I suppose we can start off this thread with today's announcement of Colgate's new head coach. That leaves Schafer as the longest tenured head coach in the conference I think

Colgate alum and former assistant coach Mike Harder '97 https://colgateathletics.com/news/2023/6/2/mens-ice-hockey-mike-harder-97-named-head-mens-hockey-coach.aspx

They can yell "HARDER!" again, that's nice.

Was he playing around the time "We want Weder" became a thing or am I off by a few years?

He's Colgate class of '97, and the Weder series was March '96.

I certainly remember shouting "Hit Harder harder!" Amazing he's still Colgate's leading career scorer, considering 1) that was the era of lowest offense in modern hockey, and 2) they've had players the caliber of Andy MacDonald come through since.

Edit: 214 points. Damn, he was really good.

Schafer is in fact the ECAC's longest tenured head coach.  Pecknold was hired at Quinnipiac in 1994, one year before Schafer's tenure began, but Q didn't join the ECAC until 2005.

That's not the Harder chant that I remember....  The one that I recall was "F me harder"

[Trotsky]

The chant I remember was a sizeable group of Colgate coeds at Starr chanting "Harder!  Harder!" with appropriate intonation. One of the best chants I have ever heard, by any crowd.

I remember Shep Harder, who played goalie for Colgate around the same time, whacking his stick on the ice at the end of a penalty, and several of us shouting "Harder!  Whack it harder!"  (Actually that might have been at the Colgate-Clarkson game during a North Country weekend when their game was in the afternoon, and Cornell-SLU in the evening...)

Shep also picked up a fighting major at Lynah in 2000.

And a double-DQ, IIRC, since he skated the length of the ice to fight with our goalie (Ian Burt?)

That was Union's Leeor Shtrom in 1998.

How do you people remember this stuff?  I am not sure what I had for breakfast this morning. **]
