Glad you pointed out "regular" season. I'd glossed over that. Let's hope he'll be back for the playoffs

Would you consider information on injuries from Coach Schafer, sent to whatever his e-mail distribution list is, to be "public" enough to post? I imagine many of us received an email message from him this afternoon which has the same information about Vanderlaan, and some additional information. I was going to share that info here, with a comment on the above, but will wait to make sure the consensus here (or just Greg's opinion) is that it is OK to do so.

I don't think Greg was concerned about the legality of sharing information here, but rather whether or not opposing coaching staffs might have access to the information or not.

I guess that's kind of what I am asking.
On the one hand, if opposing teams really are interested in that information it is not ridiculous to think they would have someone check sites like this. It's also not ridiculous to think that if they really want the information, they could get an address into the distribution list, and get the information directly. I just don't know, but would prefer to err on the side of caution, since Greg was clearly concerned about the original post.

Two concerns:
1. Spies. Spies, everywhere. MY PRECIOUS!!!
2. Respect for the player's privacy.
I was not concerned about OP -- a public tweet by a news organization. I would worry about RUMINT, and also about insider trading.
My personal view on a Schafer-shared email to the Cornell community is I wouldn't post it to a public site. But I am hardly The Director of Ethics of eLynah so of course use your own discretion. I merely wished to put an oar in the water.

I cannot imagine that Mike would divulge confidential injury info to a mailing list, of any sort, expecting complete confidentiality. Out of that entire list, Mike has to know that somebody will divulge that secret. He would NEVER take that chance!!

Yes, that’s my thought too. If Mike send out an e-mail to a general e-Mail list it’s hard to imagine he would reasonably expect the information would be kept “secret.” That being said I can understand why someone would elect not to post the information on a public forum.

The Cornell Sun has just posted a story online. Apparently, Schafer divulged the information during his "media availability day." Regardless of what is posted on this listserv, it's difficult to imagine that any upcoming opponents who want to get this type of information before they play us will have trouble finding it. Schafer also talked about injuries to at least three other players, including one who is expected to return to the lineup this weekend.

I think there's a pretty stark ethical contrast between checking a public forum and actively signing up for a non-public mailing list. I'm also a little bit surprised Schafer would go public with this information. He is usually tight-lipped about injuries, but maybe that is more the result of nobody asking than it is him concealing information from the opposition. I still think we shouldn't discuss anything that isn't public.andyw2100

Based on what people have been posting, I think it is probably safe to share the following.
Below is an excerpt from the email message I mentioned, with the names of players who have not yet been mentioned in this thread redacted.
"It got even tougher as we lost <--PLAYER--, with some additional descriptive text> and <--PLAYER--, with some additional descriptive text> and our captain Mitch Vanderlaan who will be out for the rest of the regular season. These injuries will hurt but others will need to step up."
When I first read that I couldn't tell whether or not all three players were out through the end of the regular season or whether Schafer was just referring to Vanderlaan being out that long. I thought it was almost certainly the latter, but I really wasn't certain. So I was relieved when I saw the first post in this thread, since I already knew about Vanderlaan.

this discussion is ridiculous. if schafer sent the invitation to the mailing list of course you can post it here and you should. there is no real ethics point you are making by holding back what is essentially public information in any rational sense of the word and there is literally no competitive advantage because anything you think you're preserving is certainly known to whoever you are keeping it from.
whatever the cause, this really sucks about vanderlaan. i don't even remember the play that knocked him out of the RPI game.

Totally agree. Coach said this and the Sun reported it. It's hard to get more public than that. And even if the NC schools didn't find out, they will soon know when he's not on the game roster. If they do know, they don't know how we're going to adapt to it, so no real competitive advantage.
To me this whole "controversy" is laughable. If it's on twitter, the news, or from the coach, it's public.

"The Cornell Daily Sun" tweeted about Vanderlaan, but not any other players, at least as far as I know. Greg and Beeeej, long-time eLynah members whose opinion I respect (just as I respect yours, Jim) suggested caution with respect to posting information here, so I chose not to include names of players that I had not seen publicized anywhere other than Schafer's email message.
I don't think anyone was concerned about the posting of the Vanderlaan information.

In a note to some longtime friends/supporters of Cornell hockey, Schafer mentioned the loss of three players. He mentioned Vanderlaan is out for the rest of the RS. Depending on how you read punctuation into what he wrote, you might believe all three are out for the rest of the RS or Vanderlaan only. Schafer is positively Belichickian in imparting little to no news you don't already know, nothing actionable by the other side. "It's on to Potsdam."ugarte

I'm guessing we see Tschantz stay in for Cam, Mallot swap with Mitch, and we see Cairns for Smith. Unless Murphy earns a look -- I'd like to see him back in at some point, his enthusiasm last year was wonderful.

"It got even tougher as we lost <--PLAYER--, with some additional descriptive text> and <--PLAYER--, with some additional descriptive text> and our captain Mitch Vanderlaan who will be out for the rest of the regular season. These injuries will hurt but others will need to step up."
Schafer said he hopes to have the captain back for the playoffs.
This would imply that Smith and Donaldson could be back at any time, before or after the playoffs.

