I'm sure many of you receive these emails from Coach Schafer during the hockey season as well, but I was wondering whether the author of these emails is really him. I ask because sometimes the game recaps do not sound like him at ll.
Witness the first two paragraphs of this week's email:
The second paragraph caught my attention/suspicion. Or am I reading too much into this?
Witness the first two paragraphs of this week's email:
UNH 7, CORNELL 4
RIT 5, CORNELL 3
Obviously, this was not the way we wanted to begin the season. Maybe
the results from the two exhibition games gave our players a sense of
security, but the coaching staff knew from the beginning that we had
to work on our defense. We also knew that we had only practiced for
a few days before the first two exhibitions. With a week of practice
before the regular season, things didn't get much better, although
the competition was stiffer. UNH had beaten us in the first round of
the NCAAs last spring, and RIT had knocked off the Wildcats the
following day.
UNH scored just 23 seconds into the game as we came right out on
their heels. We turned the puck over 15 seconds into the game, and
'bang' it was 1-0 against a team in our own rink, and all the young
guys were looking around like, "Oh my God, how can we start the game
that way?" However, we did regroup and five minutes later sophomore
defenseman Nick D'Agostino fired a puck from the right circle that
hit the stick of the netminder and caromed up underneath the cross
bar for a 1-1 game.
The second paragraph caught my attention/suspicion. Or am I reading too much into this?

Having heard Coach Schafer speak many times at the Friday luncheons, I can hear him saying this. It doesn't sound out-of-character at all.
And anyway, why do you care?

I would say the same thing after having covered him for a few years for the Ithaca Times. It wouldn't surprise me if he writes every word of those recaps, though I admit it also wouldn't surprise me if one of the assistant coaches wrote them for his "signature."

How do you get these emails? It would be really interesting to see the coaches' analysis on weekly games.

It helps to be either a donor or a CHA member or both.

I am CHA, but as a student, how am I suppose to donate when I'm broke?

You could contact the hockey office and request to be added to their mailing list. I don't see why they'd refuse.ajh258
