According to BR Puckhead, according to USHR:

"USHR reports Quinny's Ben Syer new AC at Cornell and Topher Scott looks likely to be the 2nd AC. Thoughts? Scottie off to Princeton."

What has Topher been up to?

What has Topher been up to?

About 5'6"...

Volunteer assistant coach at Miami this past season: http://www.muredhawks.com/sports/m-hockey/mtt/scott_topher00.html

[Trotsky]

What has Topher been up to?

About 5'6"...

With skates on.  Maybe.

I assume Garrow decided to move on and was not shown the door.  He was a great assistant.  This does ruin his best joke, though.

About 5'6"...

With skates on.  Maybe.

Or as I like to say, "He's 5'6" soaking wet."

Suspect he didn't get Associate position and felt he should move on.

My son plays on a team with a player whose Dad used to play at Quinnipiac before they jumped to D1.  He's a good guy and he's still close to the program and friendly with Rand Pecknold.  He has discussed Syer with Pecknold and he had nothing but good things to say about Syer.  It's tough to lose Casey but hopefully Syer will be a great recruiter and fit right in.  My source is usually spot on about all things Quinnipiac.......

Via ECAC site article from CollegeHockeyInc on Coach Schafer.

A couple of interesting quotes:

The biggest win of your career?

Still looking for it.

An unsung hero in your program (on or off the ice)?

Favorite TV show? [asked of Coach Schafer]

IJ article on Scott Garrow leaving. It sounds like Garrow left on good terms and it's about broadening his experience to land a head coaching job:
