A source close to the team told The Sun that the news of Syer’s departure was officially announced to the players on Thursday.
Nine players scored for Cornell, including six with multi-goal games.
A late offensive stay by Notre Dame ultimately proved costly for Cornell, as a long shift resulted in a goal by Ben Ramsey — only his second of the year — with just six seconds left.
“It’ll be a great opportunity [to] play at a neutral site against a great team and [in] a great environment. You can’t ask for much more.”
What went down on Schoellkopf Field will likely go down as one of the most memorable games in recent memory, and a sure game of the year candidate.
Cornell finishes its season 22-7-6 and with a Whitelaw Cup under its belt. The Red will look to break its 21-year Frozen Four drought in the 2024-25 season.
The Quakers downed the Red, 11-10, in a double-overtime heartbreaker, bumping Cornell down to second place in the Ivy League.
Men’s hockey is one win away from the Frozen Four.
”We have that experience of getting through that first round but not getting through the second one,” Schafer said. “It’s extremely difficult to win it and get [to the Frozen Four].”
“Some guys are like, ‘Okay, that’s happened 1,000 times — why is that a big deal?’” Syer said. “Well, you know what? One goal, because I don’t go blade on blade and deflect a puck into the netting, could be the difference between 0-0 and 1-0. And 1-0 can win a game.”
