Good Evening Hockey Fans!
Welcome to LynahRink.com, the home of the Campaign for Big Red Hockey!
As an Alumni-elected Trustee of Cornell and campaign chair, I invite you to participate in the Campaign for Big Red Hockey by "naming a seat at Lynah Rink."
In April, 1963, I was the student manager of the men’s hockey team and was introduced to new coach Ned Harkness. As we walked around Lynah Rink, he said to me; …"we’re going to fill this place with banners…" and he outlined the many changes that were to take place. Things were different the next year, and the past 43 years have been very exciting for the fans of Big Red hockey.
The "Campaign for Big Red Hockey" will raise $10 million to modernize storied Lynah, but not without your help! This renovation project will benefit not only the women's and men's varsity hockey programs, but also the larger Ithaca and Cornell communities, as well as Cornell's intramural, club and PE programs. Construction is set to begin after the end of this season and be completed by January 2007.
Thanks to the generosity of former players and fans, we’ve already raised $8.8 million. To successfully meet the project goal, we are now offering you the opportunity to "Name a Seat" at Lynah Rink. In recognition of a gift of $1,000 to the campaign, Cornell Hockey will be honored to name a seat for you, a family member or anyone else you choose. Each name will appear on a large presentation located on the wall behind each section. You will also receive a certificate memorializing your dedication.
I encourage you to join me in supporting this important project.
Sincerely,
Bob Huret `65
Chair, The Campaign for Big Red Hockey
