#10 Men’s Hockey Continues ECAC Hockey Play at #7 Quinnipiac, Princeton

Mike Schafer '86
The Jay R. Bloom ‘77 Head Coach of Cornell Men’s Ice Hockey

THE PUCK DROP
• The No. 10-ranked Cornell men's hockey team opens its stretch of games away from Lynah Rink this weekend when it travels to No. 7-ranked Quinnipiac and Princeton.

• Puck drop for both contests is scheduled for 7 p.m., with game action broadcast live on ESPN+ and over the airwaves on WHCU (870 AM, 97.7 FM, whcuradio.com).

• Saturday's contest at Princeton will also be carried live on SNY and NBC Sports Philadelphia.

NONE SHALL PASS…
• Cornell has allowed eight goals over its first six games this season, registering a Division I-leading 1.33 goals allowed per game average. The eight goals given up over the first six games are tied for the fourth-fewest in program history, matching the squads from 1910-11 and 2017-18. Only the 2008-09 (5), 1965-66 and 2004-05 (7 each) squads had conceded fewer goals in the opening sextet contests.

• The program record for the fewest goals allowed over Cornell's first seven games is seven, initially set during the 1965-66 season when future NHLer and Hockey Hall of Famer Ken Dryden was serving the Big Red goaltender.

• Cornell's second-fewest goals allowed over its first seven games is eight, which has happened on three occasions during the 1967-68, 2004-05, and 2017-18 seasons.

• The fewest goals conceded to opponents through the Big Red's first eight games is eight, also done in 1965-66, while the second-fewest is 11, previously done in 1967-68, 2002-03, and 2004-05.

LENDING A HELPING HAND
• Freshman defenseman Ben Robertson has opened his collegiate career registering assists in each of his first six games. The six-game assist streak is tied for the sixth-longest assist streak by a Big Red player since 1995-96, when Mike Schafer '86 took over the Cornell hockey program.

• Ryan Vesce and Stephen Bâby (2000-01), Mark McRae (2002-03), Charlie Cook (2003-04), and  Morgan Barron (2018-19) are those to have had helpers in seven straight games under Schafer.

• Robertson's six-game assist streak is the longest by a Big Red defenseman since Yanni Kaldis also had a six-game assist streak in 2018-19.

• Only three Cornell blueliners have had seven-game assist streaks dating back to the 1990-91 season, previously accomplished by Tim Vanini in 1990-91, Mark McRae in 2002-03, and Charlie Cook in 2003-04.

• No Cornell player has had an eight-game assist streak since Ryan Hughes had an eight- and nine-game assist streak in 1990-91.

STARTING OFF STRONG
• Robertson's six-game assist streak is tied for the second-longest active streak by a Division I player, matching Notre Dame's Danny Nelson. Boston College freshman Gabe Perreault has the longest active assist streak in the country, having registered an assist in each of his last eight appearances. Michigan's Seamus Casey has the longest assist streak of any player this season when he had helpers in nine straight games from Oct. 7 to Nov. 3.

• Robertson's six-game point streak is the second-longest by a Big Red freshman to open a season, dating back to 1975-76 — which served as the inaugural season first-year players were eligible to play on Cornell's varsity program. Current NHLer Morgan Barron assumes the top position for the most games with a point to open their collegiate career as he opened his Big Red career with points in each of his first seven contests (3-4—7).

STOUT DEFENSE
• Historically, Cornell has boasted one of the nation’s stingiest defensive units, as the Big Red has ranked in the top 10 in scoring defense in the last six seasons it has competed in.

• This season, Cornell has allowed the fewest goals in Division I hockey with eight goals in six games. Fellow Ivy League rivals Dartmouth (14 goals in six games), Harvard (15 goals in five games), and Princeton (15 goals in four games) are behind the Big Red.

• The Big Red's 1.33 goals allowed per game also leads Division I hockey and is four-tenths of a point higher than Quinnipiac, who is in second with its 1.73 clip.

• Last year, the Big Red yielded 66 goals against, which stood as the second-fewest in Division I, trailing ECAC Hockey counterpart Quinnipiac by just two goals (64).

• Since 2016-17, Cornell has allowed 397 goals, which leads all Division I programs that have played at least seven seasons during the span. The Big Red's 1.94 goals allowed per game is second behind Minnesota State's 1.87 average.

