Castagna and Cournoyer receive ECAC Weekly Awards on

[Chris H82]

Joe was a dominant presence as a college player.  I hate retired numbers but I am fine with him.

I would retire 3 for Mike, were I the retiring type.  He was a fun and consequential player and is (arguably) the single greatest contributor to Cornell hockey.

All 4 of my Rushmore -- Schafer, Dryden, Ned Harkness, and Laing Kennedy -- are Canadian.  Who is the greatest American contributor to Cornell hockey? James Lynah, from South Carolina, founded the ECAC, but while towering alumnus and namesake I don't think of him as specifically Cornell.

Maybe it's Art Mintz.  :-)

Topher Scott? Stephen Baby? Jay Bloom?

An alternative to retiring Schafer's number.

Oh that is a WONDERFUL idea.

Montana State football has a neat tradition of having an in-state senior wear #41, in honor of Montana being the 41st state, amongst other reasons.

Sorry, it's not original. SU has been doing that for years.

44 for football and 22 for lacrosse.

The difference is that they are honoring a series of players that have worn the number. For example Jim Brown, Ernie Davis and Floyd Little in football.

So it's not exactly the same.

Personally I like the idea of hanging a jersey, with name and number, rather than retiring it.

Ring of honor on the wall/balcony. We have other things to hang from the rafters.

Wait for the players to die.  Stuff the corpses.  Position them like knights along the entryway.  "Makin' it look mean."

See, outside of all the ethical shit and practical stuff too, do we really want a line of dead 90-year-olds welcoming us to Lynah?
