TheCornell Big Red men's ice hockey team is aNational Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)Division Icollege ice hockey program that representsCornell University. Cornell competes in theECAC Hockey conference and plays its home games atLynah Rink inIthaca,New York. Six of the eightIvy League schools sponsor men's hockey and all six teams play in the 12-team ECAC. The Ivy League crowns a champion based on the results of the games played between its members during the ECAC season.
Cornell has won the ECAC Championship a record 14 times and since the formal creation of the Ivy League athletic conference in 1956 has won the Ivy League title a record 26 times (22 outright, four tied),[1] two more thanHarvard's 24 (20 outright, four tied).
The 1970 Cornell Hockey team, coached byNed Harkness was the first (and currently only team) in NCAA hockey history to win a national title while being undefeated and untied with aperfect 29–0–0 record.[2]
The Big Red's archrival is theHarvard Crimson. The teams meet at least twice each season for installments of the historicCornell–Harvard hockey rivalry.
During Christmas break of 1894–95,Yale University studentMalcolm Greene Chace, later known as the "father ofhockey in the United States,"[3] invitedAlexander Meiklejohn, along with a team of men from Yale, Brown, Harvard, and Columbia to tour Canada with the goal of learning the Canadian game of ice hockey, which differed from the game of ice polo normally played by American college students.[4][3] Upon their return, the students established hockey clubs at their respective schools.[4] Meiklejohn promoted the game at Cornell, where he was a graduate student.[5][6][7]
Cornell's history with ice hockey begins at the close of the 19th century, with the first organized game being played in March 1900 against theUniversity of Buffalo.[8] Cornell was embarrassed in their first appearance, losing 1–10, but that didn't dissuade the school from pression forward. The next year inPhiladelphia, the ice hockey squad played a total of three games over a four-day period, winning each contest. That weekend Cornell employedG. A. Smith as the team's coach but for the next eight years the club would go without. That was perhaps just as well as Cornell played four games over a three-year period, with each match being held at theSt. Nicholas Rink inNew York City, and was then mothballed for two years. The newly rechristened Big Red[9] returned in February 1907, playing a two-game set on campus for the first time. With no indoor or even artificial facility available all home games were played onBeebe Lake. This ended up being a rather poor arrangement since the ice hockey team would have to rely on good weather for their games until the second half of the century.
In 1909Talbot Hunter arrived to be the first full-time head coach for the Big Red and was able to lead the ice hockey team to a perfect 10–0 record in 1910–11 with none of the games played inIthaca. Talbot would leave after 1912 but after one win in two seasons he returned as joint ice hockey,lacrosse andsoccer coach, heading the squads for two years before moving on. 1916 was also the last year for the ice hockey team as it was shut down due toWorld War I and lack of available facilities. Up to 1916 Cornell had only played 6 games at their 'home' rink and the team wouldn't return to the ice until 1921. When they did their new head coach was formerNHA-erNick Bawlf, who would lead the program until 1947. Cornell would play as much as it was able over the next 27 years, frequently eschewing Beebe Lake when it wasn't cold enough to skate on safely. After 1931 Cornell could manage no more than two home games each season but, despite the inconvenience, the university continued to support the program. Cornell was one of the few teams to continue playing throughout the duration ofWorld War II but after Bawlf died in the summer of 1947[10] the drive behind keeping the team alive diminished. Cornell would play one more hockey season underBud Boeringer but after so much difficulty with the weather the program was suspended indefinitely.[11]
In March 1957 Cornell opened its first on-campus arena, the Lynah Rink.[12] The following winter Cornell restarted its ice hockey program with a convincing 16–3 win over theLehigh club team. While the Big Red wouldn't win many more games over the succeeding three seasons head coachPaul Patten slowly rebuilt the program until it was a respectable squad. Cornell was one of 28 schools who were founding members ofECAC Hockey in 1961 and commemorated the occasion by posting their first winning season since returning. The Big Red finished eighth in the conference but weren't ranked highly enough to receive a bid into the 8-team postseason tournament.[13]
Patten resigned in 1963 and was replaced by formerRensselaer head coachNed Harkness. That move was a major turning point in the history of the program. Within two seasons Harkness turned the Big Red into a powerhouse, leading them to a 19–7 record, their first of 11 consecutive .700+ records. though they lost their first playoff game toBrown they improved to 22–5 the next year and reached theECAC championship game. Cornell received the second eastern bid for finishing as the conference runner-up but because of a disagreement between theNCAA and theIvy League over postseason participation Cornell declined the invitation.[7]
In November 1966 the Cornell faithful were able to get their first taste ofKen Dryden, a goaltender who had made waves on the freshman team the year before, and were overjoyed when the Big Red got off to an 11–0 start. A big game was held between the nation's top two teams[14] on December 30 when Cornell metBoston University in the championship game of theBoston Arena Christmas Tournament. The two teams fought to a 3–3 tie through regulation and continued to battle on into the night. After two extra periods neither Dryden nor his counterpart had relinquished another goal and the head coaches for both squads agreed to declare the game a draw with both teams claiming the championship. The following weekend senior David Quarrie was in net for Cornell's first defeat of the season but the 3–4 home loss toYale lit a fire under the Big Red. Cornell would not lose another game at the Lynah Rink until February 1972, setting a record that stands today of 63 consecutive home wins.[7] The Big Red, led by Dryden,Mike Doran,Harry Orr andDoug Ferguson dominated their competition the rest of the year, surrendering only 12 goals in the next 11 games (all victories) finishing the regular season with a 22–1–1 record. The Big Red were not, however, able to claim the ECAC title as Boston University had finished with a 19–0–1 record in conference play. Cornell turned its second-place finish into an 11–2 trouncing of Brown in the quarterfinals followed up by demolishing third-placeBoston College 12–2 in the semifinal. The Big Red met BU in the ECAC championship game for their much-awaited rematch but this time no overtime was needed as Cornell took the title 4–3.