ON THE PLUS SIDE
• Cornell has a scoring margin of +2.17, which ranks third in the nation behind Denver (+2.30) and fellow ECAC Hockey opponent Quinnipiac (+2.27).

• The trio of programs are the lone teams to have a scoring margin above two goals per game, as Michigan is behind the Big Red in fourth with its 1.75 average.

• Of the eight goals Cornell has allowed this season, only three have come at even strength, leading to a plus-12 margin in goals scored at even strength. The Big Red's plus-12 margin ranks sixth nationally, trailing Quinnipiac (+18), Michigan (+14), Providence, St. Thomas, and Denver (+13). Dartmouth has allowed the second-fewest markers at even strength with nine.

SHANE'S WORLD
• Junior goaltender Ian Shane has excelled inside the blue paint during his time on East Hill, posting a 31-17-5 record with a 1.67 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage in his 56 appearances between the pipes.

• Over Shane's last 14 games, dating back to last season, he has a 9-4-1 record with a 1.07 goals-against average and a .945 save percentage, stopping 258 of 273 shots he has faced. During the span, Shane has allowed one goal or less on 11 occasions.

• Shane's 1.67 career goals-against average paces all active Division I goaltenders with at least 25 games played, and he is one of three goaltenders to have a career goals-against average below 2.00. Minnesota State's Keenan Rancier (1.87) and Quinnipiac's Vinny Duplessis (1.99) are the others.

• Additionally, Shane's goals-against average ranks as the fourth-best by a Cornell netminder in the modern era, trailing Dave LeNeveu (1.29), Ken Dryden (1.60), and Matthew Galajda (1.64).

• Along with Shane's impressive goals-against average, he ranks third among Division I goaltenders in save percentage (.923), trailing Notre Dame's Ryan Bischel (.925) and Minnesota's Justen Close (.924).

• Shane's nine shutouts — which match Andy Iles '14 for the eighth-most in Cornell program history — are the fourth-most by an active Division I goaltenders.

POINT SEGER
• Coming off a stellar junior year in his first season with Cornell in which he posted a 30-point season, senior forward Gabriel Seger has not missed a beat to begin the 2023-24 campaign, registering eight points (5-3—8) in the Big Red's first six games.

• Following his transfer from ECAC Hockey rival Union, Seger posted seven goals and 23 assists last year to become Cornell's first 30-point scorer since Morgan Barron in 2019-20 when he had 32 points (14 goals, 18 assists).

• The 30-point season marked the first time a Big Red player had 30-plus points in their first season at Cornell since Riley Nash (12-20—32) did so in his freshman year in 2007-08.

• Seger became the seventh player over the last 40 seasons to register at least 30 points in their first season with Cornell over the last 40 seasons. The others to accomplish the feat were Duanne Moeser in 1982-83, Joe Nieuwendyk in 1984-85, Trent Andison in 1987-88, Doug Derraugh in 1987-88, Kyle Knopp in 1995-96, and Nash in 2007-08.

• Although transfers are often a rare occurrence at Cornell, Seger became just the third player in the program's modern era (since 1957-58) to record 30-plus points in the season following their transfer to Cornell. Tom Whitehead (10-20—30) and Doug Berk (11-21—32) both accomplished the feat in 1978-79 after the varsity hockey program at fellow Ivy League institution, Penn, was disbanded.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!
• The 23-assist season by Gabriel Seger last year was the most helpers by a Big Red player since defenseman Yanni Kaldis had 24 assists in 2018-19. It was the most helpers recorded by a forward since Greg Miller registered 25 assists during the 2010-11 campaign.

• Over his two seasons at Union and his current tenure with Cornell, Seger has accrued 55 career assists. Entering this week's contests, according to data from College Hockey News, Seger is tied with Bowling Green's T.J. Lloyd and Minnesota State's Lucas Sowder for the 11th-most assists by an active Division I player.

• Seger's 55 assists are the third-most helpers by an ECAC Hockey player, trailing Clarkon's Mathieu Gosselin (59) and Quinnipiac's Collin Graf (57).

• Should Seger register at least 20 assists this season, he would become the first Cornell player with consecutive 20-assist seasons since defenseman Yanni Kaldis accomplished the feat in 2018-19 (24) and 2019-20 (20) seasons.

