In the past 20 years Cornell won 3 ECAC men's ice hockey championships. In the previous 30 years Cornell won 9 ECAC men's ice hockey championships. If you are content with these numbers good for you, but please don't defend your satisfaction with references to league change, bad hops, and all that malarky, just enjoy the status quo.

I assumed the question was rhetorical. The answer's Ken Dryden.

Agree with your first statement. Even if you didn't know the answer, you could guess it by the way it was posted. It's hard to believe he was waiting for an answer.::looking::

I am not happy with participation ribbons in an inferior league. If we can't regularly compete against the top teams in the country then the sport doesn't interest me nearly as much.

A useful comparison would be how schools similar to Cornell have fared. There was RPI in 1985 and Harvard in 1989 winning NCAA titles. Then nothing for two decades. Then Yale and Union the past couple years. So it can be done.

Sure it can be done, just not very often.

In the past 20 years (1997 - 2016) Cornell has one 4 ECAC championships.  Only 8 in the 30 years before that.  If we go back 21 years - i.e. the Schafer tenure - it is 5 ECAC championships vs 7 in the prior 30 years... and 40 years... A little loose with the stats.

So we have lies, damned lies, statistics, and alternative facts?

There was a time when sarcasm was appreciated. You see, posters on this site disparaged Dryden and Cornell teams of his era because they supposedly played at a time when excellence in hockey was easier to achieve. My sarcastic question was meant to point out that excellence in the NHL at that time must also have been easier to achieve since Dryden blew away competition in his rookie-minus-one year in the NHL and was goaltender for the Stanley Cup winning team in six of the eight seasons he played in the NHL. Nonsense is nonsense, with or without insults.
