Feb. 26-27, 2016 ∙ Union / Rensselaer - 2 -

All-time: 1140.5/1904

Lynah: 560/798

Who's Who at CU:Junior goaltender Mitch Gillam (13-8-6, 1.94, .933, 6 SO) has started all of the Big Red's games to date and was named the ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week on Tuesday for the fourth time this season. His six shutouts are tied for third-most in the country, the latest of which came last Saturday at Dartmouth to wrap up a week-end in which he stopped 66 of the 68 shots he faced. ... Junior forward Jeff Kubiak (8-13–21) leads the team in scoring and rating (plus-14). For the entire season, he's centered a line with a pair of freshman wingers on the JAM line (an acronym of their first names) — Anthony Angello (9-9–18), who leads the team in goals, and Mitch Vanderlaan (7-8–15). ... Senior Reece Willcox (2-10–12) and freshman Alec McCrea (2-10–12) are the team's leading scorers among defensemen. ... Junior Matt Buckles (5-3–8) leads the team with four power-play goals and 60 shots on goal.

Scenario Central:Even with just two games remaining in the regular season, Cornell can still finish anywhere from fourth to eighth in the ECAC Hockey standings. In order to fin-ish fourth and claim the final first-round bye in the ECAC Hockey Championship playoffs, the Big Red must defeat both Union and Rensselaer and get a little help from other games around the league. One scenario would be Dartmouth defeat-ing St. Lawrence on Friday, plus Clarkson defeating Dartmouth and Harvard either defeating or tying St. Lawrence on Saturday. The other possibility is Dartmouth tying St. Lawrence on Friday, Clarkson defeating or tying Dartmouth and Harvard defeating St. Lawrence on Saturday. If Cornell does not finish fourth, it will host a best-of-three series in the first round from March 4-6 against Union, Brown, Colgate or Princeton.

About Union:The Dutchmen currently sit ninth in the ECAC Hockey standings, but can move up to eighth for the final home-ice berth in the first round with two wins this weekend coupled with two Clarkson losses. Union fought off Princeton for a 2-1 win at home last Friday, followed by a 3-3 tie with national No. 1 Quinnipiac. ... Junior forward Mike Vecchione (9-17–26) leads the team in scoring and has points in six consecutive games. He also leads the country in faceoff wins (465), winning 62.1% of his draws. ... Sophomore forwards Spencer Foo (12-13–25) and Ryan Scarfo (12-6–18) are tied for the goal-scoring lead. Scarfo and freshman forward Brett Supinski (9-11–20) each have six power-play goals. ... Junior Alex Sakellaropoulos (10-9-7, 2.44, .918, 2 SO) has started the lion's share of Union's games in goal. ... The Dutchmen have a better record on the road (5-4-2) than at home (5-6-7).

- 3 - Feb. 26-27, 2016 ∙ Union / Rensselaer

The Series Against Union:The Big Red and Dutchmen will do battle for the 62nd time tonight, with Cornell holding a 34-19-8 lead in the series. Cornell scored three power-play goals in the teams' first meeting this season on Jan. 16 in Schenectady, but Union scored twice in the final four minutes of the third period to salvage a 3-3 tie. Cornell swept the regular-season series last year, but Union countered by sweeping a two-game ECAC Hockey Championships first-round series in its last visit to Lynah Rink.

About Rensselaer:The Engineers were nestled in third place in the ECAC Hockey standings as recently as four weeks ago, but RPI has posted a 2-5 record in its last seven games. Between 2-1 victories Feb. 12 at Harvard and last Saturday vs. Princeton, the Engineers suffered a pair of overtime losses — Feb. 13 at Dartmouth and last Friday against top-ranked Quinnipiac. ... Senior Jason Kasdorf (10-10-4, 2.16, .935, 2 SO) has cemented himself as one of the top goaltenders in the league. Each of his shutouts required more than 40 saves, including one against Cornell. ... Junior forward Riley Bourbonnais (13-9–22; 4 PPGs) leads the team in scoring and power-play goals. Sophomore forward Lou Nanne (6-15–21) has the most assists, and senior forward Miloš Bubela (9-3–12) has three shorthanded goals. ... RPI has surrendered an average of 35.8 shots on goal per game over its last 10 contests. ... The Engineers' power play is scoreless in its last 13 chances over seven games. ... RPI is 11-4 in one-goal games and 11-3-4 when it scores first.

