I hear from a well-placed source that the terms should keep him at Cornell as long as he wants to be there...

Great, great news. I wouldn't leave Ithaca either if I was Mike. Nice place to raise kids.

Hard to imagine today would be a net plus in news, but it is. Thank you.

Man, you must really be taking the Northern League Xbox story hard. :-P

So was there ever the slightest shred of truth to the Schafer/Notre Dame story?

[q] So was there ever the slightest shred of truth to the Schafer/Notre Dame story?[/q]I have no idea. But putting on my tinfoil hat, what if Schafer intentionally floated the rumor that he was interested in the Notre Dame job in order to get more favorable terms from Andy? Pretty sneaky, sis....

This thread makes me smile. :-) Congratulations to Mike and his family.

Great news to read as I write out my check to the Cornell Fund going to Men's Ice Hockey. :-) Thanks for posting the article.

A few more tidbits on the length of the contract are mentioned in an article in today's Daily Sun.

More stellar Daily Sun grammar:

[q]"After bringing home the ECACHL regular season and tournament titles, a fourth consecutive Ivy League title and earning a third NCAA tournament berth in four seasons . . ."[/q]

Beeeej

P.S. Yes, I am overly picky. Anything to keep my mind off the Bar exam.

That mention in the article would be "Matt" Cooney, I assume.

And a little perspective on the goalie situation...
[q] The Red also found another goaltender to complement CCM first-team All-American, junior David McKee, and senior Louis Chabot, in freshman Dan DiLeo. DiLeo was the goaltender for the Wichita Falls (Texas) Wildcats in the North American Hockey League, the same league McKee played in before suiting up for the Red.

"I think [Dan's] going to start to compete with Louis Chabot for playing time," Schafer said. "Because of David, right now in the recruiting process we're not going to get the elite goaltender. Dan comes in with that same position Louis has, he's very much a team guy, really wants to play, but yet he needs to improve more to play. Dan has that same kind of characteristics."

[q]I think [Dan's] going to start to compete with Louis Chabot for playing time," Schafer said. [/q]

Now that's an amusing quote.
