Its Identity Time

This is the most crucial time of the season for Cornell Hockey.

There are 4 weekends of regular season play left. We are in the home stretch. This weekend will define the season. Are we a team that had gotten lucky for a few months, but now the luck has run out? Or are we a strong team that has run into adversity, but has the character and determination to overcome it? This weekend, the team will make a statement. One way or another, by the end of Saturday's game, we will know what kind of team we are.

In Clarkson, Scrivens responded. He came back from one of his worst games and had one of his best. The rest of the team needs to respond to the worst two consecutive weekends of the season. They need to play with skill, with intensity, with desperation. And they need to do it as a team. Scrivens could have a good game, so what, Clarkson proved that means nothing. Greening can have a good game, so what. The team needs to have a stellar weekend, as a team.

This is not about standings, this is not about rankings. This is about character. Teams with character win championships. Teams without it cannot, no matter how talented they are on paper.
