Sat Jan 3, Bowl with the Red 5-7pm at Helen Newman...if you're in Ithaca stop by!

McKee likes the warm weather...used to the type of ice in Florida since its similar to that in Texas

Adam: Did you know you would come to Cornell eventually?
McKee: It was certain but he deferred and was going to play with Naimo (sp is wrong)...the short notice didn't throw off his preparation since he was preparing for Naimo

Academically prepared?
It's been rough...wanted to take classes in BC before coming to Cornell...feeling better about his classes now though

Challenged by following Lenny?
Block it all out...tries to go out and play as best as possible

Know the tradition of Cornell goalies?
He did know...really wanted to be a part of it.  Really liked the amazing coaching staff.  Was looking at a lot of schools...came down to the players and coaching staff.

Really happy with all of the time that he's been getting but feels sorry for Todd.  Happy he can make an early impression.  He likes the pressure.

Adam: Coach has gotten on your case a few times but you've responded well
McKee: McKee puts more pressure on himself than anyone else and always wants to win.

Adam: First game was an exhibition game...thoughts
McKee: The fans at Lynah are unbelievable...lots of kids are in his classes.  Saw games the year before and it is so different between the stands and on the ice.  Can't hear yourself think on the ice.  He heard the rumors about the fish with Harvard.  The Harvard game was his best experience of his life thus far.

Adam: Heros growing up in Texas...
McKee: his father, helped him with confidence and finding places to play.  Hockey is booming in Texas now...has gone from 500 players to 8000 players in 7 or 8 years.  Dallas Stars take a lot of the credit.

Adam: How did you get into Hockey...
McKee: Got into it because his older friends played.  Was forced to go to the Stars second game and got hooked on hockey in 1993.

Adam: What do you need to improve?
McKee: Need to stay physical and aggressive.

Adam: You personally?
McKee: play faster...making trasition to cold weather at Cornell has been difficult

There you have it...sorry it was rough...tried to get it out ASAP...third period is under way

Notre Dame has to press to get back into the game...the Big Red pull down a player as he gets loose in front of the net...Glover is the guilty party...PP for ND

[Greg Berge]

pp killed off.

thanks for the interview.  that was great.  =)

(was the mention of marr said on a whim or was he asked about it?  just curious)

[atb9]

Goal!  Amazing shot!  A laser!  Maybe went off the stick of a defender!  6:21 from Knoepfli, assists from Hynes and Wallace!!

[Greg Berge]

3  6:21 Cor   Knoepfli 3 (Hynes 4, Wallace 3)

OByrne hauls down his player as he gets beat...another PP for ND

[atb9]

He was asked if he was happy to get so many minutes in place of Marr...and he turned it around saying he wasn't happy or lucky that Todd was injured...he was just happy that he was able to perform well when given the opportunity.

[atb9]

back to 5 on 5...Adam thinks ND has had the better play this period but Cornell has a real cushion...they're happy with how McKee has played...As I'm typing...GOAL Pegeraro!  His first of the season!