Despite the championship win Boston University received the top eastern seed and were able to play 15–14–1Michigan State while Cornell was forced to take on the best team in the west,North Dakota. Cornell was able to defeat the powerful but low-scoring[15] Fighting Sioux in a nail-biter, winning 1–0 before meeting Boston University for the third time in thechampionship game. Cornell got off to a quick start, scoring less than two minutes into the game, and never looked back, taking their first national title by a score of 4–1. Aside from it being the first championship for the Big Red, it was the first crown for any eastern squad since head coach Ned Harkness won his championship with Rensselaer in1954.
Ken Dryden would continue to post gaudy records for the Big Red for the next two seasons, winning both the ECAC regular season and tournament championships both years, but faltered in the NCAA tournament, finishing third and second, respectively. Dryden left the school with an astonishing 76–4–1 career record, setting a host of new NCAA records including for career wins,save percentage (.939) andgoals against average (1.59). While most of his records have since been broken, his career winning percentage of.944 will likely remain untouched.[7]
When Dryden graduated in 1969, leaving Cornell without the best player in program history, the Big Red were expected to take a step back but team captainsDick Bertrand,Dan Lodboa andJohn Hughes weren't about to let that happen. After an early-season scare against Brown the team ran through the competition, going 24–0 in the regular season, outscoring opponents 156–43. After evisceratingSt. Lawrence 8–1 in the quarterfinals Cornell finally got some pushback with a close 6–5 win overHarvard in the semifinals. In the championship game the Big Red faced off againstClarkson for the first time that season with the Golden Knights top goaltenderBruce Bullock being seen as the only thing that could stop the Big Red from continuing their undefeated season. While Bullock did his job the rest of the Clarkson team couldn't and Cornell claimed its fourth consecutive ECAC tournament championship (a record they hold with Boston University).
In the NCAA tournament Cornell faced off againstWisconsin for the first time in team history[7] and were stifled by the Badgers, being held to less than three goals for the first time all season. Wisconsin, however, wasn't able to solve the oppressive Big Red defense and Cornell won the game 2–1. In the championship match Cornell was again set against Clarkson and the Golden Knights got an early jump with a goal 20 seconds into the contest. The Big Red built a 2–1 lead before Clarkson tied the game late in the first period then retook the advantage by the midpoint of the second period. Cornell knotted the score just over four minutes later and sent the game into the third tied at 3-all. In the final frame the offensive onslaught from Cornell finally broke down Clarkson and Lodboa scored a naturalhat trick with a goal at even strength, on thepower-play andshorthanded. The stellar individual performance allowed Cornell to win the game 6–4, claim their second national title, and post the first(and only, as of 2025) undefeated and untied championship season in NCAADivision I history.
