Gerry Dee interviewed former men’s hockey goaltender Ben Scrivens ’10 and other members of the Toronto Marlies, and advised them how to go about getting called up to the NHL. During his segment, Scrivens talks about “glorified waiting” at the Hotel school, and even knocks on Providence College for not being an Ivy. Be sure to check out an interview with the Hobey Baker Award finalist in tomorrow's Sun. 

The ECHL’s Reading Royals — affiliate of the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins and AHL’s Toronto Marlies — announced Wednesday that former Cornell goaltender Ben Scrivens ’10 has been recalled from the Royals by the Maple Leafs and assigned to the Marlies.

Men's hockey center Riley Nash is taking his game to the NHL after signing a three-year deal with the Carolina Hurricanes.

For the first time since 2005, two members of the men’s hockey team were named to the first team in ECAC Hockey. The league office announced yesterday afternoon that senior goaltender Ben Scrivens and defenseman Brendon Nash, also a senior, made the top list — both made the jump from second team accolades last season.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. ­–– Senior goaltender Ben Scrivens managed his 16th career shutout on Friday night at Harvard, helping the Red to a 3-0 victory over the Crimson on Friday night. This shutout –– his fifth of the season –– leaves Scrivens only two shy of the University record for most career shutouts, currently held by David McKee. It was also the first shutout that the Red has claimed over the Crimson away from Ithaca since 1967, and this had the numerous Cornell fans at Harvard’s rink –– affectionately called Lynah East –– bursting with excitement.

This weekend proved to be the start of new beginnings, as sophomore Michael Garman saw his first moments of conference play this season. Head coach Mike Schafer ’86 made the executive decision to switch out senior goaltender Ben Scrivens, after he let in four goals within 26 minutes, for Garman. Finishing up the remainder of the game between the posts, Garman made 21 saves to keep the Red still in the game.

Tonight and tomorrow, Lynah Rink will host what could be two of the most crucial home games for the Red this year. Tonight, Cornell (13-6-3, 7-2-2 ECAC Hockey) will square off against the visiting Brown Bears (7-13-3, 5-8-3) in what will be the 110th meeting in this historic rivalry. Tomorrow, a Yale team (14-6-3, 10-4-2) that is tied for first place in ECAC Hockey will come to Ithaca for a 7 p.m. matchup.

In some games, a normally empty sports cliché really rings true. After Friday’s 2-0 victory for the men’s hockey team, the old saying “a win’s a win” certainly came to mind. Despite being outshot, 32-16, Cornell prevailed over Quinnipiac on the back of a remarkable shutout performance by senior goalie Ben Scrivens.