• No Big Red forward has had consecutive 20-assist seasons since Riley Nash did so in each of his three seasons on East Hill (2007-10). Nash had 20 assists in his freshman season before posting 21 and 23 assists in his respective sophomore and junior seasons.

HOLDING OPPONENTS AT BAY
• Cornell enters this weekend with the fewest shots allowed per game as it averages 18.3 shots on goal against per game (110 shot against in six games). Providence is second with a 22.6 clip (249 shots against in 11 games).

• Over the Big Red's last 14 games, dating back to Feb. 18, Cornell has allowed an average of 19.5 shots on goal per game, which is 3.4 shots better than second-place Quinnipiac (22.9).

KILL, RED, KILL
• The Big Red concluded the 2022-23 season successfully killing off its opponent's last 18 power-play opportunities. Dating back to Feb. 18, Cornell has successfully killed 38 of its last 45 penalties, good for a .896 conversion rate, which ranks sixth in the nation during the span.

• Union (48-of-50 — .962), Quinnipiac (63-of-66 — .957), New Hampshire (24-of-26 — .929), Northeastern (30-of-33 — .917), and Providence (65-of-72 — .911) have higher clips.

• Cornell's five power-play goals allowed over its last 14 games are the fifth-fewest in the span, trailing Union and New Hampshire (2), and Quinnipiac and Northeastern (3).

ECAC HOCKEY PRESEASON POLL
• Cornell was picked to finish second in the ECAC Hockey Coaches' Preseason Poll, which ECAC Hockey announced on Sept. 27.

• Following a vote among the 12 head coaches in ECAC Hockey, the reigning national champion, Quinnipiac, received 10 of the 12 first-place votes, finishing with a league-leading 120 points. Cornell was right behind the Bobcats as the only other program to garner 100 points with its 108-point total. Harvard (98) and Clarkson (92) finished third and fourth, respectively, while splitting the remaining two first-place votes.

• St. Lawrence (79), Colgate (68), RPI (53), and Union (45) were in the middle of the poll, finishing in positions five through eight. Rounding out the 12-team poll were the other four Ivy League programs in Princeton (44), Yale (35), Dartmouth (30), and Brown (20).

IT'S JUST A NUMBER…
• A number never worn in program history and a digit never donned by a blueliner in 64 years highlight this season's sweater numbers worn by Cornellian players.

• Freshman Jonathan Castagna will be the first player to don a No. 38 sweater for the Cornell men's hockey program and be the first Big Red forward to wear a sweater number north of 30.

• Former Big Red goaltender Eddy Skazyk is the only player to have worn a sweater number higher than Castagna's No. 38 when he wore No. 39 for two seasons from 1994-96.

• Fellow freshman Marian Mosko is the first defenseman to wear No. 13 since the first bearer of the oft-deemed "unlucky" No. 13, Lane Montesano, who split time as both a forward and defenseman from 1957-59.

• Mosko is the first true defenseman in Cornell history to wear No. 13, which has only been worn six times in the modern era of Cornell hockey, dating back to 1957-58. The freshman blueliner is just the second Big Red player to wear No. 13 over the last 57 seasons, joining former Big Red forward Jack Malone, who wore the sweater number for the previous four seasons.

ONE OF THE BEST
• Mike Schafer '86, the Jay R. Bloom '77 Head Coach of Cornell Men's Ice Hockey, is one of 10 active collegiate hockey head coaches with 500 career victories behind the bench.

• Schafer's 524 wins currently rank as the 26th-most by a head coach in college hockey history and is 12 shy of matching former Minnesota State bench boss Don Brose (536) for the 25th-most victories in college hockey history.

• Among active Division I men's head coaches, Schafer has the fourth-most wins, trailing Quinnipiac's Rand Pecknold (620), Mercyhurst's Rick Gotkin (599), and Notre Dame's Jeff Jackson (578). 

• Regardless of level or gender, Schafer's 524 victories are the ninth-most by active college hockey head coaches.

• At Cornell, Schafer's 524 wins are the third-most by any coach with one program, trailing former softball head coach Dick Blood (623) and the late legendary baseball head coach Ted Thoren (541).

SCOUTING QUINNIPIAC
• Quinnipiac, who is ranked No. 7 in both the USCHO.com and USA Hockey/TRL Live polls this week, has a 7-3-1 overall record and leads ECAC Hockey with its 3-0-1 record and 10 points.

