The ice has been made ready for the Biscuit Hollow Pond Hockey Winter Classic.The tournament will consist of three person teams. Because I am the owner, I get to pick my team first and I pick hockey greats Andrew and Jeffrey Sienkiewicz. And since I played goalie for the hockey team while at Cornell, I think we will have a pretty good chance to win this tournament.
Let me tell you about Cornell hockey. A storied past of excellence steeped with student and fan traditions, the Cornell hockey program is one of the most exciting in the ECAC. Nothing beats watching a game from the student section of Lynah Rink. While I was there from 1974 through 1978, most of our season offensive records were set and our won/loss percentage was .686. Three of our players went on to the NFL during that time. Defensively, we struggled. So there were no titles. Just par excellence.
Perhaps I should clarify one point. I did not play on the Cornell men's collegiate hockey team. The hockey team I was the goalie for was for my fraternity, Alpha Zeta, in the intramural broom stick hockey league. I was the goalie because at that point in my life, I couldn't skate.