The Series Against Rensselaer:Cornell maintains a commanding 60-36-9 all-time series lead, even though Rensse-laer goalie Jason Kasdorf made 44 saves to stymie the Big Red in a 1-0 loss Jan. 15 at Troy. The Engineers also visited Lynah Rink during the final weekend of the regular season last year, when a pair of third-period goals from John McCarron deadlocked the team at 2. Mike Schafer holds a 28-16-7 mark against RPI.

Gillam's Groove:Junior goaltender Mitch Gillam was named ECAC Hockey Goalie of the Week on Nov. 17, then earned Player of the Week and NCAA First Star honors on Nov. 24 followed by a 40-save effort Nov. 28 against Boston University. In that span, he posted the third-longest shutout streak in program history, spanning 213 minutes, 17 seconds over four games — including consecutive shutouts at 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. Law-rence and Clarkson, and it was the Big Red's first consecutive road shutouts since Ben Scrivens blanked Princeton and Quinnipiac from Nov. 7-8, 2008. An odd twist on Gil-lam's seven career shutouts is that he's only won five of them — Dec. 28, 2014 against Lake Superior State and Nov. 20, 2015 against Yale were both scoreless ties.

A Time to Kill:At the core of Cornell's 1-0 victory Saturday at Dartmouth was a full two-minute kill of a two-man disadvantage in the third period. Defensemen Reece Willcox and Patrick McCarron played the full two minutes on the kill, and Eric Freschi played the majority of the time at forward and won two of three faceoffs. Teemu Tiitinen and Jared Fiegl also saw time on the kill, and Mitch Gillam made three saves.

One And Done:With Cornell's 1-0 win over Dartmouth last Saturday, the Big Red has three 1-0 victories in a single season for the first time in program history. Oddly enough, the other two also came on the road against Ivy League teams (Brown on Nov. 21; Princeton on Feb. 6), and the Big Red played to a scoreless deadlock against Yale on Nov. 20).

Working Overtime:The Big Red went to overtime last night for a 12th time this season, which equaled a program record also set during the 1985-86, 2010-11 and 2011-12 campaigns. Six of those overtime games came before Jan. 1 (a program first), and Cornell has needed an extra frame in five of its last seven games. The Big Red is 3-3-6 in its 12 overtime games to date, and its three OT winners are tied for second in the nation.

Feb. 26-27, 2016 ∙ Union / Rensselaer - 4 -

Wasting No Time:Junior forward Jeff Kubiak entered the season with 17 career points through his first two seasons, but he followed that up with nine points in the first six games this year. He had the Big Red's six-game point streak since Brian Ferlin's seven-game stretch from Dec. 28, 2013 to Jan. 31, 2014. Kubiak has more points this season (21) than he had in 57 games through his freshman and sophomore seasons.

What, Me Worry?:Four of Cornell's 13 victories have come in games in which it has surrendered the first goal. The Big Red had a combined record of 14-34-5 over the previous three seasons when it faced a 1-0 deficit. Cornell was a remarkable 4-0 when yielding the first goal until its Dec. 29 loss to Ohio State.

No Fear:Cornell is 1-0-1 this season against No. 1-ranked teams. The Big Red defeated Providence in overtime, 2-1, on Dec. 28 when the Friars entered the game undefeated and ranked No. 1 in both major college hockey polls. Cornell followed that up by rallying for a 2-2 tie Feb. 5 at Quinnipiac, which remains the No. 1 team in the country entering the final weekend of the ECAC Hockey regular season.

