* ECAC Hockey game # The Frozen Apple at Madison Square Garden (New York) ~ Florida College Hockey Classic (Estero, Fla.)

What’s on Tap:Cornell will make its first trip to Class of 1965 Arena for a midweek ECAC Hockey matchup against regional rival Colgate. The game will be broadcast for free on the Patriot League Network. Additionally, Jason Weinstein will handle play-by-play and Tony Eisenhut will provide color commentary that can be heard in the Ithaca area on WHCU-AM (870 AM, 95.9 FM) and around the world via the station’s website.

Big Red Rewind:Cornell is coming off an exhilarating 3-1 victory over New Hampshire on Sat-urday night at the third biennial Frozen Apple at Madison Square Garden in New York. Junior forward Trevor Yates scored his third power-play goal of the year, then freshman forward Noah Bauld's first collegiate goal proved to be the winner on a marvelous redirection of a point shot from sophomore defen-seman Matt Nuttle. Junior forward Alex Rauter put the icing on the cake with the Big Red's first penalty-shot goal in nearly 20 years — all coming in front of senior Mitch Gillam's first-star, 29-save performance in goal. The Big Red was a perfect 7-for-7 on the penalty kill against a potent UNH power play.

Who's Who at CU:Even with Jeff Kubiak — the Big Red's leading scorer last season — out of the lineup for the last eight games, the other members of the vaunted 'JAM' line from a year ago, sophomore forwards Mitch Vanderlaan (7-1–8) and Anthony Angello (3-3–6) are off to productive starts. ... Junior forward Trevor Yates (4-3–7) has scored three of the Big Red's six power-play goals to date. ... Typically paired together on defense, freshman Yanni Kaldis (0-6–6) and senior Patrick McCarron (0-6–6) are among the team's scoring leaders. McCarron comes into tonight's game with assists in six straight games. ... Senior goaltender Mitch Gillam (4-3-1, 2.52, .911) has started the last 42 games for the Big Red. His seven shutouts last year were tied for the third-most in the country.

Nov. 29, 2016 ∙ at Colgate - 2 -

An Empire State of Mind:The Big Red's stars in Saturday's win over New Hampshire at The Frozen Apple all had ties to New York. Junior forward Alex Rauter, who scored on a penalty shot in the third period, is from nearby Chatham, N.J., and once played youth hockey on MSG ice in between periods of a New York Rangers game. Freshman forward Noah Bauld, who scored the game-winner, was actually born in New York before moving to his hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia when he was a toddler, and senior goaltender Mitch Gillam once at-tended the New York Islanders' prospect camp.

The Streak Is Over!Junior forward Alex Rauter's penalty-shot goal in the third period of Satur-day's game ended a fairly remarkable string of futility on such plays for the Big Red. Rauter became the first Cornell player to score on a penalty shot since Feb. 27, 1987 — a span of 949 games since Joe Nieuwendyk scored on a penalty shot against Rensselaer.

Turning The Trick:Mitch Vanderlaan's hat trick Nov. 12 at Yale was Cornell's first since Jan. 22, 2011, when Tyler Roeszler scored three times against Colgate. Subsequently, Vanderlaan was named the ECAC Hockey Player of the Week on Nov. 15. The Big Red's leading scorer to date potted a couple more goals Nov. 19 against Princeton to become the first player from Cornell with seven goals in the first seven games of the season since Blake Gallagher did so at the start of the 2009-10 campaign.

Road Warriors:The history of Cornell hockey dates all the way back to 1900-01, but this year was the first time the Big Red has ever started its season with five consecutive road games — and all three of the trips over that stretch were lengthy. The Big Red traversed approximately 2,450 miles over a 17-day span (Oct. 27 to Nov. 13), amounting to about 44 hours on the bus. Some of the places within 2,450 miles of Cornell’s campus as the crow flies include Yellowknife, Northwest Territories (2,060 miles), the Atlantic Ocean’s en-trance to the Panama Canal (2,293 miles) and sophomore defensman Alec McCrea’s hometown of El Cajon, Calif. (2,290 miles).

ECAC Hockey Championships

Cornell has made six treks to the ECAC Hockey’s championship weekend over the last 10 years, which is tops among the circuit’s 12 teams. Here is a breakdown of recent ECAC Hockey Championship weekend appearances ...

