Captain McCarron?

[ACM]

The History page on cornellbigred.com lists captains under the season-by-season records, and I got far enough back that I wasn't sure anymore whether a given player was a goalie without finding one, but it also doesn't list assistant captains, which I would guess is more common for a goalie, on account of the approaching refs stuff that you mentioned.

Laing Kennedy, 1962-63; Brian Hayward, 1981-82.

Also, before my time at Cornell, John Detwiler, 1959-60.  As far as I can tell, that's all the goalie captains in the Lynah Rink era.

Darren Eliot 1982-83.

Wow.  Some of those brawls with the Fergusons were right out of Slap Shot.  And you didn't get a game misconduct, you got five for fighting then came right back on the ice to find the guy again.::uhoh::

Back in the day, Cornell held intramural boxing championships and Doug Ferguson competed at least once.  As I recall, he lost the bout that I saw.

Huh. Maybe it was speculation then, or discussion of an opponent who wore a captaincy letter.  The most relevant search result is here.

A goalie can't be designated as a captain for a game and can't act as a captain (talking with refs, etc.)  A team can name a goalie as its captain, but the title is effectively an honorary one.

Here's what the NCAA rule book has to say on the subject:

Rule 6 - Captain and Alternate Captains
6.1 Captain - One game captain shall be appointed by each team, and shall be the only player to have the privilege of discussing with the referee
any questions relating to interpretation of rules that may arise during the progress of a game. The captain should wear the letter "C,'' approximately 3 inches in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of the jersey.
The referee and official scorer shall be advised before the start of each game of the name of the captain of the team and the designated alternate.
Alternate Captain - If the captain is not available because of injury or an imposed penalty, another player may be designated to act as captain.
Captain's Privileges - The captain may not dispute a judgment decision of the referee.
PENALTY—Misconduct. For further violation, game misconduct.
A goalkeeper shall not be entitled to exercise the privileges of captain.
The captain of each team shall meet with the referee before the start of each game (82.2).
During an altercation, the captain may not exercise his or her privileges until the referee has entered the referees' crease.

This is a tangent, but does this mean that if a team has tri-captains, as Cornell did this past season, one of the three is designated to be the game captain before a given game, and only that one may act as the captain for that game?

And a further tangent, does this mean that if either McCarron or Bardreau is not dressed for a game for whatever reason, the team would need to designate a different alternate captain because Iles would not be eligible to act in that capacity?

Hey, I seem to recall Hornby doing that as recently as 2004.

Heh, I found an old thread discussing Rocke that also contains a discussion on who's allowed to lobby the ref.  The more offseason threads change, the more they stay the same.
