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.”
Seger may play for an American team now, but it’s not uncommon to see the blue and yellow of the Swedish flag waving in the stands of Lynah Rink in a display of support.
After securing an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament, men’s hockey is joined by 15 other top-notch teams.
It’s taken 27 years to get another at Lake Placid, and 14 years to get another ECAC championship, and Schafer has learned some things.
Sports editor Jane McNally breaks down all that you’ve missed and all that you need to know before today’s men’s ice hockey game at the NCAA tournament in Springfield, MA.
On Saturday night, men’s hockey broke a 14-year ECAC title drought, defeating St. Lawrence, 3-1, at Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid, NY. It is the team’s sixth title under Schafer.
The win marks Cornell’s 13th Whitelaw Cup in program history, the most of any ECAC team.
After five unanswered goals, Cornell will contend for its first Whitelaw Cup since 2019.