- 3 - Nov. 29, 2016 ∙ at Colgate

What, Me Worry?:Three of Cornell's four victories so far this season have come in games in which the Big Red has surrendered the first goal. The Big Red's resilience from an early deficit has become somewhat of a trend, with the team sporting a very respectable 8-10-3 record when conceding the game's first strike since the beginning of the 2015-16 campaign. That's a stark turnaround from the team's 14-34-5 record when yielding the game's first goal from the previous three seasons (2012-15).

Apple Harvest:Freshman Yanni Kaldis is tied for the team lead with six assists and ranks third in the country in assists per game for first-year defensemen (0.75). Kaldis' passes set up the shots resulting in all three of the Big Red's power-play goals Nov. 5 at Harvard, making him the first Big Red player to record three power-play assists in a single game since Byron Bitz on Jan. 7, 2006 (in a 3-1 win vs. RIT). Subse-quently, Kaldis was named the ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week on Nov. 8.

Face Off Frenzy:Senior Jake Weidner has been the Big Red's leading faceoff man for three years now, but Jeff Kubiak's early-season injury has pushed Cornell's captain into even more draws this year. In fact, Weidner enters the weekend ranked second in the nation in average faceoffs per game (27.9) — trailing only Bentley's Max French (28.6).

Milestone Watch:Already the winningest coach in program history and in Ivy League history, Mike Schafer is closing in on another milestone this season. After Saturday's win against New Hampshire, Schafer is now just five victories short of 400 career victories. He became the 35th coach all-time to rack up 350 victories across all NCAA divisions, and he is also just the third coach to pass 350 victories with Ivy League tenure, joining Ned Harkness (Cornell, Union and Rensselaer) and Tim Taylor (Yale).

- 5 - Nov. 29, 2016 ∙ at Colgate

About Colgate:The Raiders fell to 3-7-4 with a 3-2 loss Saturday at Providence. Senior defenseman Jake Kulevich (2-7–9) and junior forward Sebastian Weberg (3-2–5) scored goals on the power play, which is now 7-for-20 over the team's last five games. ... Kulevich is tied for the team scoring lead with sophomore forward Adam Dauda (3-6–9). All of Dauda's and Weberg's goals have come on the man advantage. Seven players are tied for the team lead in goal-scoring with three. ... Senior Charlie Finn (3-5-3, 3.06, .907) has started 11 of the team's 14 games in goal, but freshman Colton Point (0-1-1, 3.42, .900) got the nod against Providence in his return to the lineup after a lengthy absence. ... Don Vaughan is in his 24th season as the head coach at Colgate.

The Series Against Colgate:Cornell holds a 79-57-15 lead in the all-time series, which dates back to 1921, after sweeping the home-and-home series last year. The Big Red scored three first-period goals and won the opener last year, 5-1, at Lynah Rink, then rallied to win the rematch, 3-2. Anthony Angello scored the win-ner in overtime in Cornell's last visit to Starr Rink. The Big Red has now lost only four times in the last 29 meetings between the teams.

Gillam’s Groove:Senior goaltender Mitch Gillam posted the third-longest shutout streak in program history last season, spanning 213 minutes, 17 seconds over four games in November 2015 — including consecutive shutouts in the Big Red's last trip to this weekend's opponents, Yale and Brown. That marked the Big Red’s first back-to-back shutouts since Andy Iles did so Dec. 2-3, 2011 against St. Lawrence and Clarkson, and it was the Big Red’s first con-secutive road shutouts since Ben Scrivens blanked Princeton and Quinni-piac from Nov. 7-8, 2008. An odd twist on Gillam’s eight career shutouts is that he’s only won six of them — Dec. 28, 2014 against Lake Superior State and Nov. 20, 2015 against Yale were both scoreless ties.

Freshman Force:The jump to college hockey can be a big one for newcomers, but forward Anthony Angello — a 2014 draft pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins — clearly felt right at home as a freshman last season. Angello was the Big Red’s first player to have points in his first four collegiate games since Ryan Moynihan from Nov. 8-16, 1996 — which was Mike Schafer’s second season as head coach of his alma mater. Angello then scored the overtime winner Nov. 14 at Colgate and was been named ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week twice (Jan. 12 and March 1) on his way to posting a team-high 11 goals.

