Your Hockey Bye-Week Pick-Me-Up

It's been over a week since the last Cornell hockey game, and the start of the quarterfinal series against RPI is still four days away. So here are a few videos to reinvigorate your hockey spirits while we wait. (Don't miss the lacrosse video at the end.)

2003 NCAA Regional Final: Cornell 2, Boston College 1 (2 OT). This goal by Matt McRae sent then-No. 1 Cornell to the Frozen Four and made SportsCenter's Top 10 plays.


2008 Florida College Hockey Classic Championship Game: Cornell tops Colgate in a shootout. Senior defenseman Jared Seminoff is the unlikely hero, as his goal, combined with a stop by Ben Scrivens, hands Cornell the tournament championship.


November 10, 2006: Cornell 3, Harvard 2. Then-sophomore Michael Kennedy's breakaway goal with 1:32 remaining puts Cornell on top.


January 14, 2005: Cornell 2, Union 1. Mike Iggulden scores a shorthanded goal in overtime to defeat Union in Schenectady. This game would kick off a 19-game stretch run during which Cornell went 18-0-1 before losing to Minnesota in overtime in the NCAA quarterfinals.


This isn't hockey, but it's my favorite Cornell sports video:

2007 NCAA Lacrosse Quarterfinal: Cornell 12, Albany 11 (OT). Max Seibald makes a fantastic defensive play that sets up John Glynn for the game winner with four seconds remaining in overtime. Cornell (then 15-0) advanced to the Final Four at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, where I saw them lose a heartbreaker to Duke.
