I stand corrected.  "Harvard scored four quick goals in a row." ;-)

Thanks to everyone for your answers.  Poking around here brings back some great memories that were dredged up by going to the Yale game.  I should try to make a point of seeing at least one game each year from now on!

I definitely would have remembered that, but the stick was, alas, not on fire.:-D :-D

Well, the thing that makes the game so memorable for me ( it was my junior year) is that assuming my memory is correct, Schafer broke the stick over his head, and the crowd went absolutely insane.  Just a few minutes later it was like a funeral in there as Cornell was down 4-zip.  Yet Cornell won.  It was the most dramatic game I ever saw.

I found this great site when getting ready to attend last weekend's Yale game, which was the first game that I have attended in many years, and tremendously entertaining.

Can someone please help me with the following question:

I remember two notable things about the fall 1983 home game against Harvard.  I clearly remember that Harvard scored four very quick and unanswered goals in the first period, yet Cornell ended up winning 6-5.  I am less sure that I correctly remember that when the Cornell lineup was introduced, Mike Schafer skated to center ice and broke a hockey stick over his bare head.  Am I remembering this correctly?

Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