Feel The Draft?:Cornell has five players on the roster who have been selected in the NHL Entry Draft, including four from 2014. Sophomore forward Beau Starrett (Chicago Blackhawks) was selected earliest in the group, having been taken in the third round with the 88th overall pick. Classmate Anthony Angello, also a forward, was selected in the fifth round by the Pittsburgh Penguins. Junior forwards Jared Fiegl (Arizona Coyotes) and Dwyer Tschantz (St. Louis Blues) were then picked in the seventh round. Senior forward Matt Buckles was taken by the Florida Panthers in the fourth round of the 2013 draft.

ECAC Hockey Preseason Polls

Cornell was predicted to finish fifth by the media and sixth by the coaches in the annual ECAC Hockey preseason polls, which were released in September. The Big Red finished the 2015-16 with a .500 record in the league and ended up in eighth place despite a Pairwise ranking of 16th at season’s end.

Binational Interests:Cornell has the unique distinction of having exactly 14 players hailing from both the U.S. and Canada. The Big Red joins just two other teams — Robert Morris and Michigan Tech — with an even split on their respective rosters.

Never Too Close For Comfort:The Big Red had four 1-0 victories last season for the first time in program history. Cornell also set a team record by going to overtime in 14 of its 34 games last year. The previous record was 12, set in 1985-86, then matched in 2010-11 and 2011-12. Cornell went to overtime in seven of its final 15 games, with a 4-3-7 record in those games.

Anniversary Season:There are some significant milestones in Cornell hockey history that have happened in years ending with a '7', so this season will feature a couple note-worthy anniversaries. This is the 60th year of hockey in Lynah Rink, since the facility was dedicated April 6, 1957. This season also marks the 50th anni-versary of Cornell's first national championship team in 1967. There will be a special ceremony to honor that team Jan. 27-28 during home games against Dartmouth and Harvard.

Up Next:Cornell returns home to wrap up the fall semester portion of its schedule with a pair of non-league games Dec. 2-3 against Miami. The Big Red will then regroup after the holiday break to compete Dec. 28-29 in the Florida College Classic in Estero, Fla., where it will take on Northern Michigan in the first round and either Colorado College or Merrimack on the second day.

When Mike Schafer returned to his alma mater as the 12th head coach in Cornell men’s hockey history in the summer of 1995, his goal was to bring the Big Red pro-gram back to a position of national prominence. He has now not only clearly accom-plished that objective, he is also closing in on 400 career victories while guiding the Big Red to the NCAA tournament nine times, including a berth in the NCAA Frozen Four in 2002-03 — the program’s first since 1980.

Schafer is Cornell’s second-longest tenured coach, while his 395-236-85 record has him as the winningest coach in Cornell men’s hockey history and gives him the ninth-most victories in Division I by active head coaches entering the 2016-17 sea-son. He picked up his 231st career victory on Jan. 27, 2007, a 2-1 triumph against Colgate at Lynah Rink, to become the program’s all-time wins leader. Schafer reached the 300-win milestone, a mark previously reached by only 45 coaches in all of college hockey, with the Big Red’s 4-3 victory against Colgate on Nov. 27, 2010, at the Pru-dential Center in Newark, N.J.

Coming hand-in-hand with Cornell’s success on the national scene, the Big Red has been one of the top programs in ECAC Hockey during Schafer’s tenure. Cornell has claimed five ECAC Hockey tournament titles, the most all-time in league history, and staked a claim to three regular season crowns. He has a career 259-146-64 record in ECAC Hockey regular-season play and a 54-28-2 mark in the ECAC Hockey playoffs.

His peers have taken notice of his accomplishments, electing him the ECAC Hock-ey Coach of the Year three times during his career. He is also a three-time finalist for the Spencer T. Penrose Award, presented to the national coach of the year. He has also regularly had the Big Red ranked among the nation’s elite over the past decade, including reaching as high as third in both the USCHO/CBS College Sports and the USA Today/USA Hockey polls in 2008-09. Cornell has held the top spot in the polls during the 2002-03 and 2004-05 seasons.

Schafer guided the Big Red to the ECAC Hockey tournament title in 1995-96 and 1996-97, becoming the first Cornell coach to win ECAC Hockey tournament titles, surpassing the legendary Ned Harkness for the most in program history in his first two seasons. In 2002-03, he led the Big Red to the NCAA Frozen Four, setting a school record with 30 wins, going one better than the undefeated, un-tied 29-0-0 national championship squad of 1969-70. Cornell’s 2002-03 ECAC Hockey mark of 19-2-1 was Cornell’s best mark since the 1969-70 team went 21-0 in league play.

