Baseless Speculation

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.

,,, and to carry the analogy further along, there'd be a momument to the athletic directors at the time of Harkness and Schafer, and if it's anything like the Steinbrenner graven image, it'd tower over the players / coaches.

But the Schaefer Beer sign towers above all....oh the irony (ignoring spelling guide).

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.

I wasn't sure where to put this but since this thread is about Schafer this will work.

Has him listed with Hastings, Bazin, and Jackson as among the best options to go from college to pros. I doubt he'd leave but it was interesting.

I'm not so sure.  Schafer on a few occasions has expressed interest in someday coaching in the pros, and while I'm sure he'd prefer to leave with a NC under his belt, given that he's now 54 or so, I think if an NHL team came calling he'd have to take a shot.

As for Quinn, he spent the past five seasons at the University of Boston, where he succeeded one of the greatest coaches of all time, Jack Parker. His highlight was 2014-15, when Jack Eichel won the Hobey Baker and the Terriers made the national championship game.

Could have been worse.  They could have had Quinn spending the past five seasons at "Boston College", which would not be the first time that confusion has come up.

Yeah it's not great but again just thought it was interesting that they were even bringing Schafer up.

I think if an NHL team came calling he'd have to check if his refrigerator was running.