Special Threads:The Big Red wore special jerseys for its home opener which were recently auc-tioned off to bids totaling $10,400. Proceeds from the auction will go to a mission and service trip to the Dominican Republic this summer, led by head coach Mike Schafer and current players. In addition to the special design the red jerseys with a thick horizontal white stripe across the midsection, the jerseys featured name plates of the greatest Cornell hockey player to have ever donned that number ac-cording to the player that currently wears it.

Freshman Force:The jump to college hockey can be a big one for newcomers, but freshman forward Anthony Angello — a 2014 draft pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins — has felt right at home. Angello is 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 sec-ond season as head coach of his alma mater. He then scored the overtime winner Nov. 14 at Colgate and later had two goals against Merrimack on Jan. 9 to garner ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week honors. Angello's nine goals lead the team.

The Little Things Aren't So Little:While junior forward Jake Weidner is fourth on the team in scoring (3-9–12), his contributions go way deeper than those numbers — especially with increased ice time as a result of the early-season absence of John Knisley. Entering the weekend, Weidner is the team's top faceoff men (56.4%), and top shot-blocker among forwards (1.17).

- 5 - Feb. 26-27, 2016 ∙ Union / Rensselaer

Class of Captains:On the day of its season opener at Niagara, Cornell announced that its entire senior class — Christian Hilbrich, John Knisley, Teemu Tiitinen and Reece Willcox — would serve as captains during its final season on East Hill. It marks the first time in program history the Big Red has shared the captaincy among four players, though it's worth noting that only two players will wear the 'C' at any given time. Hilbrich and Willcox will serve as on-ice captains for the team's away games, while Knisley and Tiitinen will do so in home games.

Feel The Draft?:Cornell has six players on the roster who have been selected in the NHL Entry Draft, including four from 2014. Freshman forward Beau Starrett (Chicago Blackhawks) was selected earliest in the group, having been taken in the third round with the 88th overall pick. Fellow newcomer Anthony Angello, also a forward, was selected in the fifth round by the Pittsburgh Penguins. Sophomore forward Jared Fiegl (Arizona Coyotes) and Dwyer Tschantz (St. Louis Blues) were then picked in the seventh round. Junior forward Matt Buckles was taken by the Florida Panthers in the fourth round of the 2013 draft, and senior defenseman Reece Willcox was selected by the Philadel-phia Flyers in the fifth round of 2012’s event.

Understudy Extraordinaire:Associate Head Coach Ben Syer improved his career record as acting head coach to 5-0-2 after taking the helm for three games (Feb. 5-12) with Mike Schafer not in atten-dance due to a concussion suffered in practice. All but one of Syer's games as acting head coach have come with Cornell, including victories over St. Lawrence (Feb. 18, 2012), Clarkson (Nov. 14, 2014), Union (Feb. 21, 2015) and Princeton (Feb. 6), and ties at Quinnipiac (Feb. 5) and against Brown (Feb. 12).

Blank You Very Much:Cornell has recorded at least one shutout in each of the last 21 seasons – a streak that has easily been continued behind junior goaltender Mitch Gillam's five shutouts in just the first half of this season. The last time the Big Red went a full season without posting a shutout came during the 1994-95 season.

Global Influence:The Big Red has 16 players on the roster born in the United States. Cornell also now has players native to four different countries on its squad. Aside from the bulk of its roster hailing from the United States and Canada, Cornell also has a player from Den-mark (Christian Hilbrich) and Finland (Teemu Tiitinen).

Onward and Upward:With its Feb. 6 win at Princeton, Cornell surpassed its win total from the 2014-15 sea-son. Earlier this season, the Big Red recorded its first consecutive home sweeps since the 2008-09 season when it swept St. Lawrence and Clarkson in early December and a two-game set against Merrimack in early January.

