Event Details

For many Cornellians, Thanksgiving weekend is about being with family, eating leftovers, and watching Big Red hockey at Madison Square Garden. While there isn’t a hockey game and we will not cheer on our team in the traditional sense this year, can still gather online to celebrate the rich history and promising future of Cornell Men’s Ice Hockey!
