Im thinking that the gift is from Sanford Weill, class of '55(i think)

THere is no doubt that the ECAC isn't as as strong as the other Division 1 hockey conferences. The "one and done format" does give a weaker squad a better chance for victory. Especially, in hockey, where the importance of a hot goalie (e.g Dadswell in the 1986 ecac tourney or the RIT goalie last year), can increase the chances of an upset. Remember, no one really thinks that 1980 Team USA was a better team than the 1980 Soviet Team. There is a reason why the professional championships are decided in best of seven game series.

How can I buy a Cornell Hockey Jersey

Once again, Cornell loses and we wonder if we would be more successful with a different coach or goalie.  Lets remember, Schafer consistently fields a competitive team, one that can hold its own  against national competition. I am sure Schafer would love to have a team full of Matt Moulson's, Doug Derraughs, etc.  If you follow hockey,whether college or pro,  the dream of having snipers is often an elusive one. They are just not that many around. Schafer is an excellent coach. He has a system that he thinks is the best for the talent he is able to recruit.
As for Scrivens, he must be doing something right. He has been successful. He didn't lose the Yale game. His team was exhausted and played tired.
Aslo, at the start of the year no one thought this team would be a frozen four team.
I have been following Cornell hockey since 1985. I continue to hope for more success for the team. Maybe next year.
