Today, we're looking at Cornell University Hockey, by Adam Wodon, with Research by Arthur Mintz.

Cornell University is located in Ithaca, New York, and from everything I've seen in this book, the fans are 2^nd to none. Their hockey history is stellar, they're support of their team is without question, and they are considered some of the rowdiest fans in college hockey.

They've got a winning tradition at Cornell, and, in the modern era, are the only school with a perfect season; 29-0 during the 1969-70 campaign.

NCAA hockey is an excellent proving ground for future NHL players, and Cornell is no different. Brian Hayward played over 500 games in goal in the NHL, not to mention all-star Joe Nieuwendyk, Steve Shields, and NHL all-star, and 6-time Stanley Cup winning goalie Ken Dryden.

The pictures, going all the way back to the school's early days in the early 1900's, are quite interesting. Personally, I love history, and historical photos, and there are plenty in the book, especially at the back, where “campus life” is portrayed; for example, students in the midst of various traditions at the hockey rink.

I recommend this for any fan or alumnus of Cornell University, or even a fan of college hockey.
