Basking in the glow of #13

Congratulations to us all, haters and losers included. 2010 seems like forever ago. Heck, the last time our team hoisted the Scotty in Lake Placid, Schaf was holding his kid in his arms and Mudpuddles was a thing.

Recent debates about what success markers we value here have been interesting. But these nights are special and the chances to bank them are so fleeting, and if you miss, it’s a long road back.

13 increases our total ECAC Title count over some off-red team who only has 11. Schafer’s 6th breaks a tie for most ever held with SLU’s Joe Marsh. 3 in LP, 3 in Albany.

Thanks to this young, young team and the coaching staff who put it together. Not always the smoothest or most dominant, but I’m grateful they brought it home.

Yes. Hear hear. I recall the 2010 game in Albany with my Cornell roommate who has since passed. I thought of him today.

that's right

Hopefully the first of many for this young group. I’ve had a blast this season but the future is even brighter.

Yep. #13 in the Pairwise. We did it!

Schafer quoted in the CHN article as saying “Im on the back 9 here.” Although it really isn’t a shock, it is sad to hear him say with the guy having been coach as long as I can remember. If I had to guess I would say he goes when these 10 freshman graduate.

I was thinking the same thing: He must be excited to see what this freshman class can do over the next three years, but after that...

He’s about 60, so I suppose anything is possible, but - you guys know the “back 9” just means the second half, right?

Well, Diane may have some say in the matter.

if kids are grown up and you have 30 yrs into this with all the recruiting time it takes maybe you want that last 10+ yrs to be more than hockey,

Topher was in my section toward the end of the regular season. Maybe he was in town to start the discussion about an eventual transition.

We had our six month old in the stands for that one. It was his first hockey road trip. Now I look him in the eye. It had been too long

Topher was in my section toward the end of the regular season. Maybe he was in town to start the discussion about an eventual transition.

Topher posted an update last summer on his website, explaining that he left the Michigan gig to be able spend more time with his young family. He sounded pretty disillusioned with the grind of the hockey coaching world, and sure made it seem like he was ready to “move on“ from that. I guess it’s possible he could have had a total change of heart in the months since then.

Part of it I’m sure is my worry of what a post-Schafer Cornell hockey program will be like getting the better of me. (We’re quite far away from the days when many posters were saying the game had passed Schafer by and perhaps he should go. I don’t think I succumbed to that, but at the time I understood why some felt it.)

But it’s also just a vibe I get from how emotional he was last season about the challenges weathering the COVID shutdown and the guys who stuck it out, and then again how emotional he was with this victory.

Can you all let him decide, and not try to decide for him or read tea leaves that don't exist?

While Adam has us in Springfield vs Maine (w/Denver - UMass), his colleague has us in St Louis vs Maine (w/ Michigan St - Western Mich). Springfield is a Thursday - Saturday regional, while St Louis is a Friday - Sunday.

I was thinking he might go if they win the natty this year. But I hope you're right. This year's exceptional class (and perhaps a few more exceptional ones on the way.

Come on…unless you know Mike personally, this speculation is absurd.

First of all, Cornell is almost certainly not winning the natty this year. But more importantly, we are in the most successful stretch of Schafer’s entire career. 2002-2006 was very nice, but it was just five years. At no point before 2016-17 did we reach the sustained version of success that was are seeing now. 2003 had the one frozen four, but who knows what would have happened in 2020 or 2021. Personal reasons aside, I highly doubt Mike’s going anywhere based on the hockey team’s outlook. This is a great freshman class. So was the one in 2017-18. And there will likely be great future classes as well.

That's because the blocks that will be allotted to the as-yet-unnamed four participating schools are considered "sold" until the schools return them as unsold. Cornell will get an allotment to sell for whatever regional it's in.

The ECAC put together a nice, albeit short video of the championship. I'd love to see more of the ice level, high def footage of the game, and the on- and off-ice celebration:

Interesting that the “old” logo is on the official merchandise on the Cornell Store. I still see it from time to time but assumed some external party just hadn’t updated yet. Now I don’t know what to think.
