Quote from: ACM on February 19, 2026, 08:54:08 AMMarc, Robert and Andrew Wyttenbach all played junior-varsity hockey for Cornell from the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, until the JV program was disbanded, having outlived its usefulness. I spent way too many Saturday and Sunday mornings at those games, as official scorer, PA announcer, or both. My records of those times are no longer in my possession, having contributed 40 boxes of material to the University Archives when I downsized about 5 1/2 years ago, but they are available for reference in the reading room in the basement of Olin Library.

Some JV facts: Schafer coached the JV team as part of his job as assistant coach right after he graduated. Tony Eisenhut, the analyst on the ESPN+ broadcasts, was a JV player.

Am I correct somebody actually made the jump to varsity and became a significant contributor in the mid 80s?  My addled brain insists on Moeser or Natyshak but that can't possible be true.  Major, maybe?  Heaphy?

It wasn't Moeser. He was in my freshman seminar, and wrote about being on the (varsity) hockey team.

Have we lost a game in regulation since Stereax started starting the threads? (Too lazy too check, but I don't think we have.) Assuming that is the case, THIS is the thread we should be using.

Quote from: andyw2100 on February 06, 2026, 08:19:26 PMCommentator talked about Major's uncle "Henry" having played for Cornell in the 80s, along with Nieuwendyk, etc. Major's uncle's name was Mark. Wonder where Henry came from.

His brother also committed to Cornell is henry

Thanks. I knew Major had a brother coming. Didn't remember his first name.

Quote from: stereax on February 04, 2026, 12:52:19 PMThe weekly Casey's out, for those wondering, but he mentioned quite clearly in his messaging that he'd prefer they not be shared online anymore. Mea culpa there, sorry Coach! 😅

He did refer to the postings as being on "social media." I wonder if he thinks they are being shared on something like Facebook.

While I've never thought of eLynah as social media, I guess one might consider this that.

Quote from: dbilmes on February 02, 2026, 02:26:17 PMI wish I'd known at the time. I always bring an extra Cornell baseball cap with me to throw on the ice if a Cornell player gets a hat trick and would have gladly done so.

do I toss my spare down before the colgate game at home?

Mail it to the official scorer.

I don't remember whose hat trick it was at Lynah perhaps six to eight years ago, but in the highlight that shows the goal you can see the result of my plucking the hat off of my future son-in-law's head and tossing it on the ice. I was quick. It was one of, if not THE first hat on the ice. He was pretty surprised. (He got it back.)

Edit: Must have been Angelo 2018 or Barron 2019. Will see if I can find it later.

It was Barron. (Angelo's wasn't at Lynah.)

Quote from: stereax on January 31, 2026, 09:30:18 PMProv ties with 5.6 to go. Holy shit.

Maine hangs on and we're 6th in NPI this morning.

Certainly happy with 7th, but wow!

Quote from: chimpfood on January 31, 2026, 11:15:07 PMAnother Ithaca kid we probably regret not getting is Cooper Dennis. He has 53 points in 47 OHL games and is going to Michigan next season. But he is 5'6

Do we land the Ithacan kids, ever?

Andy Iles.

Not the answer.

"PM me for details."

Quote from: stereax on January 31, 2026, 07:35:06 PMI suggest Casey force them to shoot at the EN for practice next week.

4-2 final. Hell yeah.

And at least temporarily up to 7th in NPI!

A month ago did any one think we'd even be sniffing a possible 2 seed?

Quote from: stereax on January 31, 2026, 07:17:09 PMChallenged for something. Timeout lost. Eh. Whatever.

Another dumb Whittet challenge. I assume it was for a slew foot but DiGiulian was obviously trying to block the shot and the trip was inadvertent.

I thought the announcer said WE lost our timeout?

He did.

Also said Casey was upset after the decision on the review.

We challenged and lost. They just kept showing the contact with Digiulian, but the announcer knew that wasn't what was being reviewed, since it was Cornell challenging for a penalty.

Quote from: stereax on January 27, 2026, 09:32:10 AMNext you're gonna say we can't call the opposing goalie a sieve...

Not if he's actually a funnel...

Or a Vacuum...

Or a Black Hole...

(I stay away from eLynah for a few hours and come back to find the ball dropped. Sheeeesh!)

Quote from: Give My Regards on January 26, 2026, 11:33:10 AMIt took way too long to find this, but if we're talking hockey player fashion, we have to bring up this one:

I knew what this picture was going to be by the time I got to "this."

Quote from: Trotsky on January 26, 2026, 09:50:24 AMThere are 3 issues.

1. Rounding.
2. I counted <1 seeds as 0, probably should have used 1.
3. I no add good.

I only even mentioned it because the other three were 100, 99, and 99+. Our 97 seemed to be an outlier.

Thanks for the work!