Little Apples:• Junior forward Matt Buckles has four goals and an assist in his eight career games vs. Union — including two power-play goals the last time the teams met on Jan. 15.• No one on Cornell's roster has ever scored a goal against Rensselaer. Junior forwards Jake Weidner, Christian Hilbrich and Jeff Kubiak are the only Big Red players with points against the Engineers, each with one assist.• Cornell has scored just 10 goals in the third period. While that's the lowest total in the country, the Big Red has only trailed in the final period in eight of its 27 games so far this season.

Up Next:The first round of the ECAC Hockey Championship playoffs will feature four best-of-three series March 4-6 at sites to be determined. The quarterfinals will then follow, with best-of-three series hosted by the four teams earning a bye against the four first-round victors.

Where’s The Beef?

The Big Red continues its tradition as being one of the biggest teams in the country. Provided by College Hockey Inc., here is a look at how Cornell stacks up size-wise against the rest of the Division I landscape:

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 program back to a position of national prominence. Completing his 20th season behind the Cornell bench in 2014-15, he has clearly accomplished that objective, 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 388-229-83 record has him as the winningest coach in Cornell men’s hockey history. 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.

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 256-141-62 record in ECAC Hockey regular-season play and a 52-25-2 mark in the ECAC Hockey playoffs.

His peers have taken notice of his accomplishments, electing him the ECAC Hockey Coach of the Year three times during his career. He is also a three-time final-ist 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, untied 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 .614 career winning percentage entering the 2015-16 season. Additionally, his 375 career victories ranks in the Top 10 among active Division I coaches, while his eight NCAA tournament victories is tied for 12th. Most recently, the Big Red has advanced to the ECAC Hockey Championship semifinals a league-best seven times over the last 10 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). During Schafer’s tenure, Cornell players have earned numerous ECAC Hockey awards, including a pair of Player of the Year honors, four Ken Dryden Awards for the league’s top goaltender, four Defenseman of the Year awards, seven Defensive Forwards of the Year and four Rookies of the Year. Additionally, four players have earned Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America honors a total of five times.

Former Cornell standout Topher Scott ‘08 rejoined the Big Red men’s ice hockey family as an assistant coach in July 2011.

He spent the previous season as a volunteer assistant coach at Miami (Ohio).

Scott’s responsibilities with the RedHawks included breaking down game film and assisting in skill development with play-ers, among other duties. Miami (Ohio) posted a 23-10-6 record and featured two Hobey Baker Award finalists, including winner Andy Miele.

As a four-year letter winner for the Big Red, Scott was a final-ist for the Hockey Humanitarian Award and the Lowe’s Senior Class Award as a senior. He received the the Nicky Bawlf Award as the most valuable player of the 2007-08 Cornell men’s hockey

team, while also receiving the Bill Doran Sportsmanship Award for the third consecutive season and the Mark Weiss Award. He concluded his Cornell career as the 44th player in Cornell history to score 100 points, finishing with 107 points on 25 goals and 82 assists. Scott was team captain as a senior and was an assistant captain as a junior and was hailed for his services to the com-munity, including coming up with the idea for an annual “Teddy Bear Toss” for the Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes and the Franziska Racker Centers.

Following his collegiate career, Scott played professional hockey in the Central Hockey League for the Texas Brahmas and the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees before heading to Miami (Ohio) to begin work on his master’s degree in sports behavior and performance while beginning his coaching career.

Topher ScottFifth Season As Assistant CoachCornell ’08

Ben Syer joined the Cornell men’s ice hockey family in June 2011 as an assis-tant coach, taking over the lead role in

recruiting as well as coaching the defense. He was then named the Associate Head Coach of the program prior to the 2012-13 season.

Syer previously served as associate head coach during his 12 seasons at Quinnipiac under head coach Rand Pecknold. Dur-ing 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 Hockey regular season title and the 1999 MAAC regular season and 2002 MAAC tourna-ment championship crowns during his tenure.

