This year's Red Hot Hockey showdown in Manhattan went to Cornell University once more.
The 16th-ranked Big Red outlasted longtime Eastern rival Boston University, 2-1, on Friday night before 15,289 on-lookers at Madison Square Garden. Ondrej Psenicka's first goal of the 2023-24 season, just over eight minutes into the third period, stood up as the game-winner, after Ryan Walsh had tied the contest for Cornell on a power play just under four minutes into the final frame.
Doug Grimes scored BU's only goal, the first of his NCAA career, late in the second period to give the fifth-ranked Terriers the early lead. Ian Shane stopped 35 shots in net for Cornell (5-3-1 overall), while Mathieu Caron made 17 saves for BU (9-4-1).
Cornell retains the Kelley-Harkness Cup, as the Big Red has now won four straight Red Hot Hockey matchups with the Terriers, in a competition that is now held every other year at MSG.
