Nice read that brings me back to the Cornell days.

Good information on the history of cornell hockey. Pictures are great.

Minor gripes.
Not enough recent pictures.
All pictures are in black and white.
All pictures are small.

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.