“I have a lot of respect for Ben,” head coach Mike Schafer said. “His defensemen have always been very well-coached.

Previous assistants and other coaches I’ve talked to respect his ability to recruit top student-athletes. There is no question he is one of the top recruiters in college hockey, so we were excited to bring a quality coach on board who is so familiar with ECAC Hockey.”

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

A native of Kitchener, Ontario, Syer arrived at Quinnipiac after serving one season as an assistant coach at Ohio Univer-sity. At Ohio, Syer assisted with practice and game preparation as well as recruiting.

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.

McHugh comes to Cornell after completing three seasons as the video coordinator for the St. Lawrence men’s hockey team, where he was responsible for scouting opponents, game video analysis and post-game video breakdown, coordinating team activities and meeting with potential recruits. McHugh played a significant role in the Hobey Baker Award campaigns for both Kyle Flanagan and Greg Carey in 2012-13, providing video clips for the selection process and top ten videos.

McHugh also served as a team leader for the 2014 USA Hockey Player Development Boys Select 17 Camp in Amherst, N.Y.

Dwyer Tschantz and Alec McCrea restored Cornell's three-goal cushion after each Merrimack goal in the second period, and Mitch Gillam made 24 saves for the victory. With the victory, Cornell matched its win total from last year before reaching the halfway point of this season.

Game 16: #20 Rensselaer 1, #7/8 Cornell 0

Friday, January 15 ... at Troy, N.Y.

The Big Red's highest shot on goal total in a non-overtime game since March 2008 didn't produce any goals, and RPI goalie Jason Kas-dorf stole the show with a 44-save shutout. Cornell had nine shots on goal in the first four minutes of the second period, then a two-man advantage for 75 seconds early in the third period, but nothing could break Kasdorf. Chris Bradley scored the game's only goal on a one-timer off a feed from Mike Prapavessis in the second period.

Game 17: #7/8 Cornell 3, Union 3

Saturday, January 16 ... at Schenectady, N.Y.

The Big Red scored three power-play goals before the midway point of the game, but later coughed up the lead before salvaging a tie.

Union's final two goals came in the final four minutes of the third period, including a 6-on-4 power-play strike. Cornell had five shots on goal in the overtime period, but Union relief goalie Joe Young stopped them all in his collegiate debut.

Saturday, January 23 ... at Ithaca, N.Y.

The Crimson scored two of its three power-play goals in the first 14 minutes of the game, when it took a commanding 3-0 lead that it would not relinquish. Cornell fought back with Ryan Bliss' first goal just before the first intermission, then carried the momentum into the second period.

But the Crimson scored the game's last three goals to extend Cornell's winless skid to four games.

Junior Mitch Gillam made 32 saves for his fifth shutout of the season, and the Big Red used John Knisley’s goal to snap a seven-game winless skid.

Defen-seman Alec McCrea flagged down the puck just inside his own blue line, then looked up ice and threaded a pass to John Knisley breaking toward the left wall. Knisley entered the zone with speed and snapped a shot that found its way under the left arm of Princeton goalie Colton Phinney for the winner.

Game 27: #16 Cornell 1, Dartmouth 0

Saturday, February 20 ... at Hanover, N.H.

Mitch Gillam spent plenty of time watching his older brother, Josh, play with Dartmouth — but now he has a special memory of his own from the ice at Thompson Arena. Gillam made 33 saves for his sixth shutout of the season, and junior forward Jeff Kubiak’s goal proved to be all the offense Cornell needed. The Big Red killed off a full two minutes on a two-man disadvantage midway through the third period behind yeoman’s work from a primary trio of junior forward Eric Freschi, junior defenseman Patrick McCarron and senior defenseman Reece Willcox. And even when Dartmouth broke through for two shots on goal during the opportunity, Gillam was equal to a long one-timer from Ryan Bullock and a back-door feed setting up Troy Crema from in tight.
