Cornell Set to Begin Season at Lynah

Fans who have been holding their breath since March will finally
be able to breathe the crisp Lynah Rink air again on Friday at 7
p.m. when the puck drops for the opening game of the men’s
ice hockey season against Guelph (1-6,1-4 OUA), with a second game
versus Carleton (3-1-4, 2-2 OUA) Saturday at the same time.
In 2010, though the Red spent most of the first half of the season
figuring the key to a winning pattern, the team finished the year
in strong form with a 16-15-5 record and an ECAC championship bid.
The forecast for the Red’s lineup includes some time-tried
veterans as well as 10 new faces. Head coach Mike Schafer is joined
on the bench by two new assistant coaches, Ben Syer and Topher
Scott ’08. Lead scorer, junior Greg Miller returns to the
squad, anchoring the offense, and senior co-captain Keir Ross will
return to defend the blue line.
