Cornell University Hockey (Images of Sports: New York) [Paperback]

Adam Wodon (Author), Arthur Mintz (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 6, 2004

Few schools, if any, have a reverence for their history as Cornell University does for its hockey program. The tradition is largely a winning one, punctuated by the only perfect season of the modern era, a 29-0 mark in the 1969–1970 season. Started on a frozen pond in 1900, Cornell hockey was revitalized in the late 1950s with the completion of the campus’s first indoor facility, Lynah Rink. Since then, names like Ken Dryden, Ned Harkness, Lance Nethery, Joe Nieuwendyk, Daren Eliot, Mike Schafer, and David LeNeveu have won championship after championship. Their stories are recounted in Cornell University Hockey.

This book is a pleasant summary history of Cornell Big Red Hockey. There is a chapter for each of the six head coaches of the last sixty years, a chapter about hockey on Beebe Lake, and a final chapter on the Lynah Rink experience.

The book is missing two things: color pictures and a summary of team year-to-year results. Lynah Rink has banners honoring the NCAA championships, NCAA appearances, ECAC championships, and Ivy League championships. I would like to see that summary in the final pages of the book.

The only things you'll get out of this book that you may not find easily on the internet are the pictures.

Also, I was disappointed that the author was not a Cornellian.

You can finish this book in one sitting and not because it's well written or particularly interesting. If you extract just the words from this book it will not fill a pamphlet.
