Discussions about the Cornell men's and women's hockey teams
Re: Spencer Penrose Award - 21 years ago
The USCHO crowd seem to think it's between Whitehead, Gwozdecky, and Gadowsky. Whitehead appears to be the emotional choice, but he wasn't voted Hockey East's COTY. Interesting that the Frozen Four coaches are automatic finalists, whereas conference tournaments are specifically not considered in conference COTY selection (at least not in the ECAC). Selection, I believe, is made by a vote of thby Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Complete List of All Cornell NCAA Titles - 21 years ago
Men's and women's polo have won a slew of national championships, but not NCAA-sanctioned. Crew has won a bunch of IRA titles, but, again, not NCAA. Cornell wrestlers have won eight or ten individual weight classes at NCAAs, but never the team championship.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

How do I get one of those "brass bonazas?" Can't find any on eBay.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Nieuwendyk v. Manderville - 21 years ago
Joe's more than six feet tall, weighs more than 200 pounds, and played for Cornell. Ergo...he must be slow.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
NCAA/Ivy imbroglio - 21 years ago
It was an NCAA/Ivy dispute of some sort. All Ivy teams were banned from NCAA tournaments that year, as I recall. Something to do with Ivy standards being higher than what the NCAA was looking for anyway, so the Ivies weren't going to go along with whatever it was the NCAA wanted from them. Nothing to do with Cornell in particular. BU and Clarkson were locks for the NCAA final four as Cornellby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Must be a Clarkson fan. Big ECAC year for them.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: For Messers Hyla and DeFlorio - 21 years ago
Thanks, Mark. Could you find a 66-67 season game for us instead? Interesting that the current bid price is higher than any of the other sports games he's selling. College hockey fans are real nuts, I guess. (Now, just how much is this thing worth to me?)by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: Alumni game rosters - 21 years ago
Joe, Brad, and JMP all played last year. Also Steve Wilson, Mike Schafer, Chris Grenier, and many others. Attendance will depend to some degree on which past teams are being "honored" this summer. In 2000 it was the 1967 and 1970 teams (hence Ned, Ken, and many others from the Harkness era were at the game); last year it was 1986 and 1996. Sorry, but I forget this summer's "hoby Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: Icing non-call - 21 years ago
Gibber's usually a straight-shooter. I don't really feel like watching the last two minutes again, but in watching the tape the first time it appeared to me like the puck did hit something right after it left his stick. I recall one of the Cornell fans (Jim Hyla?) also mentioning something about UNH having too many men on the ice late in the game. But...it's over...and, we, sadly, are out.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
Re: CU- QU game analysis - 21 years ago
I don't think this is an accurate description of the Q goal. The shot came from Underhill's left at a severe angle and was passing harmlessly across in front of the net when it hit a skate or leg, made a 90 degree turn to the right and into the goal. It just didn't matter.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Chief, we missed you Saturday. Will look for you Sunday. Our seats are up in the balcony (332, 333) but we'll try to move down where oxygen isn't required.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Nieuwendyk/Nieuwendijk - 21 years ago
Nothing to do with the trade, but, in researching Amsterdam for a May visit, I discovered the pedestrian-only shopping street is called Nieuwendijk.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey

Re: YES Network carrying games! - 21 years ago
He had an evening commute call-in radio show back in the mid-60s in NYC, IIRC. People would try to "stump" him with questions--and rarely succeeded. Nice, kind man. Knew just about everything about sports.by Al DeFlorio - Hockey
