ISBN: 0738536725 ISBN-13: 9780738536729 Publisher: Arcadia Publishing (SC) OUR PRICE: $19.79 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: September 2004 Annotation: 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 19691970 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. |