Schafer has a .612 career winning percentage following the 2015-16 season. Most recently, the Big Red has advanced to the ECAC Hockey Championship semifinals a league-best eight times over the last 12 seasons. The Big Red has finished the season ranked in the USCHO.com poll in six of the last eight seasons.

Over his career, Schafer has coached 53 All-ECAC Hockey selections and 20 ECAC Hockey All-Rookie team picks. In 2015, the Big Red placed two players on the postseason teams, defenseman Joakim Ryan (First Team) and forward Cole Bardreau (Third Team). Both signed NHL contracts following the season. In 2012, Brian Ferlin earned ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Year honors, the first since Riley Nash in 2007 and David McKee in 2004. In 2010, Brendon Nash and Ben Scrivens were both named to the first team, marking the first time Cornell placed two in the top six since David McKee and Matt Moulson in 2005. In 2007, Riley Nash earned ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Year honors, the first since David McKee in 2004 and the first non-goalie to bring that award back to Ithaca since Kyle Knopp in 1996, Schafer’s first season as head coach.

Flanagan joins the Big Red after a couple stops following a four-year playing career at St. Lawrence. His most

recent experience came at UMass-Lowell, where he served as the River Hawks’ director of hockey operations for the 2015-16 season. Prior to that, Flanagan was the assistant coach at Hobart from 2012-15. Working under former Cornell assistant coach Mark Taylor with the Statesmen, Flanagan helped build a team that won the ECAC West title in 2015 and 2016 to reach

the NCAA tournament. Hobart was the No. 1 seed in the NCAA’s East Region last year.

No stranger to ECAC Hockey, Flanagan played 121 career games with St. Lawrence up to the 2010-11 season. He racked up 12 goals and 40 assists for 52 points, helping the Saints advance to the league’s championship weekend twice over his four years. He served as an assistant captain during his senior season, then went on to play professionally with the Las Vegas Wranglers and Quad City Mallards in the ECHL.

Syer has completed five seasons with the Cornell men’s hockey team, including four seasons as the associate head coach.

Syer joined the program in June 2011 as an assistant coach, tak-ing over the lead role in recruiting as well as coaching the de-fense. He helped guide the Big Red to a 19-9-7 record and an appearance in the NCAA regional finals in his first season on East Hill, with the team ranking 11th in the country with a 2.26 goals-against average. After the season, he was promoted to Associate Head Coach. In the five years Syer has been with the Big Red, the team has finished in the top 20 nationally in team defense four times — as high as seventh in 2014-15.

Syer previously served as Associate Head Coach during his 12 seasons at Quinnipiac. During that run, the Bobcats posted a 242-168-46 record with one NCAA tournament appearance (2002) and nine 20-win seasons. Quinnipiac won the 2005 Atlantic Hock-ey regular season title and the 1999 MAAC regular season and 2002 MAAC tournament championship crowns during his tenure.

Quinnipiac reached the MAAC tournament semifinals in each of the first four years of Syer’s tenure, including three straight MAAC finals appearances. Within that span were the 2002 MAAC tournament title and the first NCAA appearance in program history. The Bobcats also won the MAAC regular-season title in Syer’s first year at Quinnipiac.

Mike McDonaghFirst Season As Volunteer Assistant CoachPenn State ’14

Palmer shifts roles with the Big Red after spending the 2015-16 season as the volunteer assistant coach, where he worked intensively with a Cornell goal-tending corps that finished 18th in the nation in team defense.

He joined Cornell after a four-year professional career and three years as the founder and primary instructor of

Syracuse-based Palmer Goalie Systems, where he provides personal instruction and video analysis.

Palmer was a two-time gold medalist with the United States at the IIHF Under-18 World Championship, and he played for two seasons in the prestigious National Team Development Program. He was selected in the fourth round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by the Chicago Blackhawks, then went on to start 71 games for Ohio State over three seasons.

McDonagh joins the Big Red as a Vol-unteer Assistant Coach for the 2016-17 season. He was the lone senior on Penn State when the team debuted in the Big Ten Conference in the 2013-14 season. Af-ter competing with the Nittany Lions’ club team for two years, McDonagh was invited to join the varsity team for its debut sea-son in 2012-13. In 37 career varsity games,

he scored one goal and added six assists. He also was named a Big Ten Hockey Academic All-American in 2014.

McDonagh earned a bachelor’s degree in finance with a focus on entrepreneurship in 2014, then worked in marketing in New York City for two years prior to his arrival on East Hill.
