All the Big Red’s home games were played on the university’s outdoor rink at Beebe Lake until the 1947-48 season when a series of abnormally mild winters left the team on “thin ice” at Beebe, causing Cornell to drop its hockey program entirely. Fortunately, the construction of Lynah Rink gave the team a new home, en- abling Cornell to resume ice hockey

as a varsity sport for the 1957-58 the CoachesMeet season. Women’s hockey was introduced to the East HIll in the 1971-72 season as a club team. The next year it was elevated to a varsity sport and the program has called Lynah Rink home ever since.

Opp The innovative, scienti! cally designed hockey treadmill has a large ice-like surface that can tilt from zero to 32 percent elevation, while running at speeds over 16 miles onents per hour.
