“Every time you play a home game at Lynah, you don’t want to let the fans down,” Bancroft said. “Last night wasn’t the result we wanted, but I think we did a good job bouncing back and delivering tonight.”
The Red outshot the Bulldogs 18-1 in the final 25 minutes of the game but couldn’t find the back of the net.
“Yale and Brown obviously aren’t as good in the rankings, but the rankings don’t really mean anything,” said sophomore forward Ryan Walsh. “For those teams, this is their biggest game. They love coming to Lynah and playing us.”
Cornell saw a 2-0 lead slip away and staged a third-period comeback en route to a 5-3 win and sweep of North Dakota.
“We’ll definitely respect that, but we can’t give them too much respect. We also have a great team, and we’re very confident where we’re at right now.”
Men’s and women’s ice hockey play their first games at Lynah Rink for this season. Here’s a brief history chronicled in photos.
In 2023, it was Boston University. In 2024, it was Denver, which went on to win a National Championship. Men’s hockey, instead, was home in Ithaca, reeling at what could’ve been an unlikely road to greatness.
Four newcomers will adorn the Red’s roster this season — two forwards, one defenseman and a goaltender.
“There’s an old saying: ‘If you want to see God laugh, tell him your plans.’ And for me, my plans are just to stay in the moment each day. And if I do that, and our team can do that, it always leads to success for us.”
Goals poured on, gloves were nearly dropped and a goaltender was ejected in a dramatic matchup that, on paper, does not count.
