Annual Awards

Did the other ivies play with an empty net in '96?

Looking at the stats? Kind of:

http://www.tbrw.info/seasons/1996/1996_Goaltending.html

For whatever reason, the Ivy League has reconfigured all of their historical pages, with standings which used to be quite good. And Greg's pages only has Ivy Standings going back to 2001, as far as I can tell: http://www.tbrw.info/?/tbrw_Indexes/ivy_History_Index.html

Good trivia is that Cornell has gone undefeated only 3x in the Ivy League. 1996 was one of them, and 1969 & 1970 the others. Dartmouth ruined it again for us this year.

Of all of the 1-loss Ivy seasons:
2014 Dartmouth
2012 @ Brown
2003 Dartmouth
1997 @ Yale
1973 @ Dartmouth
1971 @ Brown
1968 @ Brown
1967 Yale
1966 @ Harvard

FWIW - my standings pages go back to 9596 for the IVies. Sure, all the links are broken (remember hockey.cornell.edu?) so you have to manually fix the URLS but they're still there on eLynah. Example: http://www.elynah.com/news/9596/finalstand.html
I'm kind of amazed it's all still there and even still has the toolbar.  Probably too much trouble for Age to delete them.

Until now the Ivy pages are manual, but I could add Ivy records to the CHDB and then generate the records pages.  Summer project.

And that's exactly what I found myself doing on a Friday night at 11:30 to take a look at Skazyk's stats for that year. Love that the info is still there, despite the manual effort. :-D

[nyc94]

Did the other ivies play with an empty net in '96?

Looking at the stats? Kind of:

http://www.tbrw.info/seasons/1996/1996_Goaltending.html

Did Skazyk play substantially more of the minutes in Ivy games?

Checking the boxes here is what I came up with for 1996 (Ivy only):

Skazyk: 7 GP, 5-0-1, 361:46, 16 G, 2.65 GAA
Elliott: 5 GP, 4-0-0, 248:40, 12 G, 2.89 GAA

So Skazyk played about 60$ of the Ivy minutes oddly including starting every Ivy home game. Their lines are not all that different but Eddie clearly was deserving of the award.

Thanks.  His Ivy numbers were much better than his season totals.  My only real memory of Skazyk is from 1994 when the team wasn't very good and I seem to recall him being out of position quite often and scrambling to get back.

As well as "Coach (McCutcheon) has to go."  Skazyk wins award in Schafer's first season?  "It's the system."

[Trotsky]

So what you're saying is, Skazyk is not the answer?

Other than Terry Gage, Eddy did more with less than any Cornellian I can remember.

His debut at Starr was the only time in my life I have thought, "just give me the pads."

And three years later dude was the best goalie in the Ivies and one of the best three in the ECAC.

His first three seasons he was competing for playing time with Andy Bandurski. ::uhoh:: Those were pretty dark times for Goaltender U.

BTW, Greg, Skazyk seems to be missing from the uniform number list for 1995.

[cbuckser]

BTW, Greg, Skazyk seems to be missing from the uniform number list for 1995.

1994-95 was the first year Eddy wore number 39, which I believe he did to show his fealty to what one member of the forum has termed the Snow Angel School of Goaltending.

I'm much less charitable to Eddy Skazyk than Greg. Mike Schafer yanking Eddy at Harvard and handing the reins to Jason Elliott may have been as much of a turning point to the 1995-96 season as the infamous fetid bus ride home from West Point.

Eddy did play one more game that year, the following weekend against Union, and he did pretty well in a 5-1 win.  It wasn't until Elliott played the next night and posted Cornell's first shutout in (my, how times have changed) four years that Elliott got the goaltending job for keeps.

I certainly don't remember Eddy's first two-plus seasons with any degree of fondness, but you do have to concede that he wasn't exactly backstopping the Russian Red Army team either.  The main reason that 1994-95 Cornell team finished ninth instead of, say, eleventh (or worse), was that Eddy put together a surprising, even stunning, run during the second half of the season.  And his name is etched for all time in that November 1995 box score showing that he became the first Cornell goaltender in ten years (except for Jim Crozier in the playoffs) to beat the Crimson.

