A Breath of Fresh Air from Lynah Rink
The following article appeared in the October 24 issue of the Cornell Daily Sun.
Like the start of every season, the many unrecognizable faces at Lynah this weekend made me feel like a stranger at times to this familiar building on East Hill. Luckily the touch of her wooden benches and the sounds of her echoing walls brought back a distinctively refreshing excitement that is instantly recognizable to any Faithful.
It’s time for Cornell hockey!
This exhibition weekend showcased the potential that the men’s team could have on both ends of the spectrum in the upcoming season. On one hand, a second- and third-period breakdown of the offensive lines on Friday night against Guelph painted an image of a very talented, yet inexperienced team that does not have the stamina to play 60 minutes on the collegiate level. On the other, fans saw a well-prepared group on Saturday that limited a worthy opponent to 12 shots for the entire night, and put up 36 of its own in a 5-1 blowout win. It is not clear which team we’ll see more this year, but these games reaffirmed preseason discussions that the Red has the potential to earn a first week bye in March and become a force to be reckoned with in the postseason.
