Typically this was played by at least a Trumpet, Mellophone, and a Tenor Sax following [[Billberger Salute]].

Following most of the individual parts being lost, Prince Ali was added to the cheer sheets in [[2016-2017|2016]]. The band resisted change and frequently vetoed Prince Ali if it was called on its own.

In 2023, as part of a long-awaited cheer sheet update, Prince Ali was reborn as [[John Caezza|Prince John C]].

=About this song=
Written by Julius Wechter.<br>
Arranged by Herb Alpert.<br>
Popularized by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
=Roadmap=
This song is a very common trumpet veto. When played as a veto, a single trumpet plays from the pickup of measure 5 with the band joining in two measures later.
=Instrumentation requirements=
You need a good trumpet section.

084 - The Stripper

2023-02-17T08:29:47Z

Lygam: RIP Stripper 19XX-2023 T_T. Also "accommodate" was spelled wrong.

=About this song=
Written by David Rose.<br>
Arranged by John Warrington.

=Roadmap=
Vamp from A to the first ending as necessary.

=Dances=
Yeah... It's a dance, of sorts...

=History=
A long-standing tradition of the band... This song was played exactly once per year, at the [[Big Red Freakout!]]. The band would start playing the song, while one or more [[Freakout strippers|strippers]] would "dance" for the crowd (and the band) at the front of the stage. The song will vamp for as long as necessary. The tradition ended in 2023, and there are no plans to bring it back so as not to risk conflict with the media staff.

The new [[podium]] was designed with an internal support structure to accommodate holding up a stripper pole. For [[Freakout 2008]], a 1½-inch, 10-foot tall section of steel electrical conduit was purchased and used.

The song is played as a reference to a scene in the 1977 movie Slap Shot, where Michael Ontkean's character starts stripping on the ice, and a marching band that was in attendance starts playing The Stripper.