• The Bobcats are unbeaten over its last five games, posting a 4-0-1 record following a loss to Maine in the opening game of their two-game non-conference series on Oct. 27 and Oct. 28.

• Jacob Quillan paces Quinnipiac's offense with his 15 points (five goals, 10 assists), while Collin Graf (four goals, eight assists) and Sam Lipkin (six goals, four assists) also have surpassed 10 points early on in the season.

• Vinny Duplessis has started in seven of his eight outings this year, logging a 1.59 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage. Freshman Matej Marinov has a 1.90 goals-against average and a .905 save percentage during his five outings between the pipes.

22 YEARS, 268 MILES, 49 MEETINGS
• Cornell and Quinnipiac will meet for the 50th time on Friday night. The Big Red own the lead in the series, 26-19-4, and is 9-3-1 over its last 13 meetings with the Bobcats.

• The last three and four of the last five contests between Cornell and Quinnipiac have resulted in at least one team recording a shutout.

• Each of the previous three games played at M&T Bank Center have been shutouts, as Quinnipiac won 5-0 on Jan. 31, 2020 before Ian Shane posted a 42-save shutout as a freshman in a 1-0 triumph on Feb. 25, 2022. Last year's contest in Hamden favored Quinnipiac as the Bobcats held Cornell to just nine shots on goal in a 2-0 victory.

2023-24 Roster

If you’ve never been to a Big Red hockey game at Cornell’s Lynah Rink, there are quite a few things you’ve never experienced. You’ve never camped in line to get season tickets and ensure your spot as one of the raucous and devoted "Lynah Faithful." But most importantly, if you’ve never been to Lynah, you’ve never experienced all the best that college hockey offers.

Lynah Rink, which enters its 67th year of being the home of Big Red hockey this season, was dedicated on April 6, 1957, in honor of the late James Lynah '05, who served as the director of athletics at Cornell from 1935-43.

Cornell began sponsoring a hockey team in the 1900-01 season, which featured all Big Red home games played on the university’s outdoor rink on Beebe Lake. Due to a series of abnormally mild winters, the program was left on "thin ice," causing Cornell to drop the program entirely after the 1947-48 campaign.

Fortunately, the construction of Lynah Rink gave Cornell hockey a new home, ensuring ice hockey would return as a varsity sport beginning with the 1957-58 season.

The facility has received numerous face-lifts since hosting its inaugural game on March 21, 1957, between the New York Rangers and the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Cornell spent nearly $1 million renovating Lynah in the summer of 2000, replacing the rink floor, drainage system, frost protection and refrigeration piping, and adding new boards and seamless glass.

During the summer of 2006, a 16,700-square-foot expansion added new locker rooms, coaches offices, study lounges, new athletic training space, and approximately 450 new seats in the seating bowl.

Though many physical aspects of Lynah Rink have changed over time, the crowd remains constant. Lynah Rink can hold 4,267 boisterous Cornell hockey fans who provide unwavering support for the Big Red while creating an unparalleled atmosphere in college hockey.

Although many rinks in the nation are bigger in capacity, few are known to be louder. The Cornell fans, aptly named the "Lynah Faithful," stream into every home contest, making themselves as much a part of the game as the players do. Whether they’re cheering for the Big Red or joining the pep band in their rendition of "Give My Regards to Davy," the Lynah Faithful reaffirms the old saying, "There’s no place like home."

Since the doors opened on Lynah Rink, the Cornell men's hockey program has won a pair of NCAA Division I men’s hockey championships in 1967 and 1970, garnering an ECAC Hockey-record 12 tournament championships (1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1973, 1980, 1986, 1996, 1997, 2003, 2005, 2010) and 25 Ivy League titles, 21 of which have been won outright.

• Cornell will travel to New York City for the ninth installment of Red Hot Hockey between the Big Red and Boston University at Madison Square Garden next Saturday.

• Puck drop between the Big Red and Terriers is scheduled for 8 p.m. Game action will be broadcast on ESPN+ and over the airwaves on WHCU (870 AM, 97.7 FM, whcuradio.com).

• The Big Red have won each of the last three Red Hot Hockey matchups, which included a 6-4 victory in 2021 to retain the Kelley-Harkness Trophy.