After the undefeated season Ned Harkness left the school to take over theDetroit Red Wings, becoming the first college coach to jump directly into theNHL. His successor was named shortly thereafter asDick Bertrand. When Bertrand took over he hadn't yet graduated and thus became the first undergraduate to be named as head coach of a program in NCAA history.[16] The Big Red hardly lost a step under their new bench boss, going 22–5 in his first season but Cornell faltered in the conference playoffs and finished in fourth place, missing the NCAA tournament for the first time in five years. The team made up for it the following two seasons by winning back-to-back ECAC crowns and reaching the conference title game both times, winning in1973. The Big Red reached the championship game in 1972 but this time they were no match for Boston University and each of the 39 shots they fired atsilver-medalistTim Regan was turned aside and they lost the match 0–4. They followed up that disappointment by getting their worst tournament result in program history, finishing fourth in1973. Cornell would continue to produce stellar results for the remainder of the 1970s, posting .700+ records each season except for1976 (.638) but the team failed to win another regular season crown in any of those years. In addition they lost every ECAC semifinal game they played and were thus left out of the NCAA tournament.
In 1980 Cornell finished with the worst record since before Ned Harkness arrived, but squeaked into the postseason as the 8th seed. The Big Red went on to a surprise run through the conference tournament, taking the title overDartmouth and making the NCAA tournament. Despite a strong showing Cornell lost their game againstNorthern Michigan and once again finished in 4th place. The following season Cornell won the West Region, taking their only ECAC division title, but, more importantly, reached the ECAC title game. Though the NCAA had expanded the tournament to 8 teams for that season and discarded the assumed bids for conference runners-up, Cornell had a strong enough record to warrant a #3 seed and get a rematch against Northern Michigan. The quarterfinal was set as a two-game total-goal series, and when the Wildcats took the first game 7–3 the Big Red were behind the eight ball. Cornell fought back valiantly, winning the second game 4–3 but it wasn't enough to keep them alive in the tournament.
The next season saw Cornell produce a losing record and miss the ECAC playoff for the first time since1964 soon thereafter Bertrand resigned and turned over head coaching duties to his assistantLou Reycroft. It took three years before the Big Red returned to the ECAC postseason, doing so the year after 7 teams left to formHockey East. The year after saw Cornell win 20 games for the first time in seven seasons and win the ECAC title but they were once again bounced in the quarterfinals, losing by 1 goal to Championship-era nemesisDenver. After the team dropped to 9th in the conference the following year and missed the playoffs Reycroft was out and replaced byBrian McCutcheon who had played on the Big Red's 1970 championship team. McCutcheon was able to get Cornell back to a winning record and keep them there for five seasons but could only manage to reach one NCAA tournament and one conference championship game in that time. After that the Big Red declined sharply, tying the team record for most loses in a season (19) in1993. After two more years of futility McCutcheon was ousted and replaced by another Cornell grad,Mike Schafer.[17]
The Schafer-era began with a bang as Cornell got its first 20-plus-win season in a decade as well as claiming the1996 ECAC tournament. He followed that up with a second ECAC championship and got Cornell to win its first NCAA tournament round in 25 years. Cornell went through a short lull for the four years after that initial success but won the ECAC regular season title in2002, their first in 29 years, and the following year posted their most successful season since 1970 by winning the ECAC regular season championship, the conference tournament and reaching their first frozen four since 1980. During that seasonDavid LeNeveu broke the 45-year-old NCAA record for lowest single-season goals against average with a 1.20 mark (since broken)[18] as he helped the Big Red post their first 30-win season.
Cornell would continue to produce good results under Schafer for the next several years, winning both conference titles in2005 withDavid McKee breaking Ken Dryden's team record for lowest single-season save percentage (.947). The following year the team finished as ECAC tournament runners-up and though they failed to make it out of the regionals they did play in the longest scoreless tie in NCAA history. While Wisconsin outshot, outskated and out-chanced the Big Red all game long McKee kept the Badgers off the board until 5 second remained in the third overtime period, nearly two full games worth of action. After a down year the following season Cornell would finish in the top three in the ECAC championship for five consecutive seasons, winning the title in2010 but then went into a four-year slump where their highest finish was 4th place in the conference.
In2017 the team notched 20 wins for the first time since 2010 and finished as conference runners-up. They followed that season up with an ECAC regular season title and while they made the NCAA tournament both years they flamed out in the first round both times.
In2019–2020 the team finished 23–2–4 and ranked #1 in the nation in the USCHO.com poll.[19] Cornell had the best record in the ECAC Hockey League play and received both the Cleary Cup and the Ivy League title for the third straight year. The 2020 ECAC and NCAA tournaments were cancelled due to thecoronavirus pandemic.[20] The team won the Ivy League in both 2022-23 and 2023-24. They followed up their consecutive Ivy League wins with consecutiveECAC tournament victories in2023-24 and2024-25, despite the abundance of injuries and slow start in the latter season. They built on those conference titles by reaching the quarterfinals of theNCAA tournament both years. After the conclusion of the 2024-25 season, longtime coachMike Schafer retired and assistant coachCasey Jones took over the head coaching position.
