During the countdown, we at WAFT have left Good Evening, Hockey Fans to go, due to the sheer volume of posting, but we are starting it up again, now that the season is in full swing.  So look to find your weekly Good Evening, Hockey Fans posts on Tuesdays throughout the season.

A New Mask, A New Season?

The back of Scrivens's mask has a maple leaf, an homage to his Canadian nationality, as well as other features.
Andy Iles's mask is something of note, as a Cornell goaltender's always is.  From alumnus Ben Scrivens's mask featuring the Lynah Faithful to Andy's mask last year featuring Ken Dryden as well as some wonderful Cornell features, to Omar Kanji's entertaining mask, the goaltender mask is something of note for fans of Cornell hockey.  So when Cornell equipment manager Sean Schmidt tweeted pictures of Andy Iles's new mask, it was something of note.  Iles kept the same mask his freshman and sophomore years, so it was unexpected that he would get a new one.  His new one, however, holds quite a bit of significance for the Big Red.  Instead of the red of last mask, this new one is notably white.  The incredibly sharp mask features huggy bear on one side, ivy throughout as well as the Cornell seal.  What was most notable, however, was the back.  The back of the mask has green and pink ribbons, as Iles's masks often do, but what is most interesting is the inclusion of Cornell's previous national championship years with a simple, sleek '67 on one side and '70 on the other.  It appears that Iles's goal for the season might be a bit higher than the norm.  As much as we at WAFT enjoyed the last helmet, love this iteration. 

Cornell Once Again Rocks Three Goaltenders

@cornellwaft I tweeted about it before the game -- junior Chris Hogan has joined the team as a third goaltender.

Cornell began its preseason with Andy Iles and Omar Kanji as its only goaltenders.  Many of the Lynah Faithful were weary about whether having two goaltenders instead of the normal three (or four in the case of Michigan this season) would be a problem.  But at the first game of the season, Cornell dressed three goaltenders, the third of which wore the number 30 without a name on his back.  Brandon Thomas confirmed that this was Chris Hogan and that more information would be forthcoming.  Hogan played for Cornell's ACHA team as one of their goaltenders in the past.  He is an engineering student and we will keep you apprised as we learn more.

Ivy League Tops NCAA Graduation Rates


Cornell comes in with a 97.0% graduation rate which is amongst the highest in the country, in the middle of the Ivy League.  Dartmouth tops the Ivies with a 99.7% rate and Penn caps the lowest of the still high rates with a 96.4%.  It is important that the Ivies continue to graduate athletes as they graduate students, which is impressive for the amount of varsity sports which Cornell sponsors.

Cornell Women Receive Ivy Pendants

Katelyn Pippy, sophomore goaltender for Cornell, tweeted a picture of the team getting pendants.  The pendants commemorate their Ivy League title.  Here is a picture of the pendants:

Who is "Penn," mentioned in the graduation rate entry? I thought for an instant you meant "Penn State," except PSU isn't in the Ivy League.

By "Penn" I meant the University of Pennsylvania. The NCAA graduation rate takes into consideration all sports, not just hockey, which is why Penn and Columbia both are included in the link. Sorry for the confusion! We often forget that Penn is an Ivy too. :)