From my experience, a sprained ankle could fit the description and timeline. Maybe one of the MD's on this list could offer an opinion.

How much do you think Schafer is "playing it safe" given our record? I know all the catch phrases like we need to take it one game at a time, first goal is the regular season, blah blah. Would he sideline a marginally ready skater so they are closer to 100% for post-season??
What would you do if your player was just over the cusp of being ready to play tomorrow given there are (hopefully) four weeks of increasingly difficult post-season weekends on the horizon?

That's always a hard call. The 3-point cushion over Clarkson takes a little of the urgency out of that game. The other two things working in that theory's favor are: (1) the next men up on both F (Tschantz) and D (Cairns) are hardly incompetent, and (2) we really do not have a margin for another extended injury at either position as the full roster is permanently short 1 F (Hoffman) and 2 Ds (Shore, Bliss).KenP

I would play it safe given that we have nearly clinched a r1 bye and NCAA bid. I unfortunately think there is still quite a gap between our 6th D when everyone is healthy (probably Haiskanen) and Cairns. I am confident Cairns will develop into a good player but at the moment he looks pretty shaky in his positioning and in his spot passing (i.e. it seems he hasn't grasped The System especially well).

Whether to post about injuries mentioned in Schafer's weekly letter is a practical, not ethical, issue: we don't want other teams finding out. Obviously Schafer stating the injury situation/the Sun publishing it renders this conversation moot, but I have gotten the sense that when Schafer says something in the weekly email or at a Coach's Club meeting, but doesn't disclose it outside of that, he means for it to stay private (i.e., we probably shouldn't post about it here).

I think coach releases what he is comfortable releasing. Notice he didn't give a clinical description of what the injury is and how severe it is. If someone were Vanderlaan's roommate and disclosed it was a bruised C3 vertebrae, that would be treasonous. Once Schafer has gone public, I consider it public.
And if he does regret mentioning it in the email, in this instance, I assume he won't did it again.
P.S. My phone has apparently learned Vanderlaan's name so that I can swipe it into a message. I am fairly certain I didn't add it to the dictionary.

A bigger ethical issue is letting a player start playing again who's not 100%. It the player's injury could be made worse, or it might cause the player to have a lifetime of pain or other disability, then I would argue the player should not play, even if this costs the team a trophy.

Very clear that V is out for RS but might be back afterwards.
I wonder if Nick Foles can skate?
He's ours...you can't have him. Take Malcolm Butler.
Take Beau Allen - an Eagles free agent from Minn. who was apparently a dominating hockey player before football became his only sport.

Depends on the potential for injury and the player himself. There was a D3 (I think) college football player a few years back who had his damn pinky amputated so he could play in his team’s playoffs. You could probably find the story by googling.
Side note: Personally, no idea what he was thinking.

Same here. Interesting that SLUt is playing better since Ben Finkelstein, arguably their best player, left the team. May be a case of addition by subtraction.

YIKES. It’s true though. If Schafer were trying to keep secrets, he wouldn’t put anything in some mailing list, nor blab about it at a luncheon. He’d keep it a secret.

Yeah, but you edited out my follow-up question: Does it ever actually show up in the IJ? Or anywhere? I've been following CU hockey for a decade and I can't remember a single instance where something Schafer said at a luncheon or in an email ended up in an article. Most of the time Schafer will reveal injury information at the Coach's Club lunch that never even makes it into the email, let alone a newspaper. Unless you believe spies from other teams are paying $1000 for a Coach's Club membership and attending Schafer's lunches, there's no basis for what you're saying. I don't know why Schafer went public with the information this time, but he almost never does (and Brandon Thomas on Twitter has been equally tight-lipped about it when asked), despite lunch attendees being told the status of hurt players.ugarte

My answer to this is if the coach is giving out info to insiders that the insiders manage against all odds to keep quiet. do not come to eLF and brag that you have insider information that discretion keeps you from revealing.BearLover

I feel like this was directed at me and I don't feel like that's what I did.
Here's what I said in my first post, in response to Greg's post:
andyw2100
Trotsky
Note that people should be extremely circumspect about posting anything to this thread that is not public information, for obvious reasons.
Would you consider information on injuries from Coach Schafer, sent to whatever his e-mail distribution list is, to be "public" enough to post? I imagine many of us received an email message from him this afternoon which has the same information about Vanderlaan, and some additional information. I was going to share that info here, with a comment on the above, but will wait to make sure the consensus here (or just Greg's opinion) is that it is OK to do so.
I stated, and believed, that many members of eLynah had probably received the same email message that I did. That wasn't "bragging." I wanted to share the information, but when I read Greg's post thought that I better check first.

Gotta wonder how many Clarkson players are hurting. They have slacked off, starting with the Harvard tie.
Per Casey Jones, the Knights have had similar illness issues that Cornell has had the last couple weeks. I can say from personal experience that the flu has run rampant through Potsdam. A large contingent of alumni were up for the Brown/Yale weekend, half of us got the flu including me. I'm still shaking it off two weeks later, and it's a brutal one. The team was hit with it a couple weeks prior, so hopefully they were able to have a full week of practice this week and start getting back on track. The fatigue at the end of the weekend the last 3 weeks has been noticeable, and it wasn't like that at any point in the first semester.
