A source close to the team told The Sun that the news of Syer’s departure was officially announced to the players on Thursday.
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.
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.
It’s Whitelaw Cup or bust for Cornell, whose NCAA tournament hopes ride on an ECAC championship victory.
Cornell advances to Lake Placid for ECAC championship weekend for the second consecutive year.
Cornell jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but saw it dwindle away as Harvard regained its footing.
“You can feel the energy and excitement. [We’re] ready for the weekend,” Schafer said.
“I told our guys after the game, to go 17-6-6 with 10 freshmen on our team is just a tremendous accomplishment,” Schafer said.
“We’ve lost our way in [understanding] that we need to be a really, really good defensive team,” Schafer said. “You can look at all the offensive stuff that you want, but we’re not doing the job the other way.”