I guess the ECAC awards are announced Thursday, right?

------------------------------------------------

Player of the Year Candidates (according to me):
Greg Carey, SLU (18-39-57)
Ryan Haggerty, RPI (28-15-43)
Sam Anas, QU (21-21-42)
Kellen Jones, QU (18-23-41)
Daniel Carr, Union (20-20-40)
Shayne Gostisbehere, Union (8-20-28)

Best Cornell shot: Ryan (7-16-23)

No goaltender had far-and-away mind-blowing stats to warrant a POY nod this year. Anas is a freshman and not Paul Kariya, so he's discounted. Haggerty started out hot & was a one-trick pony.  Jones was more of a cog in the in the outstanding QU front lines, rather than a leader. And Gostisbehere is the best packaged d-man, so I threw him in.

It's hard to go against Carey (1.5 PPG kills the field), but given the season that Union has had, Daniel Carr is a big-time leader. I can see either getting the award.


Rookie of the Year:
Sam Anas, QU (21-21-42)
Matt Carey, SLU (18-19-37)
Gavin Bayreuther, SLU (9-27-36)
Mike Vecchione, Colgate (10-19-29)
Charlie Finn, Colgate (15-6-4, 2.38, 0.918)

Anas got all the press. Pretty sure this is his award. The younger Carey snuck up there.  Finn taking the job from the incumbent is why he gets on the list. Perry's W-L isn't good.


Coach of the Year:
Rick Bennett, Union
Don Vaughan, Colgate
Rand Pecknold, Quinnipiac
Casey Jones, Clarkson
TED DONA....phhhhhhbaahahahaha I can't do it without cracking up.

I love this year's race. I really want Vaughan to win it. This is a young Colgate team that wasn't expected to do anything and they kept going all year. The case for Bennett: in the past, when one team runs away with the league, they have rewarded that coach with this.  I love Casey, but the Knights didn't sustain the early surprise performance as well as Colgate. This has to be Vaughan, doesn't it? They'll probably vote Bennett.


Best Defensive Defenseman:
Shayne Gostisbehere, Union
Joakim Ryan, Cornell
Mat Bodie, Union
Spiro Goulakos, Colgate

It's going to be Gostisbehere. He's got the media recognition, and rightfully so. Ryan is one of the best defenders Cornell has had in a long time. The inspirational lymphoma recovery of Goulakos is a wild-card, and Bodie is the only Senior of the group, and he got tough-guy coverage from the post-game brawl at the TUC.


Best Defensive Forward:
Daniel Carr, Union
Connor Jones, QU
Ben Sexton, Clarkson
Cole Bardreau, Cornell

This is always the toughest to predict. You never know where the voters are going with this one, so I just threw some names that stand out to me. I pick Carr, seeing all of 1.5 games of him??


Dryden Award:
Michael Garteig, SO, QU (24-8-6, 1.88, 0.912)
Colin Stevens, JR, Union (22-4-2, 1.95, 0.931)
Andy Iles, SR, Cornell (16-9-5, 2.11, 0.921)
Charlie Finn, FR, Colgate (15-6-4, 2.38, 0.918)
Steve Perry, FR, Clarkson (11-10-3, 2.05, 0.917)

I put the years on there for a reason: this award generally favors upperclassmen. Finn & Perry won't win as freshmen, & don't have the stats to support it anyway. Garteig is a sophomore, has a great record & GAA, but the save % is the worst of the group. Statistically, I can't see a reason Iles should win it over Stevens, unless you really care about a Senior over a Junior and Stevens had a tighter team playing in front of him (it's the system).  Iles was 4th in each category. Stevens was top 2 in each. If Iles doesn't win it this year, he'll be the first Cornell "career" goalie to not have won it since 2000.


Student Athlete of the Year
Ask the profs.  Has anybody checked to see if Quinnipiac Athletic Corporation has hired any professors yet?
