Red Hot Hockey: Cornell Big Red v. Boston University Terriers at MSG

[40-Year Big Red Fan]

As do many of the teams Cornell faces, BU has taken advantage of the "new" transfer rules and has four grad students playing. Cornell after a good start is coming off three losses. The Cornell and BU alumni played a game this afternoon.

BU is the home team. Ian Shane is back in goal for Cornell.
