In a goalies’ league, Ben Scrivens ranks among the best. ECAC Hockey games are relatively low-scoring and the league has produced a number of big-name college hockey goalkeepers, many from the rink far above Cayuga’s Waters. In fact, few positions in sports have as much institutional tradition as Cornell’s netminder. Ken Dryden ’69 went 26-0-1 as a sophomore to lead the team to its first national championship in 1966-67, and played starting goalie for the Montreal Canadiens from 1971-1979. Brian Cropper ’71 went 29-0-0 en route to the Red’s second, and last, national championship in 1969-70. From 2002-2005, Cornell accounted for three of four Ken Dryden Awards, given to the top goalie in ECAC Hockey.
