FEATURING ONE OF THE FINEST COACHING STAFFS IN THE COUNTRY  Mike SchaferCornell University Head Coach When Mike Schafer was hired as Cornell's 12th head hockey coach in 1995, his goal was to bring the Big Red back to the top of the ECAC Hockey League. During his 10 seasons on the Big Red bench, he has accomplished that objective, winning four ECACHL tournament titles and staking a claim to three regular-season crowns. Schafer has guided his Cornell squad to five NCAA tournament appearances in his first decade, including the Big Red's first run to the Frozen Four since 1980 in 2002-03. His team has consistently been ranked among the nation's elite over the last four seasons, reaching the No. 1 overall ranking in 2002-03 and 2004-05. In 2004, Schafer was voted the ECACHL Coach of the Year by his peers for the third year in a row, having also received the honor in 2002 and 2003. He is also a three-time finalist for the Spencer T. Penrose Award, given to the national coach of the year. He is just the second Big Red hockey coach to reach 200 career victories, and he is the only Big Red mentor to win ECACHL championships in his first two years. In 1997, the team won a record-setting ninth ECACHL tournament championship and maintains the lead with 11. Over the years, Schafer has coached 32 All-ECACHL picks and 14 ECACHL All-Rookie team selections. In 2004, goalie David McKee was named ECACHL Co-Rookie of the Year before putting together one of the dominant seasons ever by a goalie on his way to 2005 ECACHL and Ivy League Player of the Year honors. Among the players whom Schafer has coached in the last 10 years are two ECACHL Players of the Year, three Ken Dryden Award winners, three Defensive Defensemen of the Year, three players who have been named Defensive Forward of the Year a total of four times, two ECACHL Rookies of the Year, seven players who have been named first-team All-ECACHL nine times and two players who have been named ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans a total of three times. Eleven of Schafer's former Cornell athletes entered the 2005-06 season having signed agreements to play in the National Hockey League system. A 1986 Cornell graduate, Schafer was a four-year letterman on defense for the Big Red. He was a team captain for two seasons and capped his college career by leading the skaters to the ECAC championship and a No. 5 national ranking in his senior year. Brent Brekke
Brekke was drafted by the Quebec Nordiques in 1991 and played in the American Hockey League during the 1994-95 season for Quebec's Cornwall, Ont., team. The following year he played for the Colorado Avalanche's Dayton, Ohio, team. He was named team captain and finished the year with six goals and 18 assists in 58 games. Scott Garrow
Garrow joined Cornell in June 2003 as an assistant coach and is in his second stint with the Big Red. He assisted coach Schafer from 1995-99 when he worked with the forwards, goaltenders, and with the power-play units. Garrow began his coaching career as a volunteer assistant at WMU during the 1994-95 campaign. During 1999 -2003, Garrow was an assistant coach and worked with the Broncos' forwards and goaltenders and was responsible for breaking down game tape and scouting video.
