Baseless Speculation

[marty]

RPI includes Harkness in their ring and it's surely appropriate to consider Ned and Mike for an honor.  Much as I think that Union made a Messa their Achilles of a rink, I can't ignore the Red Berenson script on the ice at Yost.

We'll think of something.

I believe we have a Cornell hockey HOF.

RPI displays the ROH banners similarly to retired number displays. They also have an athletic HOF.

We're long overdue for something like that to honor Ned at Lynah... I like it!!

Like the Harkness Room?

I am aware of that, Arthur....  But, something on/near the ice surface, visible during games would be nice.

How about a recording during games: "Check, check, check, ... "?

i will never understand why people get so wound up about some pedantic understanding of an issue that has no fixed definition.

opposition to retiring numbers generally makes sense to me even though i don't agree with it (except in the nfl where numbers are actually a scarce resource because of position-related number rules). foot-stomping opposition to a former team captain and long-time successful coach getting his number retired as part of a way to honor his overall commitment to and success at the school does not.

The Cowboys retired Landry's fedora. The Celtics retired Auerbach's cigar. The Lakers retired Hearn's mic. Schafer doesn't have an iconic image... but he does have a uniform number. If you want to retire his blood pressure I suppose that would also be OK.

Perhaps his stick curvature calipers?

Telling my son about Billy Martin, George Brett and the pine tar game was one of the most fun things I've gotten to do as a parent. Someday I'll get to tell him about this.

Since we have, and Schafer wants, limited numbers to pick from, we can't retire too many or we won't have them for players.

I think we can all agree that it is getting out of hand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_Big_Red_men%27s_ice_hockey#Retired_Numbers

If you don't want to retire jersey numbers then we should honor the folks with something very permanent....like stone monuments in the outfield of an historic building like Yankee Stadium. That will be there forever.:-D

Yes. We could put the monuments on the ice behind the west net. Would make quite the home ice advantage.

I've wanted to put up a statue of Ned near the student entrance to Lynah and name the ice for Schafer. I've started some discussion about the statue, not with the ice. Statue would be nice for 2020 anniversary of 1970, and could honor Schafer at same time.
