Thank you for the morning humor! I needed that!

Press release here.

Recently retired Cornell men's hockey head coach Mike Schafer '86 will captain Team Big Red while Matt Hedge '07, vice president and senior wealth advisor for Tompkins Financial Advisors, will captain Team Racker.

Casey Jones '90, the current Jay R. Bloom '77 Head Coach of Cornell Men's Hockey, will participate in the exhibition game, along with former Cornell players Pete Shier '78, Jeremy Downs '05, Matt Hedge '07, Cornell hockey fan favorite Topher Scott '08, and Tim Rego '25 are slated to suit up in the contest. Current assistant coach Chris Brown, equipment manager Sean Schmidt, and rising junior forward Jake Kraft and rising sophomore forward Charlie Major are also scheduled to participate.

I was '07. What in the world is a Matt Hedge?

He played club for 3 years and was a local kid. Marv McLeod and he were called up to varsity for 2006-2007 because of the short roster. I think O'Byrne, Pokulok, and a few others went pro. Matt never played but you probably ran into him at Dunbar's.

That explains why I don't remember him.

I'd rather be stuck in Jersey than at work

Lol... got a frickin' endoscopy in [checks calendar] about a week, so. Hopefully I get to head back up to Ithaca afterwards. I was supposed to be at home for "four days"... this was in May...

Hope everything went okay with your procedure

Still alive (sadly?). They still don't know what's wrong though. Such is life.

Glad to hear you're still with us. I enjoy your knowledge and insight. Hockey season usually cures things for me.
I'm hearing news of ice repairs taking place soon. Anyone got the 411?

I have always wondered why it seems like Cornell hockey has so few insiders. Looking at the RPI, Clarkson, etc threads around the internet it seems like these programs have multiple people in the know that are able to give important information to other fans in advance. Meanwhile we hear pretty much nothing aside from official releases from Cornell athletics despite having a much larger and more involved fanbase. Not a big deal really but I'm just curious why that is.

Also our guy Adam W has been doing a nice summer podcast series with new head coaches, hopefully he has coach Jones on soon, would be nice to get my summer Cornell hockey fix.

There are fans with this information. They just aren't posting it on this forum. Ironically the much larger fanbase might be the reason why: it's a more significant leak to reveal this intel to 200 rather than 20 people. (I don't have inside info, but there are certain fans up in Ithaca who do.)

Because those who know, know.

I don't understand your post. Are you saying that there are Cornell fans with info that they relay to 200 people somewhere else? Or that other schools, RPI & Clarkson, have larger fanbase and that's why they get inside info and we don't?

And if you don't have inside info, how are you sure that other fans in Ithaca have the info? The only way to know for sure that others have info is to get it from them and that means you have it???

He is saying that every school has insiders but eLynah has too many readers to feel like you are using your inside voice if you post here.

Correct.

Those who are on campus and/or attending booster events know a lot more than what gets posted here. As for why it doesn't get posted here, I can only speculate. One guess is that there are way more eyes on this forum and so the impact of leaks is greater. More than anything I would guess that many with this information simply don't post here because they already get enough of a Cornell hockey fix from physically being around the team.

There are many things that if you say out loud mean you lose your inside information as well. Its not like this place is locked behind a pay wall
